Why How I Met Your Father's Ellen Actor Found Her Story So Refreshing
How I Met Your Father star Tien Tran explains why she was so excited about her role in the series. HIMYF, which premiered on Hulu in January 2022, is set in the universe of the popular CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, which ran for nine seasons from 2005 through 2014. Taking on the format of the original series, it follows Sophie (Kim Cattrall) explaining to her son how she met his father, prompting «flashbacks» to the present day and the romantic exploits of her younger self (Hilary Duff). The show explained that the father is one of the men that Sophie met over the course of the pilot episode, but has not yet revealed which of the men it is, in a slight reversal of the HIMYMsetup.
