Hilary Duff will lead the spinoff and sequel of How I Met Your Mother. Titled How I Met Your Father, the series will stream on Hulu.
HOW I MET YOUR FATHER HAS BEEN GREENLIT
The official synopsis of How I Met Your Father reads, “In the near future, Sophie (Duff) is telling her son the story of how she met his father: a story that catapults us back to the year 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.”
The makers of the sequel issued a statement which read, “Kids, I’m going to tell you an incredible story: It’s the story of how two writers got lucky enough to make their dream TV show for nine seasons and now get to pass the torch to an inspired new creative team with their own incredible story to tell, the story of How I Met Your Father. We are honored by their passion and vision, and look forward to helping them tell a legendary new story. (Thanks to all the HIMYM fans out there who waited for it.)”
HILARY DUFF IS EXCITED
Hilary Duff also talked about the series on Instagram. She said she has been incredibly lucky in her career for having had the chance to play some wonderful characters. She also said she is looking forward to the role of Sophie in How I Met Your Father as she is a huge fan of the original show.
“Isaac (Aptaker) and Elizabeth (Berger) are brilliant, and I can’t wait to work alongside them and all of their genius. Just fangirling over here getting to join the Hulu Originals and 20th families. I realize these are big shoes to fill and I’m excited to slip my 6½’s in there!” she said.
Well, we can’t wait for the sequel, can you?
