The response to Youth has been beyond what I could have hoped for. I’m so grateful for the response and the chance to work with this incredible cast and creative team once more.”
Added Amy Gravitt, EVP, HBO Programming, Head of HBO & HBO Max Comedy Series, “In a way that only she can, Sharon has created a show that makes us howl with laughter and with tears — often in the same moment.
