The series is a perfect match for the current climate of long form storytelling on the small screen. Enticing viewers into a new world with a mystery at its heart has been the starting point for many shows in recent years; Lost, Heroes and the current poster child Westworld are easy examples of this.
Today THR revealed that Y: The Last Man will be run by Michael Green, currently at work on the Starz TV adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s American Gods with Hannibal man Bryan Fuller. He will also write the script along with Vaughan.

With Vaughan back behind the wheel here’s hoping we’ll get to join Yorick and Ampersand before long.
