'How I Met Your Father' Cancelled After Two Seasons


Listen Later

How I Met Your Father, a spin-off of the popular sitcom How I Met Your Mother, was cancelled by Hulu after two seasons. The series, which starred Hilary Duff as a New Yorker looking for love, wrapped up its second season in July without revealing the answer to the question implied in the title.

There are a few reasons why How I Met Your Father may have been cancelled. First, it was not as well-received as How I Met Your Mother. The original series was a critical and commercial success, but How I Met Your Father never quite achieved the same level of popularity.

Second, How I Met Your Father faced stiff competition from other streaming comedies. In recent years, there has been a surge of new and popular comedies, such as Ted Lasso, The Good Place, and Schitt's Creek. This made it more difficult for How I Met Your Father to stand out.

Finally, How I Met Your Father was also reportedly expensive to produce. The series was filmed in New York City, which is a major production cost.

Despite its cancellation, How I Met Your Father did have its fans. The series was praised for its diverse cast and its positive portrayal of female friendship. However, it ultimately did not find a large enough audience to justify its continued production.

It is still possible that How I Met Your Father could be revived in the future. The series ended with a cliffhanger, so there is still a story to be told. However, for now, it seems that the show has come to an end.
