More about Duff's How I Met Your Father

Duff will helm the main lead in the show, Sophie, which will be set similar to the original, nine-season CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother in modern-day New York. Sophie will recount to her son how she met his father. The show will be set in 2021 when Sophie and her friends are trying to figure out life.

In April, Hulu had ordered ten episodes of the show which is headed by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, as well as Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, the creators of the original series that ran on CBS from 2005 to 2014. Hilary will also be a producer on the show.

According to the show's logline, the story takes us back to the year 2021, "where 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.”.
