The news comes in the middle of its record-breaking sixth season, currently airing Wednesdays at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.

Younger's sixth season debuted on June 12 and recorded its highest-rated season premiere ever in the key P25-54 and W25-54 demos. It was also up +23% among total viewers, with 1.3 million tuning in to the season six premiere. The series remains the top sitcom in cable for the third year in a row among W25-54 and W18-49.

The series continues to be a media favorite: Entertainment Weekly said "Proving that not everything slows down in old age, Younger is back for its sixth season with even more drama and wit;" TV Guide noted "Younger just gets better with age;" and Entertainment Tonight remarked "Younger remains one of summer's can't-miss shows."

Younger is created by Darren Star and stars two-time Tony® winner Sutton Foster with Hilary Duff, Debi Mazar, Miriam Shor, Nico Tortorella, Peter Hermann, Molly Bernard and Charles Michael Davis. The series' passionate fan base has helped the series expand off the TV screen to include the five-star reviewed weekly podcast, Younger Uncovered, a weekly after-show entitled Getting Younger, and the launch of two books from Simon and Schuster entitled, Marriage Vacation andThe Miseducation of Henry Cane.
