How I Met Your Father Canceled, Season 3 Not Happening at Hulu

Hulu’s How I Met Your Mother spin-off, titled How I Met Your Father, has been canceled after two seasons on the streaming platform.

Variety revealed that the Hilary Duff-led series has been canceled after two seasons, meaning the series ends before audiences could find out who ended up being the father of Sophie’s children. The second season just concluded less than two months ago on Tuesday, July 11.

What was How I Met Your Father about?

“In the near future, Sophie (Duff) is telling her son the story of how she met his father: a story that catapults us back to the present 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,” reads the series’ synopsis.

How I Met Your Father was written and executive produced by creators Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger (Love Victor). The series starred Hilary Duff (Lizzie McGuire) as Sophie, Chris Lowell (GLOW) as Jesse, Francia Raisa (Grown-ish) as Valentina, Tom Ainsley (The Royals) as Charlie, Tien Tran (Space Force) as Ellen, and Suraj Sharma (Homeland) as Sid. Additional cast included Kim Cattrall, Daniel Augustin, Ashley Reyes, and Josh Peck.

The Hulu sitcom was executive produced by How I Met Your Mother creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, along with Adam Londy. 20th Television produced with Duff also serving as a producer.

The original series ran on-air for nine seasons from 2005-2014. It starred Josh Radnor as Ted Mosby, Jason Segel as Marshall Eriksen, Alyson Hannigan as Lily Aldrin, Neil Patrick Harris as Barney Stinson, and Cobie Smulders as Robin Scherbatsky, with Bob Saget serving as the voice of future Ted.
