Available Summary:
"Y: The Last Man takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where a mysterious cataclysmic event simultaneously killed every mammal with a Y chromosome but for one man; Yorick Brown and his male pet monkey Ampersand. The series follows Yorick as he traverses the new world, as its survivors struggle with their losses and attempt to restore world society... In the original comic book series, every animal with a Y chromosome instantaneously dies at the same time, including most mammals... While transgender people did not feature heavily in the original comic, it was mentioned that trans men survived due to not having Y chromosomes... The producers aimed to update and expand on the ramifications of this, to reflect changing societal attitudes in the West toward gender in the almost two decades since the comic began. The showrunners specified that trans women with Y chromosomes also died, as well as women with androgen insensitivity who were unaware they possessed Y chromosomes. The showrunners also added a trans male character to the regular cast (Sam Jordan, played by Elliot Fletcher), who does not have a direct counterpart in the original comic, to expand on this world-building." -Wikipedia.
