Over the course of 14 years, there was a doomed movie, rights switcharoos, multiple recastings, and a pandemic that delayed it getting on screen in any format. But it took less than eight weeks for the show to be canceled.
The cancellation decision was, per sources, not based on viewership figures as Hulu, like other streamers, does not release traditional ratings data. That means FX had little to no data on which to evaluate the series, including how it performed in its entirety over a certain timeframe, etc.” (That includes people binge-watching the show after it fully airs on November 1, for the record.)
If you’re a fan of the series, I wouldn’t worry too much about the show not getting a second season. Showrunner Eliza Clark said, “I’ve never in my life been more committed to a story, and there is so much more to tell” after the announcement of the cancelation. Also, sources say HBO Max is a likely home for the series. The penultimate episode of Y: The Last Man—for now—airs on Monday, October 25.
