TV Land’s flagship series "Younger" will be moving to sibling Paramount Network for its upcoming sixth season.

"Younger" was renewed for a sixth season by its original network, TV Land, in June. It is the latest — and highest profile — TV Land original series to make the transition to Paramount Network, relaunched earlier this year as Viacom’s leading scripted brand.

It follows "American Woman" as well as "Heathers" and "Nobodies", which have since been canceled.





"Younger" established TV Land as destination for single-camera comedy series and has consistently grown its ratings season after season.

With its departure, "Teachers", which currently airs its third season, remains the only original scripted series on TV Land, which was branded as a reinforcing brand in Viacom’s 2017 restructuring that identified six flagship brands, including Paramount Network, that were earmarked to get the lion share of financial resources.

"Younger" heads to Paramount Network having just logged its highest-rated season to date among P 18-49 in L+SD.





Overseeing programming for both Paramount Network and TV Land is Keith Cox.

“With Darren’s proven history as a hitmaker and Tracy Oliver’s fresh voice and perspective, we see a tremendous opportunity to build Thursday nights as destination viewing for fun female-driven dramedies,” said Cox, President of Development and Original Programming for Paramount Network, TV Land and CMT.

“Younger is a huge hit with a passionate fanbase that’s the perfect centerpiece to this line-up.”



Added Star, “I am thrilled to be continuing my journey with Younger and now Emily in Paris on the Paramount Network. Keith and his entire team inspire me with their passion and enthusiasm.”

"Younger" just dropped the first big twist of its upcoming sixth season: Despite previously announced plans to relocate the comedy to Paramount Network, it will instead remain at TV Land, our sister site Deadline reports.

Production has already begun on Season 6, which is expected to premiere sometime this year.

How shocking TV Land not keeping there promise to no longer air there lousy original programs.

I can see the back to our roots thing is being tossed out the window now. I don't even watch TV Land anymore really to begin with. Except some Golden Girls on the weekends.

This is just another example of Viacom and its channels being an epic fail. Clearly things aren't going to get any better in TV Land anytime soon. I wonder if Younger will announce season 6 as its last because of this?
