Drama/sci-fi series debuts September 13 on Hulu
Y did it take so long for this FX on Hulu series adaptation of the Hugo Award-winning, post-apocalyptic Vertigo series by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra to get from page to screen after it was originally put into development in 2015? Among other issues: The original showrunners, Michael Green and Aida Mashaka Croal, departed the production in 2019 over creative differences, and were eventually replaced by Eliza Clark (Animal Kingdom, Rubicon), while original last man portrayer Barry Keoghan left the series in early 2020 and was replaced by Ben Schnetzer (Warcraft). Three additional stars, Imogen Poots, Timothy Hutton, and Lashana Lynch, were also replaced last fall when filming finally commenced.
Like the comics, the TV series is set in a world in which a cataclysmic event has wiped out every male on Earth (except one), leaving a planet inhabited by women. Surviving both the behind-the-scenes turmoil and the on-screen apocalypse are stars Diane Lane, Amber Tamblyn, Olivia Thirlby, Ashley Romans, and Marin Ireland. All 10 episodes were directed by women, and two will stream on day one followed by weekly single-episode installments.
