We watch Y: The Last Man online today to see a reality that many have joked about, but nobody's ever actually lived through. A society with (almost) no men. And the one man who's left? His name is Yorick Brown.
Oh, and in some late-breaking news the first three episodes are available now. Not just episode 1.
While it's an FX on Hulu series, you can only watch Y: The Last Man on Hulu. Episodes 1 through 3 are available now, with subsequent episodes coming on Mondays. There are six scheduled episodes, running through to October 4.
We don't know why Yorick is the only mammal with a Y-Chromosome remaining on Earth. Yorick has a pet monkey named Ampersand, and the two are trying to survive the world turned on its head.
Yorick's mother, Jennifer Brown, is also experiencing this new world from a unique angle. She's the new U.S. president, as she was a senator when the current president passed away as a part of the mysterious deaths of almost every male.
Y: The Last Man has seemingly been in development hell forever. The adaptation of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's graphic novels was announced on October 14, 2015. Then, in 2019, co-show runners Michael Green and Aida Mashaka Croal left the project due to creative differences, after years of news that FX execs liked the scripts they were sent.
And at 9 p.m. ET tonight, the cast and show-runner of Y: The Last Man will be doing a watchalong on Twitter. Check out their handles to track it live.
