Deadline is reporting that FX comic drama Y: The Last Man has added Shameless alum Elliot Fletcher.
Fletcher will play Yorick’s friend Sam, whose impoverished childhood has made him resourceful, resilient, and occasionally self-destructive.
Schnetzer recently subbed in for original series star Barry Keoghan, who exited the project in early February, the latest in an impossibly slow development. The series was originally put into development in October 2015 before naming Green showrunner in November 2016, receiving the first pilot draft in spring 2017, ordering a pilot and adding Croal in April 2018, receiving a series order in February 2019, and losing Croal and Green in April 2019.
In addition to his role on the Showtime dramedy, Fletcher’s television credits include The Fosters, Faking It, and Runaways. He joins a cast that includes Diane Lane, Imogen Poots, Lashana Lynch, Juliana Canfield, Marin Ireland, Amber Tamblyn, and Timothy Hutton.
