‘How I Met Your Father’

With How I Met Your Father Season 2 premiering on Hulu January 24, what better time to watch or rewatch Season 1 to ensure the lovable shenanigans of Sophie (Hilary Duff), Jesse (Christopher Lowell), Valentina (Francia Raisa), Sid (Suraj Sharma), Charlie (Tom Ainsley), and Ellen (Tien Tran) are fresh in your mind? If you’re a fan of How I Met Your Mother, the sequel series — created by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger — is essential viewing. Just as Bob Saget voiced an aged Ted Mosby, an older Sophie, played by Kim Cattrall, sits her son down in the year 2050 and recounts her great love story in even greater detail. The modern-day series strives to stand on its own, but delightful callbacks and special guest appearances treat HIMYM fans to heartwarming nuggets of nostalgia. And those unfamiliar with the 2005 comedy can binge its successor, too. With palpable cast chemistry, millennial comfort cameos by Josh Peck and Leighton Meester, and an utterly winsome leading lady, there’s a whole lot to love about this next chapter.
