‘How I Met Your Mother’ gets a sequel starring Hilary Duff

After her ‘Lizzie Mcguire’ sequel fizzled out, Hilary Duff is revisiting another nostalgic title after being cast as the lead in the ‘How I Met Your Mother’ follow-up, per Variety.

Titled ‘How I Met Your Father’, Duff plays as Sophie, who recounts to her son in the near future how, you guessed it, she met her eventual husband. The synopsis reads:

‘The story takes place in 2021, where Sophie and her close-knit group of friends are in the midst of figuring out who they are, what they want out of life, and how to fall in love in the age of dating apps and limitless options.’

It’s currently unknown how the new series will tie into the original, but OG series creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas are on board as executive producers. The show will be helmed by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, who has worked on the dramas ‘This is Us’ and ‘Love, Victor’.

This isn’t the first time that a series for How I Met Your Father was explored. Immediately after HIMYM’s conclusion in 2014, a pilot episode for a sequel starring Greta Gerwig was ordered, but failed to get picked up.

Two more failed attempts in the next four years would ensue before the follow-up got greenlit in 2021. How I Met Your Father will consist of 10 episodes and will air on streaming service Hulu.
