The second season of Younger has recently started it’s second season. The series premiered in February 2015. The concept introduces a 40-year-old woman, Liza Miller, going back to the workplace by pretending she is a 26-year-old entering the marketing world. This results in humorous experience and lots of fascinating relationships.
Younger‘s critically-acclaimed first season left everyone wondering what’s next for Liza. Even if boyfriend Josh can handle the truth about her age, can he handle being in on the secret? With the stakes getting higher as work-BFF Kelsey climbs the corporate ladder, can Liza ever come clean to her? And how long can Liza and her boss Charles ignore the obvious chemistry between them?
