How I Met Your Father trailer; HIMYM fans upset with reboot version due to forced humour

One of the most popular sitcoms of the early 2000s, How I Met Your Mother is marking a comeback with a spin-off version How I Met Your Father and recently, streaming platform Hulu dropped a trailer of the series. However, the trailer met with backlash from ardent fans of the sitcom as they claimed the reboot is spoiling the original and lacks in many aspects compared to HIMYM.

How I Met Your Father: Release date and cast line-up

In the reboot version of HIMYM, we get to see Sophie's younger version portrayed by Hillary Duff, clearly indicating it to be a gender-swapped version of "How I Met Your Mother." In the trailer, we could see Sophie telling her son about how she met his father and the story takes you back in a flashback in the year 2021, where the story takes you to New York and shows how Sophie and her close-knit group discuss what they want from life and they also try to figure out, how to fall in love in this age of dating apps and limitless other options.

 “How I Met Your Father” will premiere on Hulu on January 18. Its cast lineup is looking quite interesting featuring Christopher Lowell, Francia Raisa, Tom Ainsley, Tien Tran playing pivotal roles, along with the Life of Pi actor Suraj Sharma. Sex and the City actor Kim Cattrall and Josh Peck from “Drake & Josh” will also be seen in special guest appearance roles in the series.
