If you\u2019ve been having Sharon Horgan withdrawal symptoms since finishing her brilliantly unconventional romantic comedy Catastrophe and hysterically dark Bad Sisters<\/a>, HBO has given us something to look forward to. The Motherland creator is returning to the small screen with a personal new divorce drama in the form of Youth.<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t much Sharon Horgan can\u2019t do, but she particularly excels at creating messy, funny and relatable family dramas and Youth is no exception. This time, she\u2019s bringing to life a newly divorced middle-aged woman (played by Sharon) who’s embarking on a sexual reawakening \u2013 but let’s just say she’ll come up against a fair few obstacles along the way. Boasting a stellar cast and Sharon’s creative magic, it’s set to be her best series since Bad Sisters.<\/p>\n

Intrigued? With the drama set to arrive on our screens later this year, here\u2019s everything you need to know about Youth, including the plot, cast and how to watch it.<\/p>\n

The upcoming drama is set to be a thrilling and entertaining tale of self-discovery. The series will follow a 50-year-old divorc\u00e9e (played by Sharon Horgan) who’s searching for love (and sex), while navigating caring for her elderly parents and her should-be grown-up son. It\u2019s classic Horgan territory. <\/p>\n

Joining Sharon Horgan on the cast list are: Sherwood\u2019s Sharlene Whyte, Amandaland\u2019s<\/a> Robbie Gee, Slow Horse\u2019s<\/a> Freddie Fox, Coronation Street\u2019s Anne Reid, Succession\u2019s Harriet Walter and Cillian Murphy\u2019s son, Aran Murphy. Amy Gravitt, the Executive Vice President, HBO & Max Comedy Programming, shares what makes Horgan\u2019s work so relatable.<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re thrilled to be reunited with Sharon. Her willingness to offer up her own experiences through the characters she creates makes us all feel a little less lonely, that is what sets her comedy apart so brilliantly,\u2019 she tells HBO. \u2018She also has such a sharp eye for material and a strong desire to shepherd other people\u2019s stories, we\u2019re looking forward to the new talent she will bring into the fold.\u2019<\/p>\n
