Mark the calendars, it’s coming.
The first teaser trailer for the upcoming How I Met Your Father sitcom is here – and starring the one and only Kim Cattrall, you know it’s got to be good.
Starring Hilary Duff as Sophie, Cattrall as future Sophie, as well as Chris Lowell, Suraj Sharma, and Francia Raisa, the new series follows a new group of friends as they navigate the world of online dating, and eventually find out once and for all, how Sophie met your father.
The new series is “a story that catapults us back to the year 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.”
But the new series isn’t exactly like the one that came before it. Originally Bob Saget, who played future Ted, only appeared via voice over, but this time around Cattrall will be appearing in the actual show itself, as she tells her kids exactly how she met their father.
Writers and producers Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger have said the new series will be a How I Met Your Mother for the next generation.
“Carter and Craig’s iconic original series revolutionised the half-hour comedy, and we are so honoured to be carrying the torch forward for the next generation – and with Hilary Duff no less!” they said.
“We can’t wait for audiences to meet Sophie and her crew, and watch them come into their own and find love in modern-day New York City.
“And we hope nobody thinks it’s weird that Bob Saget will be playing old Hilary Duff’s voice.”
How I Met Your Father will premier on Hulu on January 18, 2022. You can watch the teaser below:
