TV Land announced that its buzzworthy and critically-acclaimed series Younger will return Tuesday, January 12 at 10pm ET/PT with double the romance, drama and excitement, airing two back-to-back episodes for a one-hour season opener. Immediately following will be the premiere of the network's bold new comedy Teachers at 11pm from Chicago-based improv group The Katydids and executive producers Alison Brie (Community), Jay Martel and Ian Roberts (Key and Peele). Teachers will regularly air on Tuesdays at 10:30pm ET/PT, right after new episodes of Younger beginning Jan. 19. Younger, now shooting at the renowned Silvercup Studios in Long Island City, follows Liza (two-time Tony® winner Sutton Foster), a 40-year old woman who pretends to be 26 in order to get a job in the highly competitive world of publishing – and succeeds. Now working under the prickly Diana (Miriam Shor), Liza has to figure out how to balance her real life with bestie Maggie (Debi Mazar), and her "pretend" life with her new crew – friend/coworker Kelsey (Hilary Duff), fashion publicist Lauren (Molly Bernard) and the always-sketchy Thad (Dan Amboyer), Kelsey's boyfriend. After Liza let her secret slip to sexy young tattoo artist Josh (Nico Tortorella) at the end of the first season, she now must try to salvage their relationship, all while navigating a confusing chemistry with her boss Charles (Peter Hermann) and dealing with her daughter Caitlin's (Tessa Albertson) return from studying abroad. The series is written and executive produced by entertainment icon Darren Star.
