Younger follows Foster’s character, Liza. After her husband leaves and her daughter heads to college, the 40-something mother tries to reinvent her life, despite the fact that she can’t abandon her old one. In one life, she’s a suburban mother who still celebrates her real birthday. In the other, Liza finds herself working for a publishing house, claiming she’s only 29 years old and trying to shake off Kelsey. Kelsey (Duff), meanwhile, is a young, driven co-worker who quickly welcomes Liza into the firm and her life. Not knowing Liza’s truth, Kelsey continues to try to bring Liza into the office mix and into her own social life.
Will Liza ever give up the ghost and tell Kelsey how old she really is? And what happens when the truth comes out? Can someone who has played the housewife for nearly two decades still swim with the big fish? We might find out if Younger makes it past pilot season.
