gamerant.com:

Despite an uncertain beginning to its streaming life course, Hulu has announced it will renew How I Met Your Father for at least one more season that will feature twice as many episodes as the show's debut season.

Hulu's How I Met Your Fatherpilot premiered on January 18 as part of a two-episode release. A sequel to the hit sitcom How I Met Your Mother, which ran on CBS from 2004 to 2014, How I Met Your Father takes place in the exact same universe with characters from the new series even living in Ted, Marshall, and Lily’s former New York City apartment. At the time of writing, How I Met Your Father has released six episodes, although critical reception has been mostly lukewarm and quick to point out the show’s over reliance on nostalgia for the original.
