How I Met Your Father: First look of spinoff’s cast, featuring Hilary Duff, released

For How I Met Your Mother fans still not over the show ending its run, here is an exciting piece of news. The spinoff to the series called How I Met Your Father has released its first look photograph featuring the main cast.

The photograph features the main cast standing on the Brooklyn Bridge against the backdrop of a brightly lit New York City. The image includes cast members Hilary Duff, Chris Lowell, Tom Ainsley, Tien Tran, Francia Raisa, and Suraj Sharma.

According to reports in Collider, one of the show’s episodes featured an important sequence set on the Brooklyn Bridge. But due to the restrictions brought about by the pandemic and difficulties and expenses involved in filming on location, the showrunners decided to recreate the iconic structure on a virtual stage.

The technology used to create the virtual background is similar to that used on the sets of the Emmy Award nominated TV series The Mandalorian.

The series also stars Kim Cattrall as the narrator and mother.
