Back in October, FX swung the axe on its TV adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan’s acclaimed comic book series Y: The Last Man, although fans were given a glimmer of hope with the news that a second season was being shopped to alternative outlets.
Unfortunately, it seems the post-apocalyptic drama has failed to find a new home, with showrunner Eliza Clark taking to social media to confirm that the series is now officially dead.
“For those of you who have been asking me: we tried really hard to get another platform to pick up season 2 of Y,” wrote Clark. “But sadly, it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. It is always incredibly difficult to move a show, and in recent years, it has only gotten harder. So many of you have been so supportive of the show, and I am so grateful to you. I love the group of artists who made Y truly, madly, deeply. It was the best creative work environment I’ve ever been a part of. I am immensely proud of the work that we did.”
