How I Met Your Mother fans may have to wait even longer for How I Met Your Father. TVLine reports the spin-off has been delayed because of the NBC drama This Is Us.
Earlier, we reported This Is Us writers Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger are developing a new spin-off to the long-running CBS sitcom, which ended in 2014. A previous attempt, How I Met Your Dad, was written by series creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas but it never made it past the pilot stage.
Now, How I Met Your Father has been put on the backburner because Aptaker and Berger have been promoted to co-showrunners on This Is Us. The spin-off, which is still in the early stages of development, has been described as How I Met Your Mother but told from a female perspective. None of the original HIMYM castmembers are expected to star in the project, which is not yet attached to a network.
What do you think? Are you a fan of HIMYM? Would you watch the spin-off?
Not after how they ended HIMYM, I have zero interest I watching this.
I Loved that show and was very disappointed when it was taken off the air.
I would definitely love to see a spin off-although it can never compare to the original.
I didn’t like HIMYM so I know I won’t watch any spin off.
The only reason HIMYM was even a success was because of Barney. I liked Marshal and Lily okay, but NPH carried that show. Without him, it would have been a rather silly sitcom. Somehow I doubt a spinoff will have nearly the same success.
Oh, come on! I was looking forward to that spin-off!
I wonder how would that work without any of the original cast on it.
I’m certainly curious and open about that HIMYM spinoff.
It won’t work just keep showing the rest runs
How I Met Your Mother was one of my favorite shows of all time. every cast member was excellent, and the stories were very well written and acted.I would definitely watch How I Met Your Father !
