Hulu Orders a How I Met Your Mother Spinoff Called How I Met Your Father

Hilary Duff stars in the gender-flipping series

Seven years after CBS passed on a spinoff for How I Met Your Mother called How I Met Your Dad, the show has been resurrected at Hulu.

Hulu has given a straight-to-series order to the project, now titled How I Met Your Father. It was created by This Is Us executive producers Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger and will star Hilary Duff, who will also produce.
