Hilary Duff To Star In Darren Star’s TV Land Pilot ‘Younger’
Hilary Duff is set to star opposite Sutton Foster in Younger, TV Land’s single-camera comedy pilot written and executive produced by Sex And the City creator Darren Star.
Based on the novel by Pamela Redmond Satran, Younger centers on Liza (Foster), a 40-something woman who reinvents herself and starts living a double life; one as a suburban mom and another as a 29-year old working girl in the city, after her husband leaves her and her child goes to college.
Duff will play Kelsey, a smart ambitious 20-something who welcomes Liza to the publishing firm, treats her as a contemporary and makes a concerted effort to integrate her into her social life, having no idea that Liza is a decade older.
Lizzie McGuire and Gossip Girl alumna Duff, repped by Gersh and Curtis Talent Management, recently appeared on Two And A Half Men and Raising Hope
Sis, you could have gotten a better picture than that, lol.
I mean, I think this could be handled really well, when Darren Star is on the money, he is on the money, he is a TV genius, so I am only looking at this is a good thing, I think it's good that she is focusing on music and TV.

Well, the good thing about TV Land is that it is a cable network and most of their shows do pretty well in the ratings, so they get a season two. Plus, we will have to see if TV Land actually picks up the show or not.
She's recorded an album's worth of songs so far, with the last one (that we know of) last Tuesday. With all the auditions and screen tests that go into these things, she likely has it all planned out to support the music.
