10 TV Spin-offs You Didn't Know Were Happening

7. How I Met Your Father

The Haunting of Sharon Tate Hilary Duff
Saban Films

How I Met Your Mother was one of the biggest things in pop-culture for the duration of its nine season run, so is it any surprise that the franchise is being expanded?

Currently in the works for Hulu (which means that it'll probably stream on Disney Plus for us UK folks) is a spinoff show titled How I Met Your Father, with Hilary Duff attached to star. Duff will play Sophie, who is telling her son the story of how she met his dad.

Just like How I Met Your Mother, How I Met Your Father will use a single and multi-camera approach, and in addition, the creators of the original show are also returning as executive producers. So, from its premise to its tone, the new show should make long-time fans feel right at home.

How I Met Your Father will kick off with a ten-episode first series, and while a release window hasn't been mentioned yet, it will probably be ready to go in 2022.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
