Younger, originally aired on TV Land in 2015, is making its Netflix debut on January 7. Created by Darren Star (Sex and the City, Beverly Hills 90210), this compelling drama-comedy ran for seven seasons, with its final season on Paramount+.

The show follows Liza Miller (Sutton Foster), a 40-year-old divorced woman who poses as a 26-year-old to secure a job in publishing after facing persistent ageism. This deception becomes the foundation for both comedy and drama as she maintains her fake identity in both professional and personal relationships.

The stellar cast includes:

• Debi Mazar as Maggie Amato, Liza's supportive best friend
• Hillary Duff as Kelsey Peters, Liza's younger coworker and friend
• Nico Tortorella as Josh, a young tattoo artist who becomes romantically involved with Liza
• Peter Hermann as Charles Brooks, Liza's boss and potential love interest

The series excels in exploring complex themes through its central love triangle between Liza, Josh, and Charles, while maintaining the tension of Liza's secret identity. The show masterfully balances workplace drama, romantic relationships, and personal growth across its 84 episodes.

What makes Younger particularly compelling is its relevant commentary on ageism, reinvention, and authenticity in modern society. Through Liza's journey, viewers witness the challenges and consequences of living a double life, while exploring questions about age, love, and second chances.

The series offers sharp writing, strong character development, and engaging storylines that make it perfect for both new viewers and those seeking a rewatchable series.

Note: All 84 episodes of Younger will be available on Netflix starting January 7.
