You have questions. I have some answers.
I was shocked to hear that the FX on Hulu series “Y: The Last Man” was abruptly canceled! I was enjoying the show and looking forward to more episodes and seasons! Is there hope another streaming channel will pick this up?
The drama fell prey to economics, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Long delayed by off-camera changes and COVID, the show had reached a point where it would have to pick up the contract options for the cast while not knowing if, in fact, the show would keep going. “Ultimately, FX brass declined to pay $3 million to further extend options,” said the publication. But the makers of the show have held out hope that someone else will pick it up, and the Hollywood Reporter noted that HBO Max might be a good fit because of corporate ties between the show and the streamer. Showrunner Eliza Clark said, “It is the most collaborative, creatively fulfilling, and beautiful thing I have ever been a part of. We don’t want it to end.”
Can you tell me the name of the song and the composer for the lead-in to Marvel movies and TV programs? It sounds like a composition by John Williams.
It is not. What is simply known as the Marvel fanfare is reportedly by veteran composer Michael Giacchino, who has a long resume of work in TV and movies, including such productions as “Lost,” “Up,” “Rogue One” and “JoJo Rabbit.” An earlier version of the fanfare was by Brian Tyler.
