The How I Met Your Mother Spinoff Might Be Happening Again

 

Nearly three years after the end of How I Met Your Mother, there's a spinoff in the works, but it's not the spinoff you may think you already heard about. Just after the end of the series, there was a pilot called How I Met Your Dad, starring Greta and written by HIMYM executive producers Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, along with Emily Spivey. 

CBS shockingly decided not to pick that pilot up, and now the whole concept is getting a rewrite from This Is Us co-executive producers Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger. Bays and Thomas will serve as executive producers. 

The new pilot will be called How I Met Your Father, and will once again be told from a female perspective, but it's not a typical spinoff, since it has no connection to the original show other the basic premise.
