Unanswered mysteries! Delve into the unresolved questions after the cancellation of How I Met Your Father Discover the enigma of the father, relationships left untangled, hidden secrets, and plans for captivating HIMYM cameos Explore the depths of what Hulu's HIMYF left unanswered
Summary
Fans of How I Met Your Father will never know the answers to important questions about the father's identity and the future of the characters.
The show hinted at possible romances and relationships between characters such as Sophie and Sid. However, whether these storylines would have been developed remains a mystery to viewers.
With the cancelation of How I Met Your Father, fans will be deprived of the opportunity to see beloved characters from How I Met Your Mother make cameo appearances, further intensifying their disappointment.
Regrettably, Hulu has decided to cancel How I Met Your Father after just 30 episodes. This comes a few months following the conclusion of its second season and ultimately marks the end of the series. Despite being a spin-off of the popular CBS show How I Met Your Mother, How I Met Your Father never quite reached the same level of success. However, the quality of the show significantly improved in its second season, which consisted of 20 episodes compared to the first season's 10. Despite this improvement, the show was unable to escape cancellation, and Hulu made the decision to end it in September 2023.
The cancellation of How I Met Your Father is disappointing for fans, as it means they may never get the answers to many lingering questions. The entire premise of the show revolves around the mystery of the father's identity, which naturally leads to numerous inquiries. Unless the executive producers and showrunners choose to reveal their plans for the remainder of the series, viewers can only speculate and theorize about the answers to these ten questions.
10 Who Was The Father In HIMYF?
9 Were Sophie & Sid Ever Going To Get Together?
Undoubtedly, the most burning inquiry plaguing the minds of fervent fans revolves around the enigmatic persona responsible for fathering the child in the series How I Met Your Father. After the season 2 finale concluded, seemingly eliminating Charlie as a viable option, the remaining contenders for this coveted title included Jesse, Sid, Ian, and Drew. Although the last episode concluded with Sophie and Jesse openly declaring their deep affection, the narrative was far from over. In this captivating storyline, anyone had the possibility of being designated as the father, even an unfamiliar face to the viewers.
A popular theory among How I Met Your Father fans suggested that in the future, Sophie and Sid would form a romantic relationship, with Sid ultimately revealed to be the father of her son. This twist would have been unexpected, considering Sid's close friendship with Jesse and the absence of any obvious romantic connection between him and Sophie. However, as is often the case, feelings can develop gradually over time, and keen fans picked up on subtle hints that pointed to Sid's potential paternity. Perhaps the most compelling evidence was Hannah's assumption that Sophie was the woman Sid had been involved with during season 2.
8 Did Sophie & Jesse Eventually Break Up?
7 What Came Of Val & Drew's Hookup?
Instead of staying together until the end of the series, Sophie and Jesse probably would have had an on-and-off relationship like Ted and Robin, considering the chronological order of events in How I Met Your Mother. This would have allowed the writers to maintain the suspense about the identity of the father throughout multiple seasons.
In a surprising turn of events, Val and Drew found solace in each other during the season 2 finale of How I Met Your Father. Struggling with the heartbreak caused by separate rejections from Charlie and Sophie, they sought comfort in the storage room at Pemberton's. Their despair quickly transformed into passion as they engaged in an intense makeout session. However, despite this unexpected connection, Future Sophie ominously revealed that Val and Drew's relationship turned out to be a "total disaster" (despite its subsequent positive impact on Val's life). Unfortunately, the fate of Val and Drew's fling and how it influenced the revival of Val and Charlie's relationship remains a mystery, leaving fans in suspense.
6 When Did Charlie Change His Mind About Having Kids With Valentina?
5 How Did Sophie Get Her Picture Of Jesse Back?
revealed that Val and Drew had a romantic relationship. Later, Future Sophie informed everyone that Val and Charlie eventually reconciled and had a son named Alex. This news came as a surprise to many, as they had previously broken up due to their conflicting desires regarding having children. It seems that Charlie must have had a change of heart at some point, but unfortunately, fans of How I Met Your Father will never get to witness how that storyline unfolded.
The picture of Jesse, taken by Sophie, was lost when it inadvertently remained on the back seat of a taxi, causing the car to drive away with it during season 2 of How I Met Your Father. However, glimpses into the future reveal that Sophie ultimately retrieves the artwork and vows to share the story behind its recovery with her son. Regrettably, due to the cancellation of How I Met Your Father on Hulu, viewers will forever remain ignorant of the outcome.
4 When Did Sophie & Ian Go On Their Valentine's Date?
During the Valentine's Day episode in season 2 of How I Met Your Father, the audience caught a fleeting glimpse of a future scene featuring Sophie and Ian enjoying a date on this romantic holiday. This suggests that Sophie and Jesse most likely went through a break-up (potentially temporary), leading Sophie to rekindle her relationship with Ian. The timeline of this situation and when Ian reentered Sophie's life, however, remains unknown to fans.
3 Did Sid & Hannah Get A Divorce?
Hannah admitted to Sid that she had been unfaithful in the season 2 finale of How I Met Your Father. While Sid promised to forgive his wife, he couldn't hide his lingering disappointment. As they continued their conversation, it became evident that their marriage was nearing its end and divorce was unavoidable. Though they didn't utter the term "divorce," the sadness that enveloped Sid's face after their talk hinted at the challenging road that lay ahead for both him and Hannah.
2 Why Didn't Future Sophie Wear A Wedding Ring?
Kim Cattrall's character, Sophie, noticeably omitted wearing a wedding ring in her scenes on the TV show How I Met Your Father, which raises the possibility that she may not be married in the future. It is worth considering, however, that this might be a deliberate misdirection and that Sophie simply had her ring cleaned during those particular scenes. Nevertheless, this detail adds an intriguing element to the ongoing quest to uncover the true identity of the father. It is plausible that Sophie and the father may have drifted apart or never tied the knot. Regardless, fans of How I Met Your Father will forever be left in the dark, unable to definitively answer this question.
1 What Was The Plan For More HIMYM Cameos?
Both Cobie Smulders, portraying Robin Scherbatsky, and Neil Patrick Harris, as Barney Stinson, were prominent cast members of How I Met Your Mother. They also made special appearances in How I Met Your Father. It was undoubtedly intended for the other three main actors, Josh Radnor as Ted Mosby, Jason Segel as Marshall Eriksen, and Alyson Hannigan as Lily Aldrin, to also return. In a well-timed manner, Robin and Barney's cameos coincided with the events in Sophie's life. The same would have been expected for the final three cameos. Regrettably, fans will never witness the interactions between Hilary Duff's Sophie and Ted, Marshall, and Lily in How I Met Your Father.
