What could this mean for Sutton Foster's involvement in the forthcoming Music Man revival, whenever that may be?

Is this news? That was the plan all along, they signed the standard 7 season contract. I think they start filming this Fall and by April, they should be wrapped. Glad it's ending, they have nothing more to tell.

One of the articles says that they are in the process of filming/completing the sixth season and this seventh season (probably mid-to-late 2021 or early 2022) will be the last season...
"We are unofficially planning [Season 7] as a final season," creator Star said.
Production on season six, which was scheduled to commence pre-COVID, will re-start production "in a few weeks," according to Star.
"A lot of episodes were written" before the pandemic, Star said. Plus, "the action of Younger sort of picks up where the last season left off, which was before the pandemic. But I do think we're looking forward to incorporating it into the action as the season progresses."

The sixth season was filmed a year and a half ago, and concluded broadcasting a year ago. They will be filming the 7th and final season in a few weeks. BroadwayWorld coped it wrong, apparently. Yikes.
From the actual article on TV Line:
The TV Land series, which has been off the air since concluding its sixth season in Sept. 2019, was about to begin shooting its upcoming seventh season in New York City when COVID-19 hit. With production on the show now set to begin “in a few weeks,” Star is contemplating how to integrate the coronavirus crisis into the story — just don’t expect it to affect the characters at the onset of Season 7.

This makes sense. I love the show, but there's definitely not much more to do with the story or characters without jumping the shark. Interested to see how it will end.

Everybody get used to seeing this phrase a lot on your favorite entertainment chat boards and blogs for the next two to three years as people underestimate or just plain forget how thoroughly CO-VID disrupted everything in the world. Succession, likely to win the Emmy award for Best Drama next week, hasn’t had a new episode in a year and currently doesn’t even -hope- to begin shooting their next season early 2021.
There are a few niche cable or streaming series that had been off the air for more than a year and were just about to start shooting again when the pandemic broke out, and have no immediate plans to resume filming yet, that in some cases there’ll wind up having been a full two and a half years between seasons. (One can only hope it won’t have been a delay of two and a half years before, say, The Lehman Trilogy or the Company revival finally happen.)

Younger has been on every year, it would have aired this past Summer if not for Covid, so I wouldn't say they waited too long for anything. It will probably air next Spring or Summer.
They were never going to air the third season of Succession this summer, it had nothing to do with Covid.

Aw, that's bittersweet. A bit sad that it's ending but it's not like there's a lot they can do. Hope they manage to deliver a great finale.

Having been fully aware of the series since it made its debut, I just never cared to take a look... until 2 weeks ago. I binged all 6 seasons and caught up on Sunday and earlier today I got an offer to join the production staff for Season 7 so anyone who doubts karma or the Universe, is a moron. Have no idea what prompted me to just watch the pilot which led me to get sucked into it instantly. Had I not binged the series last week, I highly doubt I’d be considering this offer today. 2 weeks ago it was a series I had zero interest in. Now I know the journey of Liza, Josh, Kelsey, Diana, Charles, Maggie and even Lauren. Heck, I even know the buildings they use as exteriors in Williamsburg. We will see.

I still adore the cast but the writers have only gotten worse over time. Does anyone care about Charles' book? The completely illogical power structure at this publishing company? Kelsey is not a #girlboss. She consistently makes terrible, unprofessional choices. Why is Josh still on the show? Why do they give Diana so little to do?
But yeah, I'll suffer through the last season whenever I can binge the whole thing.

I never cared for the Charles and Liza relationship. I would have been happy if she would have stayed with Josh because the chemistry was so much better.

Also, Debi Mazar has stated countless times, this move to Italy was in its planning stages for years and they were already set to move to Italy months ago. COVID postponed it. They didn’t leave Brooklyn due to COVID. And yes, she will be back in NYC to film the final season of YOUNGER.
