CBS Films have confirmed a movie sequel to the popular series How I Met Your Mother is in development, with a planned release in 2018 after a leaked screenplay earlier revealed many key plot points.
All five main cast members are set to return alongside “the Mother” who is rumored to be set for a miraculous return.
Creator, Carter Bays say the social media backlash they acknowledged from the original ending forced the show’s creators to imagine how Milioti’s character may be reintroduced and they believe they’ve “cracked it”.
According to the leaked script, Ted’s story begins in the immediate aftermath of the Mother’s funeral in 2024. Just as Mosby’s two children sit up from the couch, jaded from the 9-year story they’ve just endured, Ted will ask them if they’d like to hear the story of how he tried to bring about their mother’s resurrection.
Shortly after the funeral, a grief stricken Mosby reunites with Robin and dates her for a short time. “Things start off great for Ted and Robin,” star Josh Radnor confirmed to FM News. “As they’re so happy to be finally together after all these years. Barney is back too, living with us, sharing a room with the two kids. Of course Marshall, Lily and their kids live downstairs, so naturally hilarity ensues,” he said laughing loudly.
Ultimately Ted and Robin realize they are incompatible and vow to remain just friends. Although the storyline of the movie will largely centre around Ted’s desperate struggle to revive his deceased wife, the character of Robin features heavily due to their off again, on again relationship.
