TORONTO (January 21, 2016) – Some things get better with age. The sharp and sexy series
YOUNGER, which the
Huffington Post calls “the best show about 20-somethings on TV,” moves to E! for its second season, premiering
Monday, Feb. 1 at
9 p.m. ET. Written and executive produced by entertainment icon
Darren Star,
YOUNGER follows Liza (two-time Tony
®-winner
Sutton Foster,
Anything Goes), 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.
In Season 2, now working under the prickly Diana (
Miriam Shor, THE GOOD WIFE), Liza has to figure out how to balance her real life with best friend Maggie (
Debi Mazar, ENTOURAGE), and her “pretend” life with her new crew – including friend and coworker Kelsey (
Hilary Duff, GOSSIP GIRL). After Liza let her secret slip to sexy young tattoo artist Josh (
Nico Tortorella, THE FOLLOWING) at the end of the first season, she must now try to salvage their relationship, all while navigating a confusing chemistry with her boss Charles (
Peter Hermann, BLUE BLOODS ), and dealing with her daughter Caitlin’s (
Tessa Albertson,
About Ray) return from studying abroad
