HBO released a trailer for “Youth,” the upcoming comedy starring by Sharon Horgan, who also created the series and serves as executive producer. Per the official logline, “Youth” follows “a 50-year-old divorcee’s search for sex and love whilst juggling caring for her ailing parents and parenting her should-be grown up son.” Along with Horgan as Alex, the cast includes Rupert Friend, Sharlene Whyte, Aran Murphy and Robbie Gee. The trailer opens with a doctor diagnosing Alex with arthritis in her jaw.
So no more blowjobs for you!” Alex replies, “No more what for me?” Speaking to her friend Sam (Whyte), Alex says, “My son Ruari is off to university next month. I’m thinking of getting back out there. Just fun, lightly degrading sex.” “Mum,” says a horrified Ruari (Murphy), who is revealed to be standing right behind them.
Like, in the club?” Alex’s voice is heard saying over a clip of her dancing with a younger man. Narrating, she continues, “”When did it all stop being fun? in four years, I’ve not had a man in my bed. I need to meet someone now,” Alex continues, narrating.
Along with Horgan, executive producers include Merman’s Faye Dorn, Jim Kleverweis and Dawn Shadforth, who also directs. The series premieres with two episodes on Sept. 20, followed by new episodes weekly until Nov. 1.
