The project, titled How I Met Your Dad, was spec-ed by the studio with This Is Us co-executive producers Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger. But as This Is Us took off, the duo were busy working on it and were subsequently elevated to co-showrunners with creator Dan Fogelman for Season 2. With Aptaker and Berger no longer available, “the studio will try (developing a spinoff) with different writers,” Fox chairman Dana Walden told Deadline. No previous HIMYM spinoff ideas will be carried over. “They will be starting from scratch,” she said of the new effort, potentially for next season, which is currently looking for writers. “It’s one that’s been slowly cooked. If it’s the right idea the right execution, we’ll take that,” Walden said about doing a HIMYM spinoff, which the studio first attempted at CBS during the original series’ final season.
I've been binging this the last 6-7 weeks on Hulu because I stopped watching after season 6 originally (not because I didn't like it anymore; I just kind of stopped paying attention). After watching the last three seasons, that ending is just so bad. And it's especially bad since Barney/NPH carried pretty much all of those seasons while Ted was just running in place because they were afraid to meet the mother too soon.
