The former teen idol and
Younger star has gotten the unlikely role in a gender-swapped sequel to
How I Met Your Mother (which will air on Hulu).
Called
How I Met Your Father, the show will follow Sophie (Duff, 33) reminiscing to her son about how she met his father and recounting her friend group's dating antics back in 2021, (as told from a vantage point in the future).
The former show, which ran from 2005 to 2014, had a similar format, with Bob Saget's voice narrating a look back at Ted Mosby's (Josh Radnor) past dating romps and friend group, including womanising Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), ambitious Robin (Cobie Smulders) and couple-goals duo Marshall (Jason Segel) and Lily (Alyson Hannigan).
