Younger
It's only a lie if you get caught.
Created by Darren Star
On TV Land, Paramount+
A warm, character-driven workplace comedy about reinvention and female friendship that balances the lie at its core with genuine affection and hope.
Liza Miller, a suddenly single stay-at-home mother, tries to get back into the working world, only to find it’s nearly impossible to start at the bottom at 40-year old. When a chance encounter convinces her she looks younger than she is, Liza tries to pass herself off as 26 and lands a job as an assistant at Empirical Press. Now she just has to make sure no one finds out the secret only she and her best friend Maggie share.
