TV Land’s 2015 comedy starring Hilary Duff, Youngeris now streaming on Netflix – and trending – but why did the series end with Season 7? Younger ran from 2015 to 2021 and originally aired on TV Land. That changed in season 7 Younger The final season will be released first on Paramount+ and Hulu and will later air on TV Land.

Younger was a popular and well-received comedy about Liza Miller (Sutton Foster), a recently divorced single mother who learns that the world of work is not particularly friendly to women in their 40s. Because of this, Liza gets a job by pretending to be 26 years old. To date, Younger is well-regarded, boasting an impressive 97% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, while the audience score is a little further behind at 76%. If Younger was such a hit, but what was the reason for the conclusion of season seven?

The younger season 7 was written as the last part

This plan had already been set before the show’s renewal was confirmed

With its seven seasons Younger was the longest-running scripted series in TV Land history when it came to an end. Given the show had such a long run that it’s hardly surprising that several factors influenced the decision to make Season 7 the series’ final season. Even before season 7 was officially announced, the creator of YoungerDarren Star, revealed that he planned for the seventh season to be the series’ last Younger was not cancelled.

This plan makes sense given the direction Star’s career was taking at the time and the cast of roles Younger had recently registered. In 2020, Star’s Netflix show Emily in Pariswas first published and enjoyed great popularity. Although Emily in Paris doesn’t have anywhere near the reviews Younger does, it certainly made a name for itself, and it seems like Star wanted to shift its focus back then Younger to this brand new show.

Similar, Hilary Duff had signed up How I met your fatherthe spin-off show of the hugely popular 9-season sitcom How I met your mother. This spin-off show premiered in 2022, although unfortunately How I met your father Season 3 was canceled, meaning the show ended just a year later in 2023. Nevertheless, it can be assumed that Duff’s career also changed at this point. Sutton Foster, the star of YoungerShe also turned her attention to other projects, including the children’s animated series Ridley Jonesin which Foster played Mama Jones.

Season 7 is the conclusion of Younger It also felt right given the larger story arc of the series. Seven years later, there was only so much you could do with the initial premise that Liza was pretending to be younger than she really was. By season seven, most of the main cast were actually aware that she had been deceptive about her age. With that story all but resolved, it was time for the show to end.

Why Younger moved from TV land to streaming for Season 7

Younger eventually aired in TV land, but only after the streaming service was released

As mentioned, Younger originally aired on TV Land, but it wasn’t until the seventh season that it changed course and was first released on Paramount+ and Hulu. It was later made available on TV Land. Originally, Younger Season 6 was supposed to move to Paramount+, although that was ultimately postponed. In both cases This appears to have been part of an effort to restructure TV Land and Paramount+’s parent media company.

The media company now known as Paramount Global (often just called Paramount) was previously called ViacomCBS and includes many subsidiaries. Subsidiaries include Paramount+, TV Land, CBS News, BET and many others. With so much change for the umbrella company, it makes sense that certain shows would be postponed. Younger apparently one of them.

What the Younger creator and cast said about a revival

Younger was rumored to have a spin-off show, but it never materialized

Although it was never officially confirmed, There was a much-rumored spin-off show planned Youngerthe focus of which was presumably Duff’s character Kelsey Peters. Creator Darren Star himself has dropped hints about the Duff-centric spin-off. Details about the possible spin-off were never entirely clear, including which provider or platform the show would be linked to. However, expectations were high for both viewers and many of the viewers Younger Actor that this spin-off would come about.

The hopes of both spectators and many others were high Younger Actor that this spin-off would come about.

Unfortunately, plans for this spin-off appear to have ultimately been foiled, although it has led to some interesting conversations recently. In 2023 Younger Actor Nico Tortorella, who played Josh on the series, hinted that there is a chance for one Younger revival in the future. Specifically, Tortorella said:

“I think there will most likely be another version of this story at some point. Whether it will be in the next five or ten years, who knows? I just can’t imagine that there won’t be a film at some point.”

Tortorella isn’t the only one Younger Performer who has expressed interest in it Younger Spin-off or revival in the form of a film. Hilary Duff wants to do one Younger film as well and explains in reference to a rumored spin-off show, “I think I would be more excited to do a film for Younger.”

With ideas still floating around over the past few years regarding a possible spin-off show or movie, this seems to be the future Younger can still be bright. Currently, no upcoming show, film, or other revival is officially confirmed, but it’s clear that many key cast members remain interested. TV Land’s 7-season hit show Younger intentionally came to an end with Season 7, but the story may not really be over yet.
