Paramount+/ViacomCBS Streaming Event: Deadline’s Complete Coverage

The series is executive produced and written by Star, with Tony Hernandez of Jax Media executive producing.

The upcoming seventh and final season of Darren Star’s series “Younger” will stream on Paramount+ ahead of its broadcast run on TV Land — where the Sutton Foster-led comedy has been playing since its 2015 premiere.

In a sneak peek preview, series creator Star and Foster teased “one last roller coaster” in the final 12 episodes of the series, which follows Foster as a talented editor navigating the highly competitive world of publishing — while juggling the complications of mixing business with pleasure and facing the lie she created about her age to land her dream job.

The first six seasons of the show — which also stars Miriam Shor, Hilary Duff, Debi Mazar, Nico Tortorella and Peter Hermann — are currently available to stream on the service.

The seventh and final season of Darren Star’s “Younger,” starring Sutton Foster and Hilary Duff, will debut first on Paramount Plus before it airs on TV Land later this year, announced ViacomCBS at its big streaming presentation Wednesday.

The last season, which is 12 episodes long, does not yet have a set premiere date. The move to put the popular series on the streamer comes as ViacomCBS is looking to publicize the launch of Paramount Plus, which is being rebranded from CBS All Access on March 4.

Paramount Plus shares the SVOD rights with Hulu, which previously exclusively hosted the “Younger” series library.

“With Younger, Darren Star has done it once again, creating a generational defining series that has captured millions of fans who are craving more and we are excited to pay that off with the final season on Paramount+,” said Chris McCarthy, president of the MTV Entertainment Group.

Star,...

ViacomCBS has teamed with Younger creator Darren Star on a spinoff of TV Land’s flagship series, with Hilary Duff to star, sources tell Deadline.

The veteran comedy, which is heading into its seventh season, stars Sutton Foster. The spinoff would be built around Sutton’s co-star Duff.

The project is currently in early development and a network is not yet attached. It could be headed to Paramount Network, we hear, where Younger was slated to move for its sixth season, but plans were reversed and it remained in its original home on TV Land. It’s also possible the series could be shopped elsewhere.

A TV Land spokesperson declined comment.

A strong ratings performer, Younger ranked as the top cable comedy last year among women 18-49 and women 25-54. The Season 6 premiere was TV Land’s highest-rated series premiere ever among viewers 25-54 and women 25-54, according to the network.

The September 4 season six finale of TV Land’s series Younger scored the hit comedy’s top rating for a season ender among Women 25-54 (1.4 in Live+3). The closer, which drew 1.2 million total viewers in L+3, scored season highs among several key demos, including P25-54 (.89 rating), W18-49 (1.1) and P18-49 (.70), while outperforming the season-to-date average by double digits in those demos (L+3).

Versus the Season 5 finale, the last episode was up in P25-54 and W25-54, down in P18-49, W18-49 and total viewers.

To date in 2019, Younger, which already has been renewed for a seventh season, is the #1 rated original ad-supported cable sitcom among female viewers, W18-49 and W25-54. The Darren Star comedy is poised for a three-peat as it also finished as #1 in those demos in 2017 and 2018 (L+7).

Additionally, for the sixth season in a row, Younger’s season finale was rated higher than the season premiere,...

Darren Star’s Younger will keep going on TV Land. The Viacom network has picked up a seventh season of the hit comedy series halfway through its Season 6 run. With the renewal, Younger becomes TV Land’s longest running original series, surpassing Hot In Cleveland, and one of the longest-running cable sitcoms.

Younger’s sixth season, which debuted June 12, logged the series’ highest-rated season premiere in People 25-54 and Women 25-54 demos. It was also up +23% year-to-year among total viewers, drawing 1.3 million viewers.

Coming off a fifth season that ranked as its highest-rated ever among adults 18-49, Younger remains the top cable sitcom for the third year in a row among W25-54 and W18-49.

“Season after season, Younger has continued to reach new heights and build an incredibly loyal fan base,” said Keith Cox, President, Development and Production, Paramount Network and TV Land. “We love this talented and...

It’s official: Darren Star’s hit comedy series Younger is staying put at TV Land. The Viacom network has set a June 12 premiere date for its flagship original series’ upcoming sixth season. The announcement was made by the show’s cast (watch the video above).

It had been previously announced.that Younger would be moving to sibling Paramount Network starting with Season 6. Given the series’ long history and ratings success on TV Land, that decision was eventually reversed.

Younger established TV Land as destination for single-camera comedy series and has consistently grown its ratings season after season, including closing out the most recent fifth season as its highest-rated ever among adults 18-49. Younger also has been the #1 series on ad-supported cable for two consecutive years among Women 18-49 and Women 25-54.

The series starred “Clueless” star Alicia Silverstone as a mother navigating the 1970s sexual revolution. Mena Suvari and Jennifer Bartels also starred in the 12-episode first season. While the John Riggi-created series started off strong, it did not maintain high enough ratings to merit a sophomore run.

The cast also included Makenna James, Lia McHugh, Cheyenne Jackson and James Tupper. John Wells, John Riggi and Alex Hardcastle served as executive producers.

“Younger” Season 6 will now air on Paramount Network instead of TV Land, Variety has learned. In addition, the Viacom-owned cable network has also greenlit a new series from “Younger” creator Darren Star.

