The FX onHuluoriginal seriesY: The Last Manhas been officially canceled, even before it was able to conclude its first full season. However, the series showrunner is hoping that if the show cannot live on with Hulu that it might be picked up by another streaming service for another few seasons.
Y: The Last Manhas had an interesting roadto even getting the first season onHulu. There was a time when the series, based on the popular graphic novel, was slated for regular broadcast television but plans changed several different times before it was able to make its way to the streaming service. The show debuted earlier this fall but wasn’t even given a full season to prove itself before the execs at Hulu decided it was time to pull the plug, according to showrunner Eliza Clark.
