Well, this sucks.
Hulu has canceled How I Met Your Father after two seasons.
The news broke Friday night, just months after the conclusion of the sophomore season.
The controversial decision means we'll be left on a cliffhanger because the show never got close to unmasking the identity of Sophie's baby daddy.
The series hinted at it with the second season's conclusion, with Sophie moving on with Jesse.
However, there were more key players in the mix, and there was the potential the show could pull the rug from under us to switch things up entirely.
How I Met Your Father picked up eight years after the events of How I Met Your Mother, taking us into a new circle of friends headlined by Hilary Duff.
The cast was rounded out by Chris Lowell, Francia Raisa, Tom Ainsley, Tien Tran, and Suraj Sharma.

It was announced today that Hulu has canceled How I Met Your Father after two seasons, which means that fans may never get to know the answer to the question posed by the title.
Set in the near future in 2050, How I Met Your Father follows Sophie (Kim Cattrall) telling her son the story of how she met his father back in the year 2022, when Sophie (Hilary Duff) and her close-knit group of friends – Jesse (Chris Lowell), Valentina (Francia Raisa), Charlie (Tom Ainsley), Ellen (Tien Tran) and Sid (Suraj Sharma) — were 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.
Although How I Met Your Father largely stood alone from I Met Your Mother, it did feature a few appearances from the stars of the original series, including Cobie Smulders as Robin and Neil Patrick Harris as Barney.

How I Met Your Father has come to a sudden halt, as Hulu has decided to axe the How I Met Your Mother series after only two seasons, following the recent Season 2 finale in July.

Plot: Jonny Baptiste is a reckless teen sent to live with her estranged Aunt Hildie. On her 18th birthday, she experiences a radical metamorphosis: a family spell that redefines her called Forevering. When several teen girls go missing at her new school, a mythically feral Jonny goes after the Perpetrator.
Review: Female empowerment has never been as prevalent in horror as it has been over the last twenty years. With women shifting from victims and buxom eye candy to protagonists and heroic final girls, horror has experimented more and more with the ideas of gender, race, and sexuality than ever before. Jennifer Reeder’s new film, Perpetrator, takes on all these concepts along with a dash of pitch-black humor in a film almost beyond categorization. Drawing influences from Clueless and Heathers to Society and Suspiria, Reeder’s latest film is an interesting blend of ideas that do not come together in the end,...

[Editor’s Note: This post contains spoilers for the final two episodes of How I Met Your Father Season 2, “Shady Parker” and “Okay Fine, It’s a Hurricane.”]
How I Met Your Father’s central mystery has become more of a guessing game. Whereas the original series didn’t introduce the mother (Cristin Milioti) until the very end of its penultimate season, Himyf establishes from the get-go that viewers have already met the father, narrowing the candidates down to Jesse (Chris Lowell), Sid (Suraj Sharma), Charlie (Tom Ainsley), Ian (Daniel Augustin), and Drew (Josh Peck). But after the sitcom’s two-part finale, Sid has emerged as the frontrunner for the role of Sophie’s (Hilary Duff) future husband.

My sophomore year of college started with “How I Met Your Mother.”
I had just moved into my first apartment with four roommates, some of whom I’d known for years and others who were effectively strangers. As another University of Michigan Welcome Week unfolded, we started every day on the couch bingeing this show none of us had ever seen before, becoming instant fans. Whoever woke first each morning would start the day’s viewing, the theme song beckoning us to crawl out of our respective bedrooms in a Pavlovian undergraduate hangover ritual.
We never found our way back to the series, then in its sixth season on CBS, but would always remember it as an essential part of becoming roommates. I’ve only revisited “Himym” once since its notorious 2014 series finale — it aged poorly enough for me to make immediate peace with never returning again — and had no...
