HULU has canceled How I Met Your Father after airing just two seasons of the popular spinoff series.
The show served as a follow-up to How I Met Your Mother, and featured cameos by original cast members Cobie Smulders and Neil Patrick Harris.
Hulu confirmed that How I Met Your Father would not return for a third season on Friday, according to Deadline.
The show was helmed by Hilary Duff and starred Kim Cattrall, Chris Lowell, Francia Raisa, Tom Ainsley, and Tien Tran.
It was written by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger and built upon the story developed on How I Met Your Mother.
The pair served as executive producers on the show alongside How I Met Your Mother creators Carter Bays, Craig Thomas, and the original series director and executive producer Pam Fryman.

The show debuted in 2022 – eight years after the last episode of How I Met Your Mother aired.
None of the original cast was featured as a series regular on the spinoff series.
Some of the cast of How I Met Your Father lived in the same apartment occupied by Josh Radnor (Ted) and Jason Segel (Marshall) on How I Met Your Mother, however.

After news of the show's axing broke, frustrated fans flocked to X – formerly known as Twitter – to express their disappointment.
