First Look Photo of the Cast of Hulu's HOW I MET YOUR FATHER Sequel Series on Disney's New Light & Magic Stage

A first look photo has been released that shows fans the cast of Hulu’s How I Met Your Father. The show is a sequel series to the CBS hit How I Met Your Mother, and it follows “Sophie (Hilary Duff) who is telling her son the story of how she met his father: story that catapults us back to the year 2021 where Sophie and her close-knit group of friends are in the midst of figuring out who they are, what they want out of life, and how to fall in love in the age of dating apps and limitless options.”

The photo above features the cast, and also showcases Industrial Light and Magic’s new virtual production stage, the Infinity, on Disney’s Burbank lot. Variety explains that the series showrunners Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger had conceived a pivotal sequence for an episode of the show, which is set in New York City, in which their lead character walks the Brooklyn Bridge with her friends. Rather than flying Duff and her castmates across the country and braving the logistical obstacles of the elements, location shooting and permits, ambient noise and other complications, series director and executive producer Pamela Fryman was able to shoot her stars on the virtual stage, capturing a render of them walking the iconic location which will Disney hopes will look authentic to viewers.

Duff is joined in the cast by Kim Cattrall, Chris Lowell, Tom Ainsley, Tien Tran, Francia Raisa and Suraj Sharma. How I Met Your Father is set to drop in 2022. Are you looking forward to this sequel series?
