Shor, who played the formidable Diana Trout, was a featured presence at the 2025 Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF) for her film Magic Hour, in which she also starred.

Will There Ever Be a Younger Reunion or Spin-Off?

The final season of Younger left fans with a mix of satisfaction and open-ended questions, particularly about the fate of Kelsey Peters and the possibility of a spin-off focused on her career in Los Angeles. While the Kelsey-centric series never materialized, the door for a future reunion remains wide open.

Series creator Darren Star has repeatedly expressed his interest in revisiting the characters for a movie. "I would love to do a Younger movie, and I think the entire cast, at some point, would like to get back together for it," Star has stated.

The enthusiasm is shared by the actors themselves. Nico Tortorella is "totally down" for a revival, and the close bond among the cast suggests that scheduling is the main hurdle, not willingness. Given the current, high-profile career paths of Sutton Foster, Hilary Duff, and the rest of the ensemble, a reunion would be a major event.

The show's legacy, which explored themes of ageism, female friendship, and the evolving landscape of publishing, continues to resonate. The success of other TV revivals and the cast’s continued popularity make a Younger movie a strong possibility, perhaps focusing on a major crisis or milestone event at Empirical Publishing a few years down the line.

For now, fans can follow the individual successes of the cast members across Broadway, film, and music, knowing that the spirit of Liza, Kelsey, Josh, and the whole crew lives on through their vibrant and fresh 2025 projects.
