Hilary Duff to star in ‘How I Met Your Mother’ sequel series from Hulu

It’s finally time to hear another side of the story. Hulu announced Wednesday that they had given a 10-episode series order to How I Met Your Father, the long-awaited sequel series to How I Met Your Mother, and cast Hilary Duff (Younger) in the lead role.

The premise should sound familiar enough: Set in the near future, the show will follow Sophie (Duff) telling her son the story of how she met his father back in the year 2021, when Sophie and her close-knit group of friends were 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. 

How I Met Your Father is created by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger (This Is Us) but original How I Met Your Mother creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas will executive produce alongside them. The series will be produced by 20th Television, which also produced the original series under its previous name. Duff is a producer as well.
