After rumors of Jodie Foster being in talks for FX's series adaptation of the comic book Y: The Last Man, Diane Lane was the actress who was ultimately cast in the series and she's a great choice.
The news comes from Variety, who reveals that Barry Keoghan, Imogen Poots, Lashana Lynch, Juliana Canfield and Marin Ireland have also been cast in the series. It's also being reported that the series will simply be called Y.
Keoghan will play Yorick Brown, "the main character from the graphic novels on which the show is based. He is described as a young man quick to use humor to deflect from his problems who may be the lone male survivor of a worldwide plague."
Poots will play Hero Brown, Yorick’s sister. "She is a tough and confident Emt who nurses a deep emotional trauma that often leads her to cross personal and professional lines.
