Sharon Horgan is back on TV with HBO‘s latest comedy Youth, but is this debut just the beginning of a long TV life? As the story unfolds, we can’t help but want to stay in this world Horgan has crafted, and we’re taking a closer look at what we know about Youth‘s future so far.

Below, learn more about the series and stay tuned for updates on the possibility of a Season 2 return.

Has Youth been renewed for Season 2?

Youth hasn’t been renewed for Season 2 yet, but considering Horgan’s past works, we’re hopeful there’s a multi-season plan like her past titles, including Catastrophe and Bad Sisters. Regardless of plans, though, a renewal is dependent upon HBO. Keep an eye out for any news as episodes unfold this season.

Who would star in Youth Season 2?

Without knowing how Season 1 ends, it’s difficult to know who would star in Season 2 of Youth, but for now, the comedy’s ensemble includes Sharon Horgan as Alex, Aran Murphy as Ruari, Rupert Friend as Patrick, Sharlene Whyte as Sam, and Robbie Gee as Frank, among others.

What would Youth Season 2 be about?

Currently, the series follows Alex, who works as a book agent alongside friend and boss Sam. While Alex is heading into the next phase of her life with her son Ruari graduating high school and going off to university, the empty-nester label only lasts so long until he returns home with plans to drop out of school. At the same time, Alex is dabbling in dating after years of being divorced and living single. How will it play out as Season 1 continues? Only time will tell, but we’re hopeful there’s room for plenty of stories if Youth is renewed for Season 2.
