‘How I Met Your Father’ reinvents the dating game for 2022 but tries to keep the original’s optimism

The dating game in New York has changed since the creators of “How I Met Your Father” lived in the city in the mid-2000s, but it’s still all about that “epic love story” everyone wants to eventually share.

Described as a sequel to the CBS sitcom “How I Met Your Mother,” “How I Met Your Father” takes the same premise and updates it for 2022: photographer Sophie (Hilary Duff), surrounded by a group of friends, flounders her way through the Manhattan dating pool in a desperate attempt to find love, while her older self (Kim Cattrall) narrates the story to her adult off-screen son.

“How I Met Your Father,” which premiered Tuesday on Hulu, keeps “the nostalgia and the grand epic love story it takes on when it’s someone looking back and telling their kids how they wound up a person, basically,” showrunner Isaac Aptaker told the Daily News.
