I didn’t have this on my Bingo 2021 card.
Remember How I Met your mother? Of course, yes – even if the beloved TV sitcom ended some time ago.

How I Met your mother ran on CBS from 2005 to 2014.
Well, the franchise is back – and if you think it’s shocking, take this: Hilary Duff is on board too.

The new show is called – wait for it – How I met your father, and comes to Hulu with Duff as leader. Captivating!
According to Variety, the show will revolve around “Sophie (Duff) tells her son the story of how she met her father: a story that catapults us back to 2021 when Sophie and her close group of friends are in in the middle of finding out who they are, what they want out of life and how to fall in love in the age of dating applications and unlimited options. “
Variety also reports that it is unclear at this time how – or if – the new show will be linked to the original universe.
You may not know this, but a kind of sequel How I Met your mother has been working for some time now. Greta Gerwig shot a pilot for How I met your father in 2014, which was finally not taken over in series.
That pilot was a lock, but then the test audience did not like Greta Gerwig as leader (!!!). I asked her about that experience in 2015 when “Mistress America” came out. https://t.co/gORZ5VY2ZQ

The announcement is the perfect time for Duff, from the last season of the year Younger it just started earlier this month.

However, there is no set date for the premiere How I met your father still, so we’ll have to wait and see how it turns out.
