Horgan’s 'Youth' Debuts on HBO, Blending Middle-Aged Romance with Literary World Satire

Sharon Horgan’s new HBO series, 'Youth,' premieres September 20, following a 50-year-old London literary agent navigating divorce, aging, and dating. The show blends sharp comedy with dramatic realism, exploring the specific anxieties of middle-aged womanhood through the lens of a character who feels an 'existential biological clock' ticking. Horgan paused her work on 'Bad Sisters' to develop this autobiographical project, which features a cast including Rupert Friend and Sharlene Whyte. The series is produced by Merman and directed by Dawn Shadforth, marking a return to HBO for Horgan after her work on 'Catastrophe' and 'Divorce.'
