Sophie (Duff) takes over the role of the protagonist of this new spin on a classic as she seeks love in a city filled with endless options. A challenge she faces head-on with the help of her friends Jess, Valentina, Charlie, Ellen and Sid, while the story is recounted from the near future to her children, through the eyes of her elder self (Cattrall).
The show follows the same format as its predecessor, with narration by older Sophie bookending the adventures of the younger one, written by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger. At this moment, the show is not slated to share any direct continuity with predecessor How I Met Your Mother, though in the age of shared universes, who’s to say we won’t be popping in on Ted, Marshall, Robin, Barney and the rest of the gang?
