Variety reports that the former Warcraft and Snowden star will be taking on the role of Yorick Brown, the main character of the Eisner Award-winning comic books by Brian K. Vaughan, which was ordered to series by FX last year. We’re hoping that Schnetzer’s casting will be final, as production for the series is slated to commence in April.

No premiere date for Y: The Last Man has yet been announced.
