Hilary Duff To Star In How I Met Your Mother Sequel
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. According to an individual with knowledge of the project, it remains unclear how/if the new show will tie into the original.
Sophie appears to be modeled off of Josh Radnor (and Bob Saget’s) Ted Mosby in the original series. Duff, while excited about the opportunity, certainly feels the weight of the role.
“I’ve been incredibly lucky in my career to play some wonderful characters and I’m looking forward to taking on the role of Sophie. As a huge fan of How I Met Your Mother, I’m honored and even a little nervous that [HIMYM creators] Carter and Craig would trust me with the sequel of their baby, Hilary said in a statement.
She added, “[HIMYF creators] Isaac and Elizabeth are brilliant, and I can’t wait to work alongside them and all of their genius. Just fangirling over here getting to join the Hulu Originals and 20th families. I realize these are big shoes to fill and I’m excited to slip my 6 ½’s in there.”
As of press time, it remains unclear how or if the new show will tie in with the original series. The new series is being produced by This Is Us and Love, Victor co-creators Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, while How I Met Your Mother creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas will executive produce.
