Craig Thomas, “How I Met Your Father” co-creator, said Josh Radnor’s Ted Mosby never appeared due to creative choices. There will be a new project soon.
- Ted Mosby, played by Josh Radnor, never showed up in the sequel.
- The co-creator of HIMYM suggests a new project they will be working on together with Radnor.
Why didn’t Josh Radnor play Ted Mosby again?
In the spinoff “How I Met Your Father,” Josh Radnor’s Ted Mosby never showed up, even though other cast members from “How I Met Your Mother” did.
Craig Thomas, co-creator of HIMYM, said that the choice was made because he didn’t have much say in how the spinoff was made.
What did Craig Thomas say about Radnor not being there?
Thomas said that Radnor would have had to be really interested in the spinoff for Thomas to convince him to join. In response, he said, “It didn’t go that way, so it’s okay,” which meant that the chance did not come up.
How long did “How I Met Your Mother” last?
HIMYM ran on CBS for nine popular seasons, from 2005 to 2014. Its Hulu version, starring Hilary Duff, ran for only two seasons, from 2022 to 2023, before being dropped. Which group members came back for
“How I Met Your Father”?
During its run, many actors who had parts on HIMYM before came back to play the same characters. For example, Cobie Smulders played Robin Scherbatsky again, and Neil Patrick Harris played Barney Stinson. This shows how the original show has left a lasting impression.
What did the rest of the group think about the spinoff?
Jason Segel said he would be interested in being in the spinoff, but Alyson Hannigan said she wasn’t ready to watch it, even though her husband Alexis Denisof was going to be in it as Sandy Rivers. What project do Thomas and
Radnor plan to work on next?
Thomas and Radnor talked about working together on a new project at a recent benefit event. They hinted that it would be shown off in the spring but didn’t say much else.
Summary:
HIMYM co-creator Craig Thomas said that Josh Radnor's absence from "How I Met Your Father" was because there wasn't enough interesting artistic direction.
