As Younger tackles the #MeToo movement, Sutton Foster praises her TV Land series for being ahead of its time

Tuesday's Season 5 premiere focuses on sexual harassment in the workplace by an author modeled on Game of Thrones' George R.R. Martin. “One of the greatest gifts that the show has had is the time,” says Foster. “That’s what Darren Star is so phenomenal about. He just has his finger on the pulse of culture and what’s going on. To be on a show that’s so female forward and then tackle the #MeToo movement has been so gratifying.” Foster adds: "I remember some of the early things that were written about the show were like, ‘Oh this crazy premise! Maybe some of the things we’re doing now that are based in reality would have been crazy five years ago.”
