On Twitter, the show announced, “Surprise! You’ll be seeing more great chapters in this love story because #HIMYF has been renewed for Season 2! @maddiedeutch”
Craig Thomas recently thanked all the fans who have stuck by the show en route to this big reveal today.
“Thank you to all the #HIMYM fans who keep the show doing so well all over the world, and extra thanks to those helping to make #HIMYF a big hit too!!,” he wrote.
It’s a huge win for Duff as well. She talked to Bustle about making the jump to this role as audiences might have only known her as Lizzie McGuire all those years ago. The actress has to feel great about this news.
“I’ve obviously had to think about [Lizzie] a lot. The lines get so blurry between me and her, and I think they are for the world, still. And they probably always will be. I think just accepting that has brought me a lot of peace,” she admitted. “That doesn’t mean I don’t have a backbone, and I don’t have a drive, and I don’t have a vision. I have all of those things.”
Hulu describes their series down below:
“In the near future, Sophie (Hilary Duff) is telling her son the story of how she met his father: a story that catapults us back to the year 2022 where Sophie and her close-knit group of friends are in the midst of figuring out who they are, what they want out of life, and how to fall in love in the age of dating apps and limitless options. Starring: Hilary Duff, Christopher Lowell, Francia Raisa, Suraj Sharma, Tom Ainsley, Tien Tran.”