“Younger” stars Sutton Foster, Hilary Duff, Debi Mazar, Miriam Shor, Nico Tortorella, Peter Hermann, Molly Bernard and Charles Michael Davis. It follows Liza (Foster), a talented and aspiring editor in the highly competitive world of publishing. As Liza’s personal and professional lives have become intertwined, she has juggled the complications and faced the consequences of the lie she created about her age to land her dream job. In addition to creating the series, Star serves as executive producer and writer. Tony Hernandez of Jax Media executive produces for Paramount Network. Dottie Zicklin and Eric Zicklin also serve as executive producers and writers on the series.

“Younger” is the latest TV Land series to make the move to Paramount Network.

Season 5 of TV Land’s flagship original series, Younger, wasted no time in tackling the current hot-button topic of sexual harassment in its first episode, with a character whose behavior fits the bill.

“We had the character of Edward L.L. Moore built in. He had previously been there and was really inappropriate with Liza’s character, and we were all in the writer’s room just talking about Harvey Weinstein and everything thing that was happening with hashtag me too,” said exec producer Dottie Zicklin. She admitted that while Moore’s behavior was initially used as a comedic device, “We thought we have to do a little penance and deal with this the way the world is dealing with it.”

The episode, titled #LizaToo, also served as a wake-up call for the rest of the crew. “Everyone on our show also had to re-examine everything that they thought was...

In its fifth season, “Younger” is taking the #MeToo movement head-on and taking a new approach to a character it introduced much earlier on in the show’s run because of the current climate.

In the season premiere episode, aptly titled “#LizaToo,” a famed science fiction author and top client at the publishing house Empirical Press within the show, was outed as a sexual harasser right on the eve of his next book’s announcement.

“He had previously been there and really inappropriate with Liza’s character, and we were just talking about Harvey Weinstein and the hashtag ‘me too’ [in the writers’ room],” executive producer Dottie Zicklin said at the Atx Television Festival Sunday. “It was already part of our world — that we kind of laughed at for the first couple times he was on the show and we thought we had to do a little penance and deal with it the way...

Younger continues to defy the very ageism it discusses on screen by growing older on TV Land!

While Younger Season 5 Episode 1 premieres on Tuesday, June 5, the network shared the news of the Season 6 renewal in advance.

Sutton Foster and the cast have been making the rounds proving that multi-generational friendships are the future and age, no matter what others in the world might try to tell you, is nothing but a number.

Whitney, Season 2, Episode 14: “Crazy, Stupid Words”

Written by Zachary Rosenblatt & Eric Zicklin

Directed by Andy Ackerman

Airs Wednesdays at 8pm (Et) on NBC

Just as Whitney surprises us with a great episode and an awesome guest star last week, it declines in entertainment and hilarity this week. It seems more and more each week that NBC’s Whitney insists on producing more bad episodes than good. There is nothing particularly good about “Crazy, Stupid Words” as the show’s aim to balance drama and comedy once again is careless.

The episode opens with Alex and Whitney in a coffee shop eavesdropping on a couple’s argument and almost having an argument themselves whilst defending the strangers. In this scene we discover Whitney doesn’t like the word ‘crazy’ and thus the main plot of this episode explores the way that certain words can aggravate people. It seems the female...

Modern Family Season 4, Episode 17: “Best Men”

Written by Dan O’Shannon, Abraham Higginbotham and Bianca Douglas

Directed by Steven Levitan

Airs on Wednesdays at 9pm on ABC

This week we see the return of Sal, played brilliantly by none other than Elizabeth Banks, and this time she’s getting married. Barging in late at night, Sal announces that she wants Mitch and Cam to be her “Best Men”. The last minute announcement leads to a last minute hen party where Sal temporarily gets cold feet and makes out with a bar tender. Sal is a great character and Elizabeth Banks does crazy well, but the outcome feels a little disappointing. The episode is set out in a way that makes the audience expect, or hope, that Cam and Mitch end up getting married but the writers are probably saving this for a season finale. Lily is hilarious as always.

Comedy Central has unveiled its entire development slate and, as to be expected, there are plenty of funny concepts in the bunch. The standouts include Highdeas, which explores such stoner-friendly hypotheticals as “white chocolate milk” and “hamster-sized rhinos”, Jc, the animated New York City adventures of one Jesus Christ, and The Fuzz, a police procedural in a corrupt city where humans and puppets co-exist.

Also in development are potential series from the likes of Jon Benjamin (Archer), Broken Lizard (Super Troopers), and Bob Odenkirk (Mr. Show), plus a Wating… adaptation from Rob McKittrick, the writer/director of the feature film that starred Ryan Reynolds. Note that this in addition to already announced projects from Will Ferrell, Nick Swardson, and The Onion. For a complete rundown, hit the jump.

“Futurama” – premieres Thursday, June 24

The Emmy® Award-winning “Futurama” is back! Everybody’s favorite zany group from the future has returned with 12 brand-new episodes,...

Comedy Central is set to unveil an eclectic development slate that tackles sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll and religion.

The network has 22 projects in the pipeline ranging from script deals to pilots, with the usual formats of animated shows, sketch comedy and talk shows represented.

Standout ideas include a live sex-chat talk show, a program based on a Funny or Die Web short, an update of "The Odd Couple" and an animated series about Jesus Christ.

That last item could raise eyebrows coming on the heels of the network's recent censorship of "South Park" for attempting to depict the Prophet Muhammad. The show in development, "Jc," is a half-hour about Christ wanting to escape the shadow of his "powerful but apathetic father" and live a regular life in New York.

"In general, comedy in its purest form always makes some people uncomfortable," said Comedy Central head of original programming Kent Alterman,...
