During his executive session, FX CEOJohn Landgrafexplained why he’s givingYa whole year to develop since filming the pilot.“One of the things that we’re struggling with in general, andYis a part of this, there’s so much frantic energy right now around this competition, around this sense of volume,” Landgraf said. “Obviously when platforms are just putting hundreds and hundreds of shows on the air, everyone else feels the level of anxiety to get shows out there to remain apt of the conversation. The enemy of goodness and excellence is time. You simply need more time sometimes, if you want to get things right, if you want to take care. You have to stop, you have to slow down. Sometimes you have to shut down for a period of time. You have to come back to the original material.“Landgraf also indicated that much of the ensuing year will be spent on developing the adaptation.“I have an enormous amount of respect for everyone who’s working onYand Brian K. Vaughn,” Landgraf said. “It’s just not an easy adaptation. It’s taken us a long time to get right. That’s what this is really all about. When things are slowing down, it’s collectively we’ve made a judgement that they need more time to tackle creative problems and get it right. The best tool we have is a very high batting average, the sense that we won’t bat 1000 and you won’t like everything we do, but a lot of care has been taken making it, marketing it and the FX brand is a good navigational tool in a very crowded field of television to find very good programming.“The press release summarizesYthusly:
ShowrunnersMichael GreenandAïda Mashaka Croaladded, “Brian and Pia’s exploration of a world without men is a favorite for its depth, its humor, its insights and its monkey. Adapted today it offers us a cracked mirror to look at our own very cracked world. We thank them for their trust — we thank FX for their support — and we thank the casting gods for letting us work with this incredible group of actors.“Previously, FX CEO John Landgraf spoke to /Film abouthowYwould achieve its major monkey characterand others on the series.
