Hulu Cancels ‘How I Met Your Father’ After 2 Seasons

Hulu announced the cancelation of the American sitcom ‘How I Met Your Father’ after a two-season run.

Just a few days prior to this announcement, the American subscription streaming service majority-owned by The Walt Disney Company also canceled an alternate historical and satirical comedy-drama television series, ‘The Great.’

The sitcom created by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger finished airing its second season on July 11, 2023, and now, with the news of cancelation, it would not be providing an answer to the question in the title of the series.

‘How I Met Your Father’ is a spinoff of CBS’s ‘How I Met Your Mother,’ which aired from 2005 until 2014. Even though it is not a direct sequel, ‘How I Met Your Father’ is also set in New York as the original series. It has included guest appearances from the ‘How I Met Your Mother’ cast, Cobie Smulders and Neil Patrick Harris, among others.

Jesse Walker, portrayed by Christopher Lowell and Sid, played onscreen by Suraj Sharma, also resides in the apartment occupied by Ted, played onscreen by Josh Radnor and Marshall, played onscreen by Jason Segel in ‘How I Met Your Mother.’

The basic plot of the series involves Sophie Tompkins, played by Hilary Duff, narrating to her son the story of how she met his father. Francia Raisa, Tom Ainsley, Tien Tran, and Kim Cattrall are also part of the cast.

With announcements of cancelation and conclusion of multiple series, Hulu’s collection of original, live-action comedies is getting limited. Hulu’s current lineup includes ‘Only Murders in the Building,’ ‘Ramy, Life & Beth,’ ‘This Fool,’ ‘Unprisoned,’ and FX’s The Bear.
