It's Official CBS Orders How I Met Your Dad

We’re one step closer to meeting Dad.

CBS on Friday ordered a pilot of the How I Met Your Mother spin-off How I Met Your Dad.

The network is calling the buzzed-about comedy project a “kindred spirit” of the original series — only this one tells the story of a relationship from a female point of view.

CBS also notes that HIMYD will be a brand-new story with new characters (lest you think that Slutty Pumpkin was finally going to have her day in the sun.)

HIMYM‘s Emily Spivey, Carter Bays and Craig Thomas will write and executive-produce the potential series alongside 20th Century Fox TV.
