A new teaser trailer for Y: The Last Man dropped, and it teases the hunt for Yorick Brown, the only human with a Y chromosome to survive a mysterious cataclysmic event.
The new FX series is based on Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra’s DC Comics’ graphic novel series of the same name. The 60 issues graphic novel series began developing at FX in 2015 after a feature film based on it at New Line Cinema was scrapped.
The premise is a sudden cataclysmic event that wipes out every single mammal with a Y chromosome, except for a man named Yorick and his pet monkey, Ampersand.
The full-length trailer showed the fall of mankind, and FX has since dropped a few teasers, including the recent one with Yorick.
The teaser, titled ‘Rumors,’ shows Yorick’s existence is still a secret, and no one knows about him surviving. He is at high risk as it’s unclear what the all-female government has in store for him.
The graphic novels have mentions of transgender people but don’t focus much on them; the show makers said that this would change in the show. The trailer explains that trans men do not possess Y chromosomes and therefore survived the cataclysmic event.
The series will follow the survivors in this new world as they struggle with their efforts to restore what was lost and the opportunity to build something better.
The cast ensemble includes Ben Schnetzer as Yorick Brown, Diane Lane as Jennifer Brown, Olivia Thirlby as Hero Brown, Amber Tamblyn as Kimberly Cunningham, Marin Ireland as Nora Brady, Diana Bang as Dr. Allison Mann, Elliot Fletcher as Sam Jordan, and Juliana Canfield as Beth Deville.
Y: The Last Man has an episode count of 10 episodes and will premiere from September 13 on FX on Hulu.
