How I Met Your Father Will Have Some Similarities and a Possible Connection to HIMYM

-

With the announcement of the TV comedy series How I Met Your Father (HIMYF) came the inevitable question: how closely will this new series starring Hilary Duff be tied to the megahit sitcom How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM)? Fans of the original TV series can give themselves a legendary high five, because HIMYF may have some sort of connection to HIMYM.

In HIMYF, Sophie (Duff) will narrate the story of how she met her son's father - similar to how Ted Mosby (Josh Radnor) explains to his kids how he met their mother. The similarities don't stop there, because HIMYF will also follow a group of New York City friends navigating the dating world, their careers, and friendships.

Even though HIMYF does resemble HIMYM, there will be some distinctive differences between the two. For starters, HIMYF will take place in the present, with promises to involve dating apps and social media. With this more modern twist, there's sure to be room for exciting and relatable plot lines.

In addition to this, the cast will be different. Duff will be joined by Francia Raísa, Chris Lowell, Tom Ainsley, Ashley Reyes, and Tien Tran. It's unclear if any of the original cast will be part of the spinoff, but Duff did tease the idea to EW while hinting at script revisions that are aiming to possibly tie both series together. "I don't want to give it all away and the script is definitely being changed a little bit," Duff said. "But it does tie in and, you know, hopefully, we'll have some fun guest appearances from the original cast."

HIMYM, starring Radnor, Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris, Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segel, came to an end in 2014 after a nine-season run on CBS. The show's creators, Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, went on to pitch a pilot to CBS titled How I Met Your Dad, but the network passed. In 2021, Hulu placed a straight-to-series order for its concept How I Met Your Father, with Bays and Thomas added as executive producers.

Although an air date hasn't been announced, HIMYF has started filming. So move over, Gossip Girl and And Just Like That - we have a new group of NYC friends to follow!

The Circle: Meet the Real "Emily" - aka Jack's Catfish Persona

-

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

-

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
