In 2022, How I Met Your Mother's spin-off, How I Met Your Father aired on Hulu. Starring Hilary Duff, the collection only gained a 37% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
A Top Critic mentioned there may be "too much of an imitation at some points and too scattered and strange at others. But there are a few sparks of potential here." Too unhealthy, the display has simply been canceled after two seasons.
The internet had combined reactions to the scoop. Some thought the display was in spite of everything getting its stride whilst others idea there wasn't a need for the reboot within the first place.
A netizen even called it "cringe," to which Duff spoke back. Here's the whole lot you will have to find out about HIMYF's cancelation.
What Did The How I Met Your Mother Cast Think About How I Met Your Father?
In 2021, HIMYM's Neil Patrick Harris stated that he was satisfied to look HIMYF occur after a large number of failed makes an attempt at making a reboot happen. "We're kind of in an interesting sort of spin-off world or redo worlds, right?" he told Insider. "There's Wonder Years that's happening again. And there's lots of different shows that are sort of remounting in different iterations."
He added: "They had tried to make a How I Met Your Father a couple of times before and so It's nice to see that this one's sticking. I hope it lands." Harris made a cameo in season 2 of HIMYF, reprising his role as Barney Stinson. In March 2023, Duff said it was a chaotic day on set.
"He had so much to do that day, he had pages and pages of dialogue, and everything that could go wrong went wrong," she told Entertainment Weekly. "Some crew guy got hurt and there was an ambulance, it was pouring down rain, of course on the only night that we had him, and we're outside, and we'd already shot stuff leading up to this night where it wasn't raining."
The underpaid Lizzie McGuire star said that filming with Harris ended up being "so funny" and that she "broke [laughing] 100 times." She added: "But he's just the best sport, and it was a dream to have him on."
Why Was How I Met Your Father Canceled After Two Seasons?
On September 1, 2023, Deadline reported that HIMYF wouldn't be renewed for season 3. The outlet famous that "News of the decision comes on the heels of Hulu also canceling popular comedy The Great after three seasons, and Disney+ not going forward with two new series and canceling Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. after two seasons amid companywide streaming content cuts at Disney."
Avid audience took to social media to precise their sadness. "What a gut punch!" one wrote on Reddit. "Season 2 they really found their stride, every episode was a banger and I was feeling that comfort you feel when you settle into a great sitcom which I haven’t felt since HIMYM concluded."
Another one added: "I really enjoyed the last half of the second season… it seemed like the writers had found a good rhythm and the characters were starting to feel natural. What a shame." Many are hoping for other streaming platforms to pick out up the series.
What Did Hilary Duff Say About How I Met Your Father Cancelation?
After Variety posted the cancelation information on Instagram, a commenter wrote: "Tried to watch it... it was so cringe... who thought this would ever be a good idea? Everything was done in the original, they covered it all..."
Duff noticed the comment, to which she replied, "you have 63 followers." As of this writing, the mother of three hasn't made an legit observation about the display's cancelation. However, enthusiasts assume it must be associated with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
"Unfortunately it's not just Disney that will be affected. So it's not completely his [Disney's CEO Robert Iger] fault," someone said on Reddit. "Although he did say some horrible things about the strike that is unacceptable. The strike can and mostly likely will affect shows on other networks movies too."
They continued: "That's why all the actors are standing with them because it affects them too. They really need to treat the writers better without them they won't have any entertainment to make money off of so they should pay them better."
Another consumer steered that Iger may just do something to restore the series. (*2*) they mentioned.
They went on to say that therefore, "one can blame the strikes, work stoppages and the contraction of the streaming industry, but Iger likely has the ability to save some shows from the chopping block and he chose not to spare HIMYF."
