'Y: The Last Man' FX Cast Unveiled - Diane Lane and Barry Keoghan to Star(2019 Update: Series moving forward without current showrunners)
- Thread starter Cornballer
- Start date
They'll have to tone it down as badly as TWD if they want this on basic cable, unless they finally throw off the yoke of advertiser minded self censorship.
FX has some pretty intense stuff. If they can show Sons of Anarchy with commercials this shouldn't be a problem.
I don't know why they would though, FX has been pretty straightforward with content, and I don't think they'd really have to tone down much in terms of violence or sex or anything.
It certainly won't be as neutered as something like Preacher had to be.
FX allows for non-breast/genital nudity and f-words, so I think it'll be okay.
I hope this is good. I love the ending but I wouldn't mind a few changes. Adaptations don't have to be 100% for me.
I'm curious if they will update aspects of the series, like acknowledging trans and intersex people. (I don't remember if the comic was that progressive.)
Pretty much every actor in Britain under 45 has done a guest stint on Doctors (a hospital-set soap opera) at some point, it's like a rite of passage.

If you've got a Y chromosome and you're not Yorick Brown, the gendercide will getcha. It probably won't go beyond that.

Aww
I finally finished the series earlier last year, and it's so damn good.
I did hate the casting for Yorrick tho.
Rip.

Fables DID get made, it just became Once Upon A Time when ABC realized they could just take all the free IPs and not have to pay out Willingham.
It's selfish, but I'm not a fan of Barry Keohgan and my interest in this show deflated when I saw he was attached. Not too bummed by this.
Hopefully it actually gets made someday though, damn.
Truth!

Truth!
I agree with this. Keohgan has just been too much of a weirdo in his roles for me to get past it.
Honestly I don't even know how you market a "Y: The Last Man" tv series in 2019 without it looking...off

THR has a take on this:
FX's 'Y: The Last Man' Series Parting Ways With Showrunners
So first American Gods, and now Y. Are we sure it was Fuller who doomed Gods and not Green?

Oh, well, that's good then.
But to your Fuller point, the guy does have a graveyard full of things that have his name on it.
It's not good. Green is a really talented writer and whatever will end up on screen will very likely not match the work that he and Croal put in.
'tis a joke.
Ah, so it's still moving forward with the same cast. Good. Not sure how to feel about the change in showrunners - it could be a good move or a bad one. Hard to say without knowing what their vision for the show was. Here's hoping for the best!
It's good that the show isn't dead, there's plenty of other talented people out there and FX has a pretty great track record. Without seeing the show in its current form I cannot say if it'll be good or not, who knows but I looked up Croal and the fact that she worked on Luke Cage and Jessica Jones doesn't instill too much confidence in me.
Yep, her resume is weak and Michael Green has a ton of misses as well. This could end up being great for the show.

Oh, nice. Glad FX is sticking with it. Fingers crossed they find someone who's a good fit for the project moving forward.
🤷‍♂️
This would be her first showrunning gig, and that's usually where you get to see a writer shine (or crash and burn).
Kings, rats. he created Kings.
Fuck this sucks. FX been dragging their goddamn feet on this motherfucking project for goddamn ever. I met Hannah Beachler last year, the production designer for Ryan Coogler who did everything from Fruitvale Station to Black Panther with him, who just won an Oscar, and she was fucking stoked to work on this.
God damn. I'm butthurt about this one.
