“How I Met Your Father”, A HIMYM Spinoff Is Actually Happening With Hilary Duff
The long awaited How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM) spinoff is finally confirmed to be made under Hulu! The series will be named “How I Met Your Father”, which will star our childhood favourite Lizzie McGuire star, Hilary Duff! I can’t wait to jump back into the HIMYM train!
HIMYM ran successfully for a decade, but with its complicated ending, many fans were left disappointed. Hoping to reignite fans’ interest in the series, Hulu ordered the spinoff to be made. How I Met Your Father will be a 10 episode series starring Hilary Duff as Sophie, who is one of the close friends looking for love in the age of dating apps.
On a side note, Duff will also be producing the series along with co-creators, Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger (This Is Us). Carter Bays and Craig Thomas will serve as executive producers for the spinoff, as they were the original creators of HIMYM.
We still don’t have much information about the 10 episode series, but hopefully they try to tie it closer to the original minus the insensitive humour and problematic jokes that were played off during the time HIMYM was released.
Are you excited to see a comeback for HIMYM’s spinoff?
