Hilary Duff Explains Why She Decided to Take on the Starring Role in 'How I Met Your Father'

Hilary Duff is ready for her next project!

Earlier this week, it was announced that Hilary will be starring in Hulu’s upcoming show How I Met Your Father, a sequel series to the hit CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother.

In a new interview with Variety, Hilary is opening up about the final season of her show Younger and explains why she’s excited about her new show.

“After spending so much time on a show with people you love, it’s always hard to permanently say goodbye,” Hilary said about Younger. “I’m not ready for it to end.”

However, Hilary did joke that she’s ready for a “a job that shoots in L.A!” instead of having to fly to New York City to film Younger.

Hilary then went on to share why she decided to take the starring role in How I Met Your Father.

“HIMYF” is “set in the near future where Sophie (Duff) is telling her son the story of how she met his father: a story that catapults back to the year 2021 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.”

“I knew I had to be the one to bring Sophie to life and share the female POV to this legendary show,” Hilary shared.

Recently, Hilary admitted she’s struggling with this after giving birth to daughter Mae last month.
