The DC Comics/Vertigo title was first launched in 2002 and revolves around Yorick Brown — the last surviving human with a Y chromosome — and his Capuchin monkey, Ampersand. The series follows escape artist Yorick after a mysterious plague as he sets out to find what might have wiped out the male chromosome. Y: The Last Man, written and created by Vaughan and artist Pia Guerra, ran for 60 issues and has been collected in multiple graphic novels.

Here is FX's formal description of the potential series: "Y traverses a post-apocalyptic world in which a cataclysmic event has decimated every male mammal save for one lone human. The new world order of women will explore gender, race, class and survival." Lane will play Senator Jennifer Brown, a junior congresswoman in her first term who has already made a name for herself in political circles for her willingness to put personal ideals above politics. She is also the mother of Yorick. Courtesy of Vertigo Comics / J.G. Jones Keoghan will take on the lead role of Yorick, a young man quick to use humor to deflect from his problems, who may be the lone male survivor of a worldwide plague.
