Hilary Duff reveals her new series How I Met Your Father is perfect for her

Just a day after Hulu gave a straight-to-series order for the How I Met Your Mother sequel How I Met Your Father, Hilary Duff is opening up about the show.

The series, a sequel to Fox’s How I Met Your Mother, is a perfect transition to her current series, Paramount Plus’ Younger, which is wrapping up its final season.

The 33-year-old actress spoke about being cast in How I Met Your Father for the first time in an interview with Variety, where the mother of three said she was looking forward to being closer to home.

Duff has played Kelsey Peters throughout Younger’s seven-season run, but the show films in New York CIty, meaning she has to be away from her family for a long period of time.

Still, she’s bittersweet about the show ending, adding, ‘After spending so much time on a show with people you love, it’s always hard to permanently say goodbye.’

She added, ‘I’m not ready for it to end,’ though she admitted she is ready for a, ‘job that shoots in L.A!’

Duff is mother to three children, nine-year-old Luca with ex-husband Mike Comrie and two-year-old Banks and newborn Mae with husband Matthew Koma.

The actress will portray Sophie, who, in the ‘near future’ is telling her son about how she met her father, though it’s unclear if there is a connection to How I Met Your Mother quite yet.

The story will head 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 10-episode comedy series was created by This Is Us showrunners Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, with original How I Met Your Mother creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas also serving as executive producers.

‘I’m a fan of Isaac and Elizabeth and was absolutely on board after reading the script for HIMYF,’ Duff said.

‘I knew I had to be the one to bring Sophie to life and share the female POV to this legendary show,’ Duff said, with a reference to the original show’s ‘legendary’ catch phrase.

Younger debuts new episodes in its final season each Thursday on Paramount Plus, with Duff adding this final season is her favorite.

‘I think the writers wrapped everything up nicely,’ she said, adding she’s pleased how the journey ends for her character Kelsey.

‘I love that Kelsey chooses herself, ditches the guys who aren’t good for her and continues on a journey that forces her to take risks. The ending especially really got me,’ she added.
