Hilary Duff to Join Sutton Foster in TV Land Pilot from SEX AND THE CITY Creator

Hilary Duff is teaming up with Broadway vet Sutton Foster for her return to the small screen.

According to Deadline, the former LIZZIE MCGUIRE star has signed on for SEX AND THE CITY creator Darren Star's upcoming TV Land pilot YOUNGER.

The project, based upon Pamela Redmond Satran's novel, follows "Liza (Foster), a 40-something woman who reinvents herself and starts living a double life; one as a suburban mom and another as a 29-year old working girl in the city, after her husband leaves her and her child goes to college. Duff will play Kelsey, a smart ambitious 20-something who welcomes Liza to the publishing firm, treats her as a contemporary and makes a concerted effort to integrate her into her social life, having no idea that Liza is a decade older."

Duff is best known for the title role of Disney Channel's teen comedy Lizzie McGuire. The actress reprised the role in The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003) and ventured into motion pictures with her early films Agent Cody Banks (2003), Cheaper by the Dozen (2003), A Cinderella Story (2004) and Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005).
