“YOUNGER,” TV LAND’S CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED AND BUZZWORTHY SERIES FROM DARREN STAR, GETS SEASON TWO PICK-UP
New York, NY – April 21, 2015 – Critics and fans alike are buzzing about “Younger,” and TV Land has been listening! The network announced today that its critically acclaimed original series, “Younger,” starring Sutton Foster, Hilary Duff, Debi Mazar, Miriam Shor and Nico Tortorella, has been picked up for a 12-episode second season. The series, which is executive produced and created for television by Emmy® Award-winning writer/producer Darren Star, is now in its first season on TV Land, airing Tuesdays at 10pm ET/PT. All episodes can currently be watched for free on Hulu and TVLand.com.
“‘Younger’ is the first step in TV Land’s evolution, and we are very proud to announce a second season," said Keith Cox, Executive Vice President of Development and Original Programming for TV Land. "We’re thrilled to continue working with Darren, and really eager to see where he takes this story and our amazing cast next.”
"We couldn't be more excited that audiences are discovering ‘Younger’ and falling in love with our fabulous cast,” added Darren Star. “I can't wait to have everyone back in New York to shoot season two."
In addition to universal praise, other highlights for “Younger” include:
To date, “Younger” has been viewed by 20 million people across multiple networks and multiple platforms, including TV Land, Nick at Nite, Hulu, VOD and TVLand.com.
A “Certified Fresh” 96% rating on RottenTomatoes.com.
Growing legions of fans on social media, including a +70% increase of likes on Facebook and a +63% increase of followers on Instagram.
“Younger” follows Liza (Foster), a 40-year old woman who pretends to be 26 in order to get a job in the highly competitive world of publishing – and succeeds. Now working under the prickly Diana (Shor), Liza has to figure out how to balance her real life with bestie Maggie (Mazar), and her “pretend” life with new friend and coworker Kelsey (Duff)…all while embarking on an exciting and somewhat confusing relationship with sexy tattoo artist Josh (Tortorella).
The first season, shot in Brooklyn and New York City, will see guest stars including Jane Krakowski (“30 Rock”), Ana Gasteyer (“Saturday Night Live”), Emmy® Award winner Martha Plimpton (“Raising Hope”), Peter Hermann (“Law & Order: SVU”) and Kathy Najimy (“Sister Act”). The season finale is scheduled to air Tuesday, June 9th at 10pm ET/PT on TV Land.

Oh my god yes!!!
ReplyDeleteYes! I'm beyond excited this was renewed. Love it!
ReplyDeleteOHHHH YEAHH! Awesome cute and funny show! Reminds me of the early 20s shows
ReplyDeleteYay! I love this show, so fun to watch.I want my own Nico! YUM
ReplyDeleteThis is great news! I honestly wasn't expecting this... Ratings have been so low and Nico was cast in a pilot si I assumed this was dead...
ReplyDeleteMaybe Tv Land just wants to keep Darren around... Either way I'm glad we're getting more epsiodes!
Didn't think I would like this show, but it's pretty funny :D
ReplyDeleteGreat news, I'm addict !
ReplyDeleteWonderful, this show is really great!
ReplyDeleteSo happy about this! I love Sutton Foster, there's never enough of her on my screen.
ReplyDeleteSo glad about this decision. With TVLand cancelling Hot in Cleveland it needs something critically stable (that I can watch, ha). I fell in love with the show right away. Everything's perfect. From casting to soundtrack. And some lines are just pure genius.
ReplyDeleteYEAH! And thank you guys for covering the show!
ReplyDeleteIn what pilot was Nico cast? It would be really bad if he is not in season 2 ...
ReplyDeleteThis is seriously one of the best shows on TV, I am happy that they were able to secure another season.
