Created by Darren Star and starring Sutton Foster, Hilary Duff, Debi Mazar, and Nico Tortorella, this comedy series combines light drama, the publishing world, and questions about age. Originally broadcast between 2015 and 2021, Younger will be available in its entirety on Netflix on December 15, 2025, with all seven seasons. Adapted from Pamela Redmond Satran's novel, the series follows a heroine seeking to relaunch her professional life after a long hiatus.
Liza Miller, a 40-year-old single mother, is struggling to find a job after leaving the workforce. A chance encounter leads her to pass herself off as a woman 20 years younger. She then decides to adopt this new identity in order to break into the publishing industry in New York. Her best friend Maggie and her colleague Kelsey become the guardians of her secret, which Liza must protect in a competitive environment.
Throughout the episodes, Liza juggles ambitions, new responsibilities, and romantic relationships. This initial lie forces her to rethink her place in a demanding professional world and deal with the consequences of her double life. The series addresses generational gaps, social pressure, and the transformations associated with contemporary work.
The production is an adaptation of Pamela Redmond Satran's 2005 novel. Darren Star, also the creator of Sex and the City and Beverly Hills, wanted to modernize the story by incorporating changes related to social media and the evolution of the publishing world. The writing team includes both established authors and young screenwriters to reflect contemporary cultural practices. Patricia Field, costume designer for Sex and the City, designs the looks for the series, playing on generational codes. Filming combines natural New York settings and studios to represent the work and living spaces of the literary world.
The tone combines romantic comedy, professional drama, and urban chronicle. The themes focus on reinventing oneself, the relationship with age, and female solidarity. The target audience includes fans of series centered on career dynamics, intergenerational relationships, and stories of personal emancipation.
