Fox is looking for new writers to make a How I Met Your Mother spin-off
Back in December, the idea for a How I Met Your Mother spin-off/reboot about a woman telling her kids about how she met their dad was briefly resurrected, with This Is Us executive producers Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger pitching a new version of a show that would be called How I Met Your Father and would have no connection to the original show or CBS’ failed How I Met Your Dad pilot from a few years ago. Nothing has come of that, but Fox—which produced How I Met Your Mother—recently teased that a reunion might happen someday, giving us a chance to see what other depressing deaths and divorces have befallen the gang in the years since the show ended.
