The spinoff series will tell a similar story to the one told inHow I Met Your Mother. Throughout its 9-season run, the comedy series followed Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) as he sat with his kids in the future and told a very long story of how he met their mother and a group of close friends. Now,How I Met Your Fatherwill use the same structure, but we are yet to discover if we can expect the new series to be as crazy in structure as the original show was.
At the same time, the announcement that original series directorPam Fryman, as well as former showrunnersCarter BaysandCraig Thomasare all returning as executive producers may indicate that we can expect flashbacks on top of flashbacks, flashforwards, alternate realities, and all the wacky running jokes that permeated the 208 episodes ofHow I Met Your Mother.
The new series will be written byIsaac AptakerandElizabeth Berger, both of whom worked together on NBC’sThis is Usand developedLove, Victorfor Hulu.How I Met Your Fatherdoesn’t have a release date yet.
All 9 seasons ofHow I Met Your Motherare available for streaming on Amazon Prime and Hulu.
