Emily Osment To Star in 'Young & Hungry' on ABC Family

ABC Family is continuing to branch out and expand their successful comedy programming lineup. The network has announced two new original comedy series to premiere in 2014 including Mystery Girls and Young & Hungry.

Former Disney Channel and Hannah Montana star Emily Osment is set to star in the new ABC Family series Young & Hungry as a feisty young food blogger

In “Young & Hungry,” two worlds collide when Josh (Sadowski), a wealthy young tech entrepreneur, meets Gabi (Osment), a feisty young food blogger, looking to be his personal chef. Gabi is desperate for the job and must prove herself, mostly to Josh’s aide (Lee), who prefers a famous chef for the job. When Josh enlists Gabi to prepare a romantic meal for him and his girlfriend, the dinner goes awry and Gabi finds herself in a very awkward position. With the help of her best friend Sofia (Carrero) and Josh’s housekeeper (Whitley), Gabi turns a difficult situation into an opportunity for employment and maybe even love.

The series will be executive produced by Ashley Tisdale and will feature a great cast of stars. Jonathan Sadowski (“$#*! My Dad Says”), Rex Lee (“Entourage”), Aimee Carrero (“Blue Lagoon: The Awakening”) and Kym Whitley (“Animal Practice”) are set to star. Annie Potts (“GCB,” “Designing Women”) will be a recurring guest star.

Production on the series is set to begin early this year. Emily Osment previously starred in the ABC Family movie Cyberbully.
