With season 2 of How I Met Your Father coming soon to Hulu, fans are wondering what’s to come from the modern sitcom. Debuting on Hulu in 2022, the series serves as a spinoff of the TV show How I Met Your Mother. The new show has a similar premise, but as the title suggests, the genders are reversed. Hilary Duff stars as a hopeless romantic looking for love while Kim Cattrall plays an older version of the character, serving as the narrator and telling the story of how she met the love of her life.
While the new show introduces a new cast, How I Met Your Father has had some throwbacks with some familiar faces popping up to make special appearances. This includes characters like Cobie Smulders’ Robin Scherbatsky, Kyle MacLachlan’s The Captain, Laura Bell Bundy’s Becky, and Joe Nieves’ Carl the bartender. But there hasn’t been any inclusion of Ted Mosby, the central character played by Josh Radnor in How I Met Your Mother (Bob Saget voiced the older version of Ted).

In a new interview with ComicBook.com, Radnor was asked about the possibility of a cameo as Ted in How I Met Your Father. His answer suggests that he’d be open to it, certainly making it possible, but that it’s a decision that’s not up to him. Perhaps that’s just his way of saying he hasn’t gotten an offer yet. From the interview:
“I don’t know. I’m not in charge of those things. I’m at the mercy of other forces. We’ll see how that goes.”

Created by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, How I Met Your Father follows Sophie (Hilary Duff) and her friends in Manhattan. Meanwhile, an older Sophie (Kim Cattrall) helps frame the story from the year 2050 with her narration on how she met the listener’s father. The show also stars Chris Lowell, Francia Raisa, Suraj Sharma, Tom Ainsley, Tien Tran, Ashley Reyes, Leighton Meester, Josh Peck, and Stony Blyden.
[Series creators] Isaac [Aptaker] and Elizabeth [Berger]’s inspired vision for How I Met Your Father has proven to be true appointment viewing that fans cannot get enough of week to week,” Jordan Helman, Head of Scripted Content at Hulu Originals, said when the series was renewed last year. “The lives of these characters, as portrayed by the immensely talented cast led by Hilary Duff, are just starting to unfold and we’re thrilled to bring more of this group’s journey to our viewers with a supersized second season.”
The first season of How I Met Your Father is streaming on Hulu while season 2 is set to debut on Jan. 24, 2023.
