CBS Not Moving Forward With ‘How I Met Your Dad’

Posted on the 14 May 2014 by Sirmac2 @macthemovieguy

CBS finally made a decision on one of its few remaining pilots, the spinoff to How I Met Your Mother. Starring Greta Gerwig, the sitcom came from the same creators and studio as How I Met Your Dad, and some news sites (not this one) reported that How I Met Your Dad was picked up to series… because why not? It turns out that CBS didn’t feel the pilot was strong enough, and even offered to order a reshoot. But, because the reshoot didn’t guarantee a series order, the production team refused the deal, and we are now left with a dead series. It is possible to shop the show around, but it’s unlikely that another net will bite.
