Description

In 21 Again, five mums aged 35-45 undergo an age-defying make-under to roll back the years, before attempting to seamlessly slot back into 20s life without being discovered. Armed with a new look, a new wardrobe and a crash course in Gen Z culture, the mums live in a brand new city with their daughters, who will challenge them to experience the highs, the lows and the daily struggles they face today. What does it mean to be 21 today and will walking a mile in their daughters' shoes ultimately bring these mums closer to their kids?

Episode 1

Jo and her daughter Devon go on a double date undercover as cousins, Salena braves it on a date with a bloke half her age, and Harjit and Kiran take part in a Gen Z singles night. But can the mums pass the test and convince their dates that they are 21-year-olds? And will the girls survive the embarrassment of dating with their mums? Will the maternal instinct take over when the subject turns to sexting, and will one mum's attempt to drink like one of the kids and speak their lingo give the game away? Can they get their mums to pull off being 21 again, and will the experiment bring them closer together?

Episode 2

Now into the second phase of the experiment, it's time to up the ante as the girls pack their mums off to work. What the girls do, or want to do, for a living has caused rifts in their relationships, so this week the girls want to set their mums straight. The girls turn the tables and challenge their mums to find out what the world of work is like for Gen Z. Harjit and Monera try out the glamorous life of a social media influencer at an online fashion brand audition. They've got to fake it as young Instagrammers and try to make it onto the brand's Insta feed, but Harjit's already out of her depth when she's asked to pick and style outfits. Monera, however, throws herself into the challenge, launching her own account and getting spotted online, while her daughter watches on in horror. From the dream job to the reality – Rachel's daughter, Taylor, packs her off to experience her own unpredictable lifestyle in the gig economy, working a zero-hours contracts. Much to mum's horror, she's packed off to a food delivery company and despite setting off believing it will be a doddle, her shift turns into chaos.
