‘How I Met Your Father’ Sets January Premiere Date
Finally, How I Met Your Father has landed a release date, and it is sooner than expected!
Yesterday, Hulu announced that the Hilary Duff spin-off series will debut on the platform on January 18, 2022. Check out the Twitter post, which includes the entire cast having fun with How I Met Your Mother references (which will probably abound in the show):

The series started filming in early August, and recently released the group photo seen above. In a Variety article, they explained they were the first to use the new StageCraft studio, named “Infinity,” at Disney’s Burbank lot. Pam Fryman, who directed the vast majority of How I Met Your Mother, and who has apparently directed more episodes than the premiere (as it was originally reported), said in a statement:
“I was able to spend the day in Burbank shooting a scene on the Brooklyn Bridge. The logistics and price tag of shooting on location (even when there’s not a pandemic) would have made this scene impossible — but thanks to this new technology the scene is in the can.”
However, it appears that How I Met Your Father only used the virtual environment for a limited amount of time, with the rest of the series being shot on traditional sets, much like the original show.
How I Met Your Father was created by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, who will also serve as writers. Hilary Duff is a producer as well as the lead, and the creators of the original series, Craig Thomas and Carter Bays, will executive produce the spin-off too. In addition to Duff, the cast includes Kim Cattrall, Chris Lowell, Tom Ainsley, Tien Tran, Francia Raisa, and Suraj Sharma.
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as authors like Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
