“Younger,” Tv Land's Critically Acclaimed and Buzzworthy Series “YOUNGER,” TV LAND’S CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED AND BUZZWORTHY SERIES FROM DARREN STAR, GETS SEASON TWO PICK-UP New York, NY – April 21, 2015 – Critics and fans alike are buzzing about “Younger,” and TV Land has been listening! The network announced today that its critically acclaimed original series, “Younger,” starring Sutton Foster, Hilary Duff, Debi Mazar, Miriam Shor and Nico Tortorella, has been picked up for a 12-episode second season. The series, which is executive produced and created for television by Emmy® Award-winning writer/producer Darren Star, is now in its first season on TV Land, airing Tuesdays at 10pm ET/PT. All episodes can currently be watched for free on Hulu and TVLand.com. “‘Younger’ is the first step in TV Land’s evolution, and we are very proud to announce a second season," said Keith Cox, Executive Vice President of Development and Original Programming for TV Land. "We’re thrilled to continue working with Darren, and really eager to see where he takes this story and our amazing cast next.” "We couldn't be more excited that audiences are discovering ‘Younger’ and falling in -more- Page 2- “ ‘Younger,’ TV Land’s Critically Acclaimed And Buzzworthy Series From Darren Star, Gets Season Two Pick-Up” love with our fabulous cast,” added Darren Star. “I can't wait to have everyone back in New York to shoot season two." In addition to universal praise, other highlights for “Younger” include: To date, “Younger” has been viewed by 20 million people across multiple networks and multiple platforms, including TV Land, Nick at Nite, Hulu, VOD and TVLand.com. A “Certified Fresh” 96% rating on RottenTomatoes.com. Growing legions of fans on social media, including a +70% increase of likes on Facebook and a +63% increase of followers on Instagram. “Younger” follows Liza (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 (Shor), Liza has to figure out how to balance her real life with bestie Maggie (Mazar), and her “pretend” life with new friend and coworker Kelsey (Duff)…all while embarking on an exciting and somewhat confusing relationship with sexy tattoo artist Josh (Tortorella). The first season, shot in Brooklyn and New York City, will see guest stars including Jane Krakowski (“30 Rock”), Ana Gasteyer (“Saturday Night Live”), Emmy® Award winner Martha Plimpton (“Raising Hope”), Peter Hermann (“Law & Order: SVU”) and Kathy Najimy (“Sister Act”). The season finale is scheduled to air Tuesday, June 9th at 10pm ET/PT on TV Land.

  • Cast Biographies RILEY KEOUGH (Christine Reade) PAUL SPARKS
    Cast Biographies RILEY KEOUGH (Christine Reade) Riley Keough, 26, is one of Hollywood’s rising stars. At the age of 12, she appeared in her first campaign for Tommy Hilfiger and at the age of 15 she ignited a media firestorm when she walked the runway for Christian Dior. From a young age, Riley wanted to explore her talents within the film industry, and by the age of 19 she dedicated herself to developing her acting craft for the camera. In 2010, she made her big-screen debut as Marie Currie in The Runaways starring opposite Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. People took notice; shortly thereafter, she starred alongside Orlando Bloom in The Good Doctor, directed by Lance Daly. Riley’s memorable work in the film, which premiered at the Tribeca film festival in 2010, earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress at the Milan International Film Festival in 2012. Riley’s talents landed her a title-lead as Jack in Bradley Rust Gray’s werewolf flick Jack and Diane. She also appeared alongside Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey in Magic Mike, directed by Steven Soderbergh, which grossed nearly $167 million worldwide. Further in 2011, she completed work on director Nick Cassavetes’ film Yellow, starring alongside Sienna Miller, Melanie Griffith and Ray Liota, as well as the Xan Cassavetes film Kiss of the Damned. As her camera talent evolves alongside her creative growth, so do the roles she is meant to play. Recently, she was the lead in the highly-anticipated fourth installment of director George Miller’s cult- classic Mad Max - Mad Max: Fury Road alongside a distinguished cast comprising of Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Zoe Kravitz and Nick Hoult.

The set design for the 88th annual production, For the Record, called for a massive 11-foot-diameter rotating globe suspended above the stage and wrapped in the masthead of the show’s fictional newspaper, the Chicago Offering. Northwestern’s set, scenery, and paint shops are located in the Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts, but Waa-Mu is performed in Cahn Auditorium. How to pull off such a planetary transplant? By deflating Earth. The globe began as a plain white (albeit custom-built) inflatable balloon, but after its initial multisection muslin wrap was created (to determine shrinkage), it was deflated, rigged, reinflated, motorized, map-designed, taped for a paint mask, primed, painted, and unpeeled to reveal computer-generated, to-scale continents.

  • By Jennifer M. Fogel a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

  • Initiating a Conversation About Ageism
    INITIATING A CONVERSATION ABOUT INTRODUCTION What is ageism, and why is it an important issue? Ageism is present in the way we think, feel and act towards others and ourselves according to age, whether we are conscious of it or not. It is everywhere, in our institutions, relationships and ourselves. Different cultures have different attitudes towards age and ageing, but none is free of age bias. We know today that half the world’s population is ageist towards older people and, in Europe, ageism is more prevalent against younger people than other age groups. Ageism harms us individually and collectively, affecting our health and well- being and costing society billions of dollars. Fortunately, ageism can be combatted, but collective action is needed to raise awareness and address this issue. Why have conversations about ageism? Dialogue is a powerful way to engage in things that matter to us. Continued, open conversations can help us acknowledge the myths and stereotypes that we have all internalized during a lifetime, recognize ageism when we encounter it and understand that ending discrimination requires collective action. Challenging assumptions and attitudes is the first step for thriving at any age and for communities to tap the potential of all its members. Conversations also encourage the kinds of personal and political transformations that are necessary to create a world for all ages. What is the goal of this guide, and who is it for? Conversations are like drops of water. Just as one drop of water can create countless ripples, one conversation can have countless effects on those involved and their networks.
