Younger star Nico Tortorella gives an optimistic revival update, saying there’s more story to tell after the show’s open-ended conclusion.

Younger star Nico Tortorella provides a hopeful update about the possibility of a revival. Ending its run after seven seasons, which stretched from 2015 to 2021, Younger was a romantic dramedy that followed the life of Liza Miller (Sutton Foster). Based on the book of the same name by Pamela Redmond Satran and created by hit producer Darren Star (who also created shows such as Melrose Place and Sex and the City), the series begins with Liza devising a plan to pass herself off as two decades younger to avoid ageism in the publishing industry.

Speaking with People, Tortorella gave an optimistic update about the chances of a Younger revival. The actor, who played Josh in the dramedy, strikes a hopeful tone about the prospect and shares fond memories of their complete run on Younger. Tortorella also talks about how there's "more to the story" and even floats the possibility of a follow-up film. Read their comments below:

“I think that there most likely will be another version of that story at some point. Whether it’s in the next five years, 10 years, who knows? I just can’t imagine there won’t be a film at some point.”

“I think it was a bold move. I think it was the right move. I think that it’s not an ending. … I think there’s more to the story.”

“I love those guys. I spent almost a decade of my life with that cast. To be able to go back and just play make-believe in a summer camp in the city with all of them, yes.”

How Younger Should Return After A Cancelled Spinoff

There had been plans for a Younger spinoff, which would have focused on Kelsey (Hilary Duff), but after Younger concluded and the spinoff never officially announced, the LA-focused series was scrapped. Duff, instead, ended up being cast as the lead of Hulu's How I Met Your Mother spinoff How I Met Your Father. Since then, Duff has said she would have preferred a Younger movie rather than a series, which echoes what Tortorella is now saying about a follow-up film project.

Whereas, ultimately, Kelsey was headed for Los Angeles, the Younger finale left things open-ended but still hopeful for fan-favorite pairing Josh and Liza. At a time when it seems as though many reboots and revivals quietly fall short, debuting and exiting without an impact, it could be the case that a movie is a better way to check in with Josh, Liza, Kelsey, and others rather than a prolonged revival that needlessly drags on for several episodes.

For the moment, Darren Star is involved with Netflix's Emily in Paris. Duff is leading her show, while two-time Tony winner Foster will return to the stage next January. Tortorella also just finished a main role on the Apple TV+ miniseries City on Fire. Younger'scast and creatormay be busy for the moment, but it sounds like they'd want a revival in movie form.
