We all loved and laughed watching the famous sitcom “How I Met Your Mother” but now it’s time to change the POV. Because it’s time for a second round, except this time to discover the mysterious father. With actors like Hilary Duff, Kim Cattrall, and Josh Peck, the spin-off series “How I Met Your Father” is definitely going to entice viewers.
The story of how Duff’s character Sophie met his father is narrated by Sophie (as the title implies), who is now the central figure and narrator. It is almost surprising, considering just how long the original series ran, that there hasn’t been a further follow-up focusing on the female perspective. Not anymore because it’s finally happening with Disney Hotstar.
