Y: The Last Man traverses a post-apocalyptic world in which a cataclysmic event decimates every mammal with a Y chromosome but for one cisgender man and his pet monkey.

All episodes of the season will be directed by women and the production has a significant number of female department heads, including both DPs, the production designer, costume designer, casting director, editors, stunt coordinator and more, Disney+ says.
Y: The Last Man will be streaming through the Star offering on Disney+ in the UK with the first three episodes on 22 September, with new episodes every Wednesday.
