No Season 3 for the sequel series.
September 1, 2023
It is being reported that Hulu has cancelled How I Met Your Father after two seasons. The news comes less than two months after the comedy wrapped its sophomore run, which at 20 episodes was twice the length of its first season. Unfortunately for fans of the show, the identity of the father had not yet been revealed.
A standalone sequel to CBS' long-running hit 'How I Met Your Mother,' the show follows a woman named Sophie, played by Hilary Duff, in the future as she tells her son the story of how she met his father. The tale goes back to the year 2021, where Sophie and her close group of friends are trying to figure out who they are, what they want out of life, and how to fall in love in the age of dating apps and endless options.

I generally also appreciate series that are made from books.
But if the story outlives the written source material, conclude.
Otherwise they make season two and then cancel and everyone moans.
Doesn't anyone know how to make a story and then move on?
I like having points of no returns on shows.
Everyone needs a reality check like us sci-fi fans have had to get used to for 30 years.
When a show closes, the last place can't just close off and warehouse the set. That space is needed.
And other groups buying up all the same actors contracts is not just " now you work here."
I love the idiocy of some of our IMScancelled posters who think anyoneone else can just trot on over and "do the dew."
I think your finallity is correct. paul chan. about two weeks for anyone to swoop in. otherwise over.
Also, two weeks for the obligatory shout out's from the actors telling us how awesome it was to make the beloved show.
timetables rule.

and i want to complain about something often going forward.
waa waa waa! so many people complaining they arent gonna watch any new thing or show unless they are sure it will hit a conclusion.
that used to be called reading a book.
Medium rated show that aren't cheap are all getting the axe.
After the strike don't be suprised if they do a 4 episode conclusion (unless it lasts past Sept 15). This strike will have to be over by the 15th to save any/most these shows recently canceled, new, or close to be canceled because the cost will be way too much and all these writers will have to be back paid. UNLESS CANCELED
So just cancel it. I am suprised many more haven't been canceled at this point.
* london voice guy became stand up guy. not stand up
Lets dig a little into what we are argueing on.
Original series, Voice like bob sagat sits his teenage kids down for years telling them how he met their mom. Tons of trauma to them whilst they are busy in high school begging not to hear this stuff.
Kim cattrell sit's down her older son, responsible enough to hear the content this go round. But he is still begin for the story to stop.
Sandwhich and T yall did a hate judgement on the blonde actresses. Did you not follow how things were gonna get more involved with duff possibly choosing a real relationship, more with hot dog dad and paget b., the bartender and the doctor divorcing (yeah that would have filled at least 8 episodes of "we don't care")
A little less laugh track and a little more writing was the only thing to save this show. Upcoming cameos and blue horns, would have been awesome but can't buoy a show without that third season ummpphhffhh.
(I saw every episode of both series so am allowed to fully comment)
Cattrall was refreshing and was unlikely made into this comedie's occassional tease.
Duff, hawt and an actress. Ocassionally she had to read generic scripted sitcom claptrap, but she was not the problem.
London voice guy, slightly odd at first, got used to him and became stand up.
The on and off romance with the bar tender and the doctor, not ridiculous.
Duff's roommate, grew in attractiveness, even tho not commiting to a relationship.
Cameos, awesome.
Worst part of the show: the generic, it's him sappy ass boyfriend. "oh i support you, oh i am so happy for any little thing you did, did you poop also today? horaay. i am just a whiney actor modeling myself after penny and darlenes's boyfriends from multiple sries. I just whine and support you. the only thing worse than me is the last 4 years of movies and tv useing puty face acting."
pouty face acting: pouty lips, random sexual effect, pause and say nothing for moments, head tilt, bring back head....WHOLAH ACTING.
i am just glad HIMYF ended before it became a laugh track trainwreck.
It was a generally solid show, with occasional male and female undress, all around laughs, and was only gonna go down the toilet.
This one stopped just in time.
