YOUNGER Creator Darren Star Shares Season 2 Scoop!

[SPOILER ALERT!!] On last night's Season Finale of TV Land's YOUNGER, starring Tony Award winner Sutton Foster, Liza's boyfriend Josh was still reeling after finding out that his girlfriend was really a divorced, 40-year-old with an 18-year-old daughter. The final scene of the season offered promise that Josh may be able to get past Liza's DECEPTION, as the two meet up and vow to begin anew.

Today, The Hollywood Reporter spoke with series creator Darren Star to find out what's ahead in Season Two of the popular series.

On whether Josh and Liza's relationship has a future:

I think it's left rather open-ended and a bit ambiguous. They have to redefine who they are to each other and it's a whole new playing field. In a sense, it's redefines the show a bit.

On the role Liza's 18-year-old daughter Caitlin will play in Liza's deception:

Caitlin could be a big part of season two. Those are other questions we're playing with in the writers' room now. We're having a lot of similar discussions that the viewers probably are right now. Thematically, I think people may have thought this was a show about a woman who has to pretend she's in her 20s in order to get a job. And it is about ageism in a sense, but it's also about how age is a state of mind - and that you can access a younger self. And that's what this character does. She doesn't have a magic spell put on her; she's accessing something inside of her, a younger part of herself. That becomes harder to do when your teenage daughter is there.

On the possibility of a love triangle involving Imperical Publishing boss, Charles:

We're definitely going to keep that relationship alive. We don't ever want Liza to be cavalier about why she lies and why she needs to keep a lie alive and to whom she's keeping a secret. She's certainly not going to be out to everybody.

We want to do what feels organic. What's wonderful is the actors have great chemistry and we want to exploit that. A lot of the show is about what's important to Liza - getting this career that she didn't get a chance to really have - and how important is a career in terms of defining who she is and having a second chance at a career she left behind. That's important to this character, and the show is very much about that how fulfilling a working career can be.

On which character will be next to learn Liza's secret:

We do have a plan. I think it's an important secret. The secret is the premise of the show, certainly, but to me the show has always been about intergenerational friendship between women - and all people - and intergenerational romance. What defines age? What are the labels we put on people based on the numbers they are? That's what the show is about at its core and that's the bigger theme. That's what I like to keep my eye on in terms of what we think about age.

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.

Foster is an award-winning actor, singer and dancer who has performed in 10 Broadway shows and originated roles in the Broadway productions of The Drowsy Chaperone, Little Women, Young Frankenstein, Shrek the Musical, and her Tony Award-winning performances in Anything Goes and Thoroughly Modern Millie. She was first seen on television on "Star Search" at age 15, and has more recently appeared in "Bunheads" (TV Critics' Choice Award nomination for "Best Actress in a Comedy Series"), "Psych", "Flight of the Conchords", "Law and Order SVU", "Royal Pains", and "Sesame Street".
