It was August of last year when the multi-camera comedy series "Young and Hungry" concluded its fourth installment. Since the series was already renewed for a fifth installment in March 2016, recent reports claim that the next season run will be bigger in terms of the number of episodes.

According to Variety, "Young and Hungry" Season 5 is going to have 20 episodes, which is 10 episodes longer compared to the first, third, and fourth season, excluding the second one as it also contained 20 episodes. The publication cited that the initial order was the standard 10 episodes; however, Freeform decided to order another 10 episodes for a total of 20 episodes for "Young and Hungry" Season 5. It was also said that the 20 episode season will be divided into two. The pilot episode of the first 10 will air first quarter of the year, while the remaining 10 episodes will air later this year.

On the other note, it can be remembered that the ending of the recent season showed that Josh (Jonathan Sadowski) and Gabi (Emily Osment) slept together. However, after doing their intimate scene, the two both decided to refrain from doing it again and just remain as friends. It was said that the decision was made due to the unexpected bumps the two encountered when they tried to work things out in terms of their intimate relationship, Deadline has learned.

Aside from that, the publication also noted details on what fans should expect from "Young and Hungry" Season 5. It was noted that the fifth season will show Gabi and Josh trying to do whatever it takes to keep their arrangement intact.
