Updated 11th July: Carter Bays has denied the following report from TVLine.
I don't know why I keep reading articles about this, but since nobody bothers asking us: We are really, truly not working on HIMYD anymore.
— Carter Bays (@CarterBays) July 11, 2014HIMYD was fun to work on, terrific cast, terrific writer, but it's over now and we have other stuff we want to do.
— Carter Bays (@CarterBays) July 11, 2014Maybe in the future it could be something, but I think we need to try something new before we go back to it.
— Carter Bays (@CarterBays) July 11, 2014To everyone who wanted to see it, I'm sorry. (And to everyone who didn't, you're welcome!)
— Carter Bays (@CarterBays) July 11, 2014(Oh and by "terrific writer" I of course meant @spivey_e who is indeed terrific and Craig and I miss terribly!)
— Carter Bays (@CarterBays) July 11, 2014According to the insider, the project will be redeveloped by 20th TV for the 2015-2016 TV season. I’m told HIMYD cocreators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas remain invested in keeping the Mother franchise going, and the pair have a lot of boosters at CBS (namely network chairwoman Nina Tassler).
Should Dad get a second chance, a new cast would likely be brought in to replace Gerwig & Co. (all of whom were released from their contracts at the end of June).
