What How I Met Your Mother spin-off was released on Hulu in 2022?

The How I Met Your Mother spin-off released on Hulu in 2022 was How I Met Your Father.

How I Met Your Father premiered on Hulu on January 18, 2022, as a spin-off rather than a continuation of the original series. It stars Hilary Duff as Sophie, with Kim Cattrall portraying the older version of Sophie who narrates the story from 2050.

The series follows Sophie and her friends in Manhattan as she tries to determine which person she will eventually identify as her son’s father. Its structure echoes the original show’s framing device, but the central character and most of the ensemble are new. The cast includes Christopher Lowell, Francia Raisa, Suraj Sharma, Tom Ainsley, and Tien Tran.

The project followed several earlier attempts at a related spin-off, including the unaired 2014 pilot How I Met Your Dad. Hulu ordered How I Met Your Father directly to series in April 2021. It ran for two seasons and concluded in 2023, so it should not be confused with the earlier pilot or with the original How I Met Your Mother.
