Alyson Hannigan Has A ‘How I Met Your Mother’ Spinoff Idea & Reveals Why She Didn’t Watch ‘How I Met Your Father’


Alyson Hannigan starred in How I Met Your Mother for nine seasons and is ready for a new spinoff.

In a new interview, the American Pie alum revealed she had an idea for a reboot that would focus on Jason Segel’s character, Marshall Eriksen. The show starring Hilary Duff, Christopher Lowell, Francia Raisa, Suraj Sharma, Tom Ainsley, Tien Tran, and Kim Cattrall ran for two seasons. In the same interview, Hannigan said she didn’t watch the spinoff, not even the episode where her real-life husband Alexis Denisof made a cameo reprising his role from How I Met Your Mother as anchor Sandy Rivers.
