TVLand’s critically acclaimed series “Younger” from the creator of “Sex and the City” Darren Star, ended its second season back in March. The finale gave fans all the feels when the love life of main character Liza, played by Sutton Foster, became even more complicated.
Let’s recap first. It was the aftermath of Thad’s unexpected death, and of course, Kelsey (Hilary Duff) was filled with mixed emotions at the funeral. Liza admitted that she knew Thad was cheating on her and understandably Kelsey was angry and frustrated. With their friendship at a crossroads, Liza decided to give Kelsey her space and chose to quit Empirical Publishing. By the end of the finale, Liza, along with her fellow friends and co-workers, realized that leaving Empirical was not the answer. While working at a retail store, Liza was suddenly approached by her boss Charles who convinced her to come back and he finally kissed her!
Yes, take it all in. But what does this mean for Charles and Liza in season 3?
Now, wait a moment–we must not forget that Liza and Josh are back together! In the finale, Liza was filled with grief from Thad’s funeral. Surprisingly, Liza and her ex Josh wound up in bed together to "ease the pain" of Thad’s death. Meanwhile, Josh was still with his younger girlfriend Greta. In the end of the episode, however, Josh came running back to Liza, exclaiming how much he misses her and gave her a big kiss.
And this leaves us with many questions. The first question being are you #TeamCharles or #TeamJosh?
With the premiere of season 3 approaching, a lot of things are up in the air. Liza has come back to Empirical and we can assume that she will be repairing her friendship with Kelsey. Of course, with Liza’s secret closer to being discovered, we have to wonder-- will Liza finally tell Kelsey the truth? Or will Kelsey find out for herself and put Liza’s career on the line?
Here’s the trailer for the new season:Based on the trailer, we can clearly see that Liza is torn between her young on-and-off boyfriend Josh and her age-appropriate boss Charles. Though she arguably loves Josh, she connects with Charles on an intellectual level. He is closer to her age-wise and he's also divorced with kids, the same boat as Liza. They bond over their love for literature and he's more mature.
Josh, on the other hand, is a young guy who's still figuring out what he wants in his life. He's immature and unreliable, and although he eventually accepts her secret, Josh still can't fully be with Liza because she's living a double-life. However, he does help her re-live the part of her life that she missed out on and helps her have fun again. She is able to embrace her 20s while balancing her life as a 40-year-old mom.
And yet, in the trailer, it seems that Liza is leaning more towards giving Charles a chance. I guess we'll have to wait and see! It also shows that Kelsey and Diana (whom Liza works under) are closer to finding out Liza's secret. The discovery of her secret definitely will put her career in jeopardy. Liza is evidently worried and wants to focus more on her career and not on her romantic life. But clearly, the two hunks are getting in the way!
So set your DVR and grab a glass of wine and/or a bowl of popcorn! Season 3 premieres this Wednesday, September 28th on TVLand!
