Eager to know whether the romance-drama series Younger, which ran for seven seasons, has been canceled? We have all the details. The series centered around Liza (Sutton Foster), a single mother who lies about her age to get her desired job. Along the way, she also tries to reboot her love life while navigating challenges at the workplace. With this engaging premise ending with Season 7, many are intrigued to know why.
So, here are all the details.
Was Younger Season 8 canceled or did the show end naturally with Season 7?
Younger Season 7 ended naturally and wasn’t canceled. Showrunner Darren Star pre-planned it as the final installment of the long-running show.
Younger Season 7 officially concluded all character stories while resolving all loose ties throughout the plot. In the finale, Liza chooses not to move forward with her on-and-off romantic relationship with Charles. She decides to focus on her career, ultimately moving up the corporate ladder by the show’s end— becoming publishing assistant to the editor-in-chief at Empirical.
Meanwhile, Kelsey decides to look for investors to begin her publishing hub. Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine puts forward a great offer, setting Kelsey’s new chapter in the West. This conclusion puts both characters back on their career track, putting their love life in the backseat for some time.
Creator Star had already planned to designate Season 7 as the final installment. Therefore, the series never got renewed for Season 8. She felt it was the right time to naturally bring the season to a close as the characters reached their desired destinations.
This decision made sense for the long-running plot and the creator and cast, who were embarking on newer projects at that time. During that time, Star was engrossed with the Emily in Paris release, which became a massive Netflix hit in the coming years. Moreover, Hilary Duff, who played Kelsey, signed for How I Met Your Father.
