(upbeat music)
- We're back.
- It's been a minute, huh?
- Hi everybody. - Hi y'all!
- This is the first table read
of season seven, the final season.
- Here we go, season seven!
- Lucky seven!
- I am so excited to be back with my "Younger" family.
- I'm a little nervous
- Doing this first table read of what may
be our last season is very bittersweet.
It's been an amazing group of actors, writers.
We all like each other very much.
And I'm really looking forward to seeing everybody.
Doing the Zoom table read is a new experience for me.
- I'll show you my setup.
This is not how table reads normally are.
- I'm so excited to see everybody.
- There's a little bit of that back to school feeling
- Welcome to this very strange
first table read of the season for "Younger".
So great to see everybody's face.
- I personally feel just so excited
that we're still completing the last season of the show.
- I have no idea where it's all going.
I live for the surprise of coming to work and going like
oh my God, like, this is how it ends.
- I think we left season six on such a cliffhanger.
- Liza Miller, will you marry me?
- Oh my God, Charles.
There's still so many complications and so many questions.
- I think the characters are all going
on a really emotional journey, a lot of surprises.
I feel like all of our characters
grow as the season progresses.
(cheering)
- I am looking forward to Kelsey's journey.
I think she's still struggling a lot
with her workplace identity and her future,
and really second guessing the choices that she's made.
- Here, open one.
It's what I do when I'm at a crossroads.
- This one's empty.
- That means you make your own fortune,
or you don't have long to live, I can't remember which.
Either way, you'll find out soon enough.
- I hope Josh finds someone,
whether it's Liza or not,
that like truly loves Josh for who he is.
Josh is like catered to a lot of
other people's desires and needs.
So yeah, if a relationship is
in the card for Josh, I'm here for that.
- I know you never really liked him.
- That's not true, I do like him for you.
It gives me a lot of joy to know
that you are happy, you deserve that.
- Josh, you are so special to me.
I always want you in my life, please promise that.
- We know who we are to each other.
- Our characters have come into their own,
they're growing up and I think they're just
all entering sort of new phases of their life.
- I have no idea what will happen for Lauren this season,
but I hope she just soars.
I kind of want her to find her
footing in a stronger way, I think it's her time.
- Mommy, I can't think about a party,
I'm under a lot of pressure right now.
- Honey, Lauren, you only turn 30 once,
and we still don't have a theme.
- So maybe instead of a party,
we can make it a funeral for my 20s.
- What are you doing?
Like you're putting that on too thick.
- Whoa, why are you dressed like a drag queen?
- Excuse me?
- The writers always give us a great adventure.
We get answers pretty fast, and then it's like we're off
and running, in true "Younger" fashion.
- I feel really lucky to be a part
of something that can bring some laughter and some romance.
These characters are dynamic
and multi-dimensional, and well-rounded.
- We've been playing by these characters for so long.
It's really tough to say goodbye to them, but we want to
give all of our characters a really satisfactory ending.
- I'm really looking forward to
seeing how they end the show.
- It's gonna be a roller coaster.
- Did you know about that? - Absolutely not.
(screaming)
- Everything that we've worked for, it's gone.
- We end the episode.
(applause)
- That was good.
- Oh my god, you guys got me choked up just on Zoom!
