How I Met Your Father, a spinoff to the long-running CBS comedy How I Met Your Mother, is finally set to make it to air. Hulu has given the project, which will star Hilary Duff, straight-to-series order from creators Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger.
It is a long road to air for the project. Back in 2014, HIMYM creators Craig Thomas & Carter Bays and Emily Spivey wrote a pilot for CBS that starred Greta Gerwig and Drew Tarver but it wasn’t picked up.
How I Met Your Mother ran from 2005 to 2014, follows the main character, Ted Mosby, and his group of friends in New York City’s Manhattan. As a framing device, Ted, in the year 2030, recounts to his son, Luke, and daughter, Penny, the events from 2005 to 2013 that led him to meet their mother.
