Sophie (Duff) reprises the role of protagonist in this new take on a classic as she searches for love in a city filled with endless options. A challenge she faces head-on with the help of her friends Jess, Valentina, Charlie, Ellen and Sid, while the story is told of the near future to her children, through the eyes of her eldest (Cattrall).
The show follows the same format as its predecessor, with narration by eldest Sophie ending the adventures of the youngest, written by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger. At this time, the series is not expected to share direct continuity with its predecessor How I Met Your Mother, albeit in the age of shared universes, which means we won’t be intervening on Ted, Marshall, Robin, Barney and the rest of the gang?
