A filming date has been revealed for the upcoming series “How I Met Your Father.” The Hulu/Star original is a spinoff of How I Met Your Mother and will reportedly begin shooting on August 2nd in Los Angeles, California.
The 10-episode comedy will star Hilary Duff (Lizzie McGuire) and Chris Lowell (Glow, Promising Young Women).
In the new series, Duff stars as Sophie, who is telling her son the story of how she met his father, much like Josh Radnor (and Bob Saget’s) Ted Mosby did in the original series. The story starts in 2021 where Sophie and her close-knit group of friends are in the midst of 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.
Pam Fryman, who directed all but twelve episodes of How I Met Your Mother, has been tapped to executive produce and direct the pilot episode.
How I Met Your Mother aired on CBS for nine seasons with over 200 episodes from 2005-2014. The series starred Josh Radnor, Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Segel, and Alyson Hannigan. Bob Saget provided the voice of the narrator, an older version of Radnor’s character Ted Mosby.
