Younger marked TV Land’s first single-camera comedy and represents the cable network’s reinvention as a home to younger-skewing fare vs. the multicamera stable of programming that helped the network enter the original scripted landscape.

The cabler will next launch Teachers, based on the web series, on Jan. 12 following the return of Younger. Also in the pipeline at TV Land is Lopez, a single-camera comedy starring George Lopez.
On the pilot side, TV Land has Melissa McCarthy-produced entry Nobodies, which received a formal order Wednesday, as well as I Shudder, Throwing Shade and its John Wells/Kyle Richards entry.
