We’re excited for our audience to see season two and beyond.”

Season two also boasts some amazing guest stars, including Matthew Morrison (“Glee”), as a reclusive author who lives on a farm, Camryn Manheim (“The Practice”) as a psychologist pitching a life guidebook to people in their 20s, and returning guest stars Kathy Najimy (“Sister Act”) and Josh Pais (“Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll”), as Denise and Todd, Lauren’s (Bernard) parents, as well as Martha Plimpton (“Raising Hope”), back as Cheryl Sussman, the former colleague who blackmailed Liza (Foster) in season one.

“Younger” follows Liza (two-time Tony® winner Sutton 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 (Miriam Shor), Liza has to figure out how to balance her real life with best friend Maggie (Debi Mazar), and her “pretend” life with her new crew – friend/coworker Kelsey (Hilary Duff), fashion publicist Lauren (Molly Bernard) and the always-sketchy Thad (Dan Amboyer), Kelsey’s boyfriend. After Liza let her secret slip to sexy young tattoo artist Josh (Nico Tortorella) at the end of the first season, she now must try to salvage their relationship, all while navigating a confusing chemistry with her boss Charles (Peter Hermann) and dealing with her daughter Caitlin’s (Tessa Albertson) return from studying abroad. The series is written and executive produced by entertainment icon Darren Star.
