Production Timeline and Filming Dates
The series Younger, created by Darren Star, began principal photography for its first season in mid-2016, with the pilot episode filming in New York City. The show's production schedule typically spanned several months per season, aligning with standard broadcast television timelines for multi-camera sitcoms shot on soundstages and on location in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Season 2 production commenced shortly after the first season's premiere, with filming for the six-episode order wrapping in late 2017. Subsequent seasons followed a similar pattern, with the final season, Season 7, entering production in 2021 and completing filming before the season's broadcast run, which concluded the series' six-year arc.
Filming Locations and Production Companies
Primary filming for Younger took place at Silvercup Studios in Queens, New York, with exterior shots capturing iconic New York City landmarks to ground the series in its urban setting. The production also utilized various on-location sites across Manhattan and Brooklyn to depict the protagonist's workplace, apartment, and social scenes.
The series was produced by Darren Star Productions and Jax Media, with distribution handled by Paramount Global Content Distribution. The show's production design meticulously recreated the atmosphere of a modern publishing house and the lifestyle of a forty-something writer navigating the industry.
