YOUNGER: SEASON 8 – THE NEXT CHAPTER (2026)

Starring: Sutton Foster • Hilary Duff • Debi Mazar
Comedy • Drama • Friendship

Five years have passed since Liza Miller’s (Sutton Foster) whirlwind journey through the publishing world, and now she’s found herself at the top as Editor-in-Chief of the once-glamorous Empirical Press. But in 2026, Liza faces a new, unprecedented challenge—AI is threatening the very foundation of storytelling. With algorithms replacing authentic voices and personal connections, Liza must fight to preserve the art of publishing in a world now obsessed with speed, numbers, and relevance.

When the board of Empirical chooses profits over creativity, Liza takes a bold step. She calls upon Kelsey Peters (Hilary Duff), who has transitioned into a powerful media mogul in L.A., to join forces in a battle to save traditional storytelling. Together, they embark on a mission to prove that the heart of publishing isn’t just in the data—it’s in the connection between people and the stories they share.

Meanwhile, Maggie (Debi Mazar), Liza’s fierce and unapologetic friend, finds herself unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight as a Gen-Z queer icon. But her newfound fame isn’t without its challenges—she becomes a target for cancel culture, a sharp contrast to her artistic freedom and the life she’s tried to live outside the constraints of mainstream trends.

Old flames reignite, new secrets surface, and the lines between personal and professional get even more tangled. As Liza, Kelsey, and Maggie navigate their own evolving lives, they must face a harsh truth: youth isn’t defined by age anymore—it’s about staying true to yourself, no matter how much the world around you changes.

Younger: Season 8 – The Next Chapter is a sharp, stylish, and heartfelt continuation of the beloved series that has always championed friendship, ambition, and personal growth. As the world races toward the future, these women show us that some things—like the power of real human connections and the strength to stand up for what you believe in—are timeless.

Friendship outlasts trends. In this next chapter, Liza and her tribe prove that the essence of who you are—your heart, your story, your truth—cannot be replaced by algorithms.
