How I Met Your Father

The spin-off based on 'How I Met Your Mother' airs on Disney+ today and it has the potential to be better than the original. Kim Cattrall's older version of ...

There's a romantic scene on the balcony with 'Sophie' and Josh Peck's character 'Drew'. The bar is the hearth of the show. The show is worthy of standalone status and doesn't lean on 'How I Met Your Mother', but we do appreciate the nods to it's sister show. It could even trump the original, but it just needs to not try so hard. As for our star of the show? The more the series goes on, the more adult-Lizzie fashion we get. This show is so jam-packed with one-liners that it feels self-conscious and bumpy.

If the title owes something to the original, then so does the premise for the new show. This time, however, it's Sophie (Hilary Duff) telling her son the story ...

And while her narration is in the near future, the events take place in 2021, where Sophie and her group of friends are in the middle of trying to work out who they are, what they want from life and how they can find love in a world of dating apps and what seems like limitless options. Arriving on the same channel from 11 May is How I Met Your Father. It’s eight years since the much-loved How I Met Your Mother drew to a close – although diehard fans can still binge all nine seasons on Disney+ – and now it gets a spinoff.

Disney+'s How I Met Your Mother spin-off is charming, despite its outdated sitcom tropes.

The zingers are often gag-inducing and none of the characters remotely plausible. By the end of the first episode I’d been whisked back to an era where “filmed before a live studio audience” was a mark of quality and Two And a Half Men confirmed Charlie Sheen as God among mortals. Duff – former teen star of Lizzie McGuire – will never be mistaken for a potential Oscar winner.

They work quickly to establish Christopher Lowell (Jesse), Suraj Sharam (Sid), Francia Raisa (Valentina) and Tien Tran (Ellen), who each benefit from their own ...

Hilary Duff leads the cast of the sitcom, playing hopeless romantic Sophie who is looking to find the love of her life amid the chaos of 2022's New York City.

Is there a How I Met Your Father season 2 trailer? Hilary Duff will definitely be back to front the second season of How I Met Your Father, with the former Lizzie McGuire star also serving as executive producer on this show. Hulu are yet to confirm a release date for How I Met Your Father season 2, but we can make an educated guess based on the timeline of the initial episodes. As the series makes its long-awaited debut on Disney Plus in the UK, we have the lowdown on the confirmed How I Met Your Father season 2 – but be warned, there are spoilers ahead. It's official: How I Met Your Father is returning for a second season and it will have twice as many episodes as the first, much to the delight of fans. The show is a sequel to mid-noughties hit How I Met Your Mother, sharing the same friendly group dynamic as well as a handful of surprise cameos.

It's clear from the show's pilot that audiences meet him right from the start, but there are plenty of candidates to choose from. Nonetheless, all three actors ...

In the present, Sophie (Hilary Duff) goes on 87 failed tinder dates; in 2052, Sophie (Kim Cattrall) reminisces about the past and explains to her son how she ...

What quickly becomes clear is how much this style of comedy benefits from the extended runtime – more room to breathe, more room to get to know the characters, more room to evolve and self-correct within the first series alone. On the off chance that you’ve not made the connection, How I Met Your Father is somewhere between a sequel to and a spinoff from the earlier How I Met Your Mother, a series that ran for nine years from 2005 to 2014. Sometimes, actually, it’s hard not to feel like this might’ve worked better if it weren’t connected to How I Met Your Mother at all anyway. A big part of that comes from its casting, with Hilary Duff (Lizzie McGuire) in the lead and Josh Peck (Drake and Josh) in a significant supporting role; they’re both former child stars of the early 2000s, and the show is clearly catering to an audience who grew up with them. (Interestingly, the attempted Greta Gerwig/Meg Ryan iteration of this, 2014’s How I Met Your Dad, made a similar choice in its pilot episode too.) Will it? Probably the first thing you’ll notice about How I Met Your Father is how much it feels like a throwback.
