Younger
Younger – P Is For Pancake (3×05)
Has anyone ever heard of the bad pancake theory? I hadn’t either but apparently it’s the idea that the guy you date after a relationship is like a burnt pancake. You have to use them and ditch them until you’re finally ready to make that perfect last pancake. Pretty sound right?
This week on Younger, Kelsey thought she found her perfect pancake on her online dating app, but the guy looked almost too good to be true. Turns out, he was. When she found out that he lived on Roosevelt Island, he went from the perfect pancake to the bad pancake stat. I’m not from NY so I didn’t understand what that meant but to Kelsey it meant it was time for a “tram slam,” which I guess is millenial for hit it and quit it. She waved goodbye from the tram but something tells me, we haven’t seen the last of Lucas.
Back at the office, Bryce goes a bye-bye after Charles finally snaps and has enough of his “distruptions.” Even I could tell that he isn’t fir for Empirical. While Bryce did add some funny moments to the show, his character seemed a little too over exaggerated. Sure, print books might not be the hottest thing anymore but the notion that they are dying and that you should rewrite classics for an app was a little too much for everyone, including me, a millenial. However he did have some good points, one of them being that Diana needs to loosen up. I felt so much better when she came strolling in in jeans.
With Bryce being gone – hopefully for good – the financial future of the company is questionable again. But regardless, Charles is happy with his decision and Liza commends him for standing up for what he believes in. Their encounter proves even more that she’s got deeply rooted feelings for him that she’s not willing to admit to.
I think Liza will be pushed even further towards Charles after witnessing Josh so curious about how pregnancy works. When he asked if she’d ever “catch a [baby] cold” again, she was definitely taken aback. I don’t think Josh realizes that she’s 40… and while I know 40-year-olds can have kids, Liza is clearly way passed that, especially since her only child is in college and she was finally able to get her life back. In fact the reason she’s been pretending to be 28 is to get her pre-child life back. Although isn’t it funny that a 40-year-old woman can do a job just as well, if not better, than a millenial and even adapt to their culture?
Do you think the children issue will be a dealbreaker for them? Josh always said he didn’t want kids but guys are always a little behind which means he could be getting comfortable with the idea now. Liza won’t want to hold him back and this could be their breaking point.
As for Maggie, she met a hot new woman that wasn’t her usual type but she felt a total connection. I love that Maggie can just be herself and pursue whoever she has an emotional and sexual vibe with. We’ll see how this progresses and if Lauren will be jealous, even though she’s dating a doctor now.
How do you think Empirical will function without Miller’s money? Will Josh and Liza break up? Will Liza finally admit her feelings for Charles cannot be ignored? Will Diana ever find the plumber again?
Younger is ready to turn the final page!
Ahead of the seventh and final season, Paramount+ released a lengthy two-minute trailer that gives fans a glimpse of how it all ends.
The clip opens with a flashback to Charles (Peter Hermann) asking Liza (Sutton Foster) to marry him during the season 6 finale.
But, of course, it’s unclear if Liza accepted the proposal as the next scene finds her ex, Josh (Nico Tortorella), and her friend, Lauren (Molly Kate Bernard), wondering if she said yes.
News of the possible engagement spreads fast as Liza’s bestie, Kelsey (Hilary Duff), informs her that she “just heard the news,” while her other bestie, Maggie (Debi Mazar), laments that she’s “impressed” with Charles.
However, Liza doesn’t seem to think the proposal was all that romantic, which leads me to believe that maybe the couple isn’t headed down the aisle anytime soon.
Especially because the rest of the trailer seems to show trouble in paradise!
And this time, it may not be Josh’s fault… though, one scene does show him asking Liza: “if I would have said something sooner, would it have made a difference?”
Liza’s always struggled to choose between Charles and Josh, however, there may be a new man taking up residence in Liza’s life: surf legend Kai Manning, who is shopping a book at Empirical/Millennial.
And while there’s a scene of Liza and Charles kissing underneath the fireworks, there’s also some tension as he informs her that he “had to bend a lot” to be with her.
Tension also builds as it looks like Quinn is moving in on Liza’s man and Charles may be entertaining the idea!
New relationships seem to be on the horizon as Josh is spotted with a new woman by his side as his baby momma, Claire, returns.
Maggie is also smitten with a woman named Camila.
And elsewhere, Kelsey contemplates her future asking Lauren if she should “go back to Millennial,” before informing Quinn of her decision, which the billionaire calls “running home to daddy.”
It’s the beginning of the end for Liza, Kelsey, and Empirical!
Paramount Plus announced that the seventh and final season of Younger will premiere on Thursday, April 15!
The first four episodes will be available for streaming on that day.
The final eight episodes will be released on a weekly basis every Thursday.
Those who don’t have access to Paramount Plus will be able to see the full season later in the year on TV Land.
It was also announced that Miriam Shor (the impeccable Diana Trout) and Charles Michael Davis (Zane Anders) will no longer be series regulars.
Per TV Line, the duo will be back in a recurring capacity.
“Due to scheduling and Covid related matters, Miriam Shor and Charles Michael Davis were unable to be season seven cast regulars,” series creator Darren Star said in a statement to the news outlet.
“However, they will always be a much loved and integral part of the Younger family and have added so much heart and soul to the series.”
Production for the final season was delayed significantly due to the coronavirus pandemic.

‘Younger’ Moving to Paramount+ for Seventh and Final Season – Watch the Emotional Sneak Peek
Younger has a new home.
After six seasons at TV Land, the hit TV show about Liza Miller, a middle-aged, divorced mom who lies about being twenty-something to restart her career in publishing, is moving to Paramount+.
ViacomCBS made the announcement during the streaming presentation on Wednesday.
Paramount+ is a new streaming service that will replace CBS All Access. on March 4.
The base tier will cost $5 and include ads. For ad-free streaming, the monthly price will set you back $10.
Now, that doesn’t seem like a lot, but if you’re an avid TV watcher, adding yet another streaming service to your monthly bundle might not be totally feasible.
Is ‘Younger’ Ending with Season 7? Hilary Duff Gives the Scoop
The good news is that the 12-episode final season will also air on TV Land. The catch? It will run delayed likely after the series wraps, which means you might not avoid spoilers.
Pick your battles, I guess.
The move, while annoying for some, isn’t completely out of the blue. The series was supposed to the Paramount Network for its sixth season but ultimately stayed at TV Land.
With such a dedicated fan-base and so much potential, it doesn’t seem like 12 20-minute episodes are going to provide a satisfactory conclusion. And I don’t think I’m ready for Liza to finally choose between #TeamJosh and #TeamCharles permanently.
The seventh season was initially delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the cast has been busy filming in New York as of late.
And that’s why fans were able to get a sneak peek at the upcoming season:
As Liza says, “embrace the past, accept the present, and keep moving forward.”
While it sure does seem like Liza picks Charles in the end, Sutton Foster promises that the final season will bring “all the emotional, all the laughs, and all the drama defined Younger and have made it the success it is.”
The series stars Foster, Hilary Duff, Nico Tortorella, Debi Mazar, Miriam Shor, Molly Bernard, Charles Michael Davis and Peter Hermann.
Back in March, it was announced that Duff would be getting a spinoff based on her character Kelsey Peters.
