Youth Renewed For Season 2 At HBO

"Youth" may not be eternal, but it'll definitely be around for a while longer. HBO has renewed Sharon Horgan's comedy for a second season, the network announced Monday.

The series follows Horgan's Alex, a 50-year-old divorced woman who tries to get her dating life back on track while also parenting her "should-be grown up" son.

"I'm so happy to get another opportunity to live out my emotional and biological crises on HBO," Horgan says in a statement. "I can't think of a better platform to air my UTI problems on. The response to 'Youth' has been beyond what I could have hoped for. I'm so grateful for the response and the chance to work with this incredible cast and creative team once more."

"In a way that only she can, Sharon has created a show that makes us howl with laughter and with tears — often in the same moment," adds Amy Gravitt, EVP of HBO Programming, and Head of HBO & HBO Max Comedy Series. "Each performance in YOUTH is more delightful than the next. Along with our partners at Merman, we are so thrilled to have this brilliant ensemble back for another season."

Along with Horgan, the eight-episode first season of "Youth" also starred Rupert Friend as Patrick, Sharlene Whyte as Sam, Aran Murphy as Ruari, and Ribbie Gee Frank. Casting information for Season 2 will be announced by HBO at a later date.

Horgan also executive-produces "Youth" alongside Faye Dorn, Jim Kleverweis, and director Dawn Shadforth.
