We've been getting a lot of geek showbiz news, and we round it up here.
FX on Hulu has announced a premiere date for its adaptation of Vertigo comic series Y: The Last Man (see "‘Y: The Last Man in Production"). The show will debut on September 13, according to Deadline. Written by Brian K. Vaughan with art by Pia Guerra, Goran Sudzuka, and Paul Chadwick and inks by Jose Marzan, Jr., the Eisner Award-winning series was collected into an omnibus in 2019 (see "’Y: The Last Man’ Omnibus").
Warner Bros. has released a second trailer (below) for Space Jam: A New Legacy, due out July 16. The first trailer was released in April (see “Trailer for ‘Space Jam’”).

Netflix will not proceed with a second season of Jupiter’s Legacy (see "’Jupiter’s Legacy’ Trailer"), according to a Tweet by Mark Millar, who wrote the comic series on which it was based. "We’ve made the tough call of letting our incredible cast out of their show commitment," he wrote. Instead the next Millarworld live-action show will be an adaptation of Super Crooks, which Millar created with Leinil Francis Yu. The live action adaptation will come after the Super Crooks anime by Studio Bones is released later this year.

Other series in the block include My Hero Academia, Dr. Stone, Food Wars!, Black Clover, Naruto: Shippuden, Attack on Titan, and Dragon Ball Super.
A sequel to Disney’s Cruella, which opened in theaters and on Disney+ on May 28, is in development with director Craig Gillespie and screenwriter Tony McNamara from the first film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
