How I Met Your Mother co-creator Craig Thomas is lamenting the fate of that sitcom’s offshoot, How I Met Your Father, which Hulu cancelled on Friday after two seasons.

“I will miss the feeling, even from afar, of a bunch of #HIMYM production all-stars continuing to make stuff together,” he added, “which always made my heart feel full!”
Premiering in January 2022, HIMYF picked up eight years after the events of the HIMYM finale and focused on a new friend group consisting of Sophie (Younger‘s Hilary Duff), Jesse (Veronica Mars‘ Chris Lowell), Valentina (grown-ish‘s Francia Raisa), Charlie (The Royals‘ Tom Ainsley), Ellen (Space Force‘s Tien Tran) and Sid (God Friended Me‘s Suraj Sharma).
The story was told from the perspective of a 58-year-old Sophie (Sex and the City‘s Kim Cattrall) — and unlike the original, the pilot established that our protagonist had already met the dad.
In the Season 2-now-series finale, Sophie got together with potential baby daddy Jesse, while Sid, another potential baby daddy, saw his marriage to Hannah implode.
But with the sitcom’s cancellation two months later, the titular father’s identity remains unknown.
