“That's Not How It Happened”. Alyson Hannigan Has an Idea for a How I Met Your Mother Spin-Off That Would Change the Original Story

As a devoted fan who has followed the hilarious antics of the gang from How I Met Your Mother for nearly a decade, the idea of revisiting this beloved series from a fresh perspective truly excites me. Alyson Hannigan‘s proposal to age the characters and have Marshall tell the story is an intriguing twist that could breathe new life into the franchise.


“For nearly a decade, ‘How I Met Your Mother’, a cherished sitcom, has been captivating audiences worldwide. However, its final episode stirred controversy among fans. Despite this division, many continue to yearn for another look at the tale or to track the journey of the fresh characters introduced in the spin-off.”

One of the stars of How I Met Your Mother, Alyson Hannigan, has an idea for another TV show from this world, which could be called a remake of sorts, as the actress would like to tell the same story as in the original production, but from a different perspective, and with some changes. In order for the former actors to return, she would like to age the characters. And the story this time would be told not by the older Ted, but by Marshall played by Jason Segel. The artist talked about it in an interview with People.

“Actually, that’s not quite accurate. To clarify, we were much older at the time…” After straightening things out, we could simply replay the event for better understanding.

It’s intriguing to consider Hannigan’s point that “each person narrates their own unique version of events.” Fans might find it fascinating to hear Marshall’s account, as they share this curiosity. However, it’s not likely that Marshall’s recollections would differ drastically from Ted’s, given their shared experiences.

At the moment, we’re unsure if there are any plans to resurrect the How I Met Your Mother TV series in any shape or form. Following the termination of How I Met Your Father after two seasons in 2023, there has been an eerie silence regarding potential future projects from the creators.
