How I Met Your Father Producers Want Britney Spears To Return In HIMYM Role
How I Met Your Father co-showrunner Isaac Aptaker says he would love to have Britney Spears return as her How I Met Your Mother character. The new spinoff of the classic sitcom premiered the first two episodes of its ten-episode season yesterday, January 18, 2022. So far it is still in the early days and introducing its core characters, so it has not had the chance to indulge in the celebrity cameos that became a mainstay of How I Met Your Mother, which ended up featuring performances from Katy Perry, Enrique Iglesias, Joe Manganiello, and many more. There was a brief appearance from Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester, but she will likely be more of a recurring character as the season progresses rather than a cameo.
One of How I Met Your Mother's biggest cameos was pop star Britney Spears. Spears appeared as the character Abby in season 3's episode 13, «Ten Sessions» and episode 17, «Everything Must Go.» Abby is the receptionist at a dermatologist where Ted has been going for regular sessions, and it quickly becomes clear that she has been eyeing him and trying desperately to get him to notice her. She eventually teams up with Barney, pretending to get engaged with him to make Ted jealous.
