Executive Vice President of TV Land’s Development and Original Programming Keith Cox made the announcement Wednesday at the Television Critics Association Press Tour.

Younger was a critical success and fan favorite right out of the gate, and Darren Star and his team of writers have brought an even sexier, shocking sophomore season to the table,” said Cox. “We’re thrilled with the show and what it’s done for the network, and we’re so confident in our viewers’ passion for it.
