Challenging the adage that the truth will set you free, Younger is a hilarious and insightful story that proves that you're only as young as you feel.
Alice has always looked young for her age, even with her graying hair and her dowdy New Jersey housewife style. Make that ex-housewife: Now that her husband's gone and her daughter is grown, Alice is in desperate need of a whole new life. So she lets her best friend Maggie, a hip New York City artist, transform her on New Year's Eve. Soon, thanks to the wonders of hair dye and tight jeans, Alice looks really young, as one night in a Manhattan bar confirms. At midnight, she kisses a boy who was in diapers when she was in high school.
She’s having too much fun to care.
The white lie Alice tells Josh
gets her thinking that if no one asks her age, she doesn’t have to tell.
So she applies for a job she had briefly before becoming a full-time
mom—and gets it. Meanwhile, Josh is falling head over heels for Alice,
who’s just way cooler than girls his age. He figures she’s about
twenty-nine—and for the first time since she was twenty-nine, or
possibly ever, Alice feels that life is ripe with possibility.
Unfortunately one possibility is that she’s gonna get caught.

“Younger” follows 40-year old Liza (Sutton Foster), a suddenly single mother who tries to get back into the working world, only to find it’s nearly impossible to start at the bottom at her age. When a chance encounter with the sexy Josh (Nico Tortorella), a young tattoo artist, convinces her she looks younger than she is, Liza tries to pass herself off as 26 – with the help of a makeover, courtesy of her best friend Maggie (Debi Mazar). Armed with new confidence, she lands a job as an assistant to the temperamental Diana (Miriam Shor) and teams up with her new co-worker and 20-something Kelsey (Hilary Duff) to make it in the career of her dreams. Now she just has to make sure no one discovers her secret. Take a peek at this season of Younger! New episodes are on every Tuesday night at 10/9c. on TV Land.
Take The Younger Challenge.
“Every woman should have a youth she's content to leave behind and a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to telling it in her old age”
― Pamela Redmond Satran
