Craig Thomas was asked about the cast for the spin-off at TCA Press Tour, and he said that no one has been cast yet.
Has anyone been cast in the spin-off pilot?
Not yet. “We’re meeting people but no one is cast yet.”

Tassler also revealed that How I Met Your Father, the spinoff of How I Met Your Mother, was pitched to her by the show's creators Craig Thomas and Carter Bays (not the other way around). And the new series, starring Lindsay Fonseca, will closely follow the original HIMYM structure.
"Craig and Carter really broke new ground in terms of developing a new form of comedy and a new mythology and they wanted to keep that going," Tassler explains. "Obviously they're tweaking it somewhat but they just came in with a great pitch, great characters, much like how they did with How I Met Your Mother. In this regard, it is a spinoff. It is Carter and Craig and they are bringing in Emily Spivey, but the way the show is structured and the way the story is told, the way the characters will come to learn about the dad it does follow in form like How I Met Your Mother."

OMG YES I love her !
ReplyDeleteI sincerely doubt such a major piece of casting could come out like that. But I WOULD BE SO HAPPY if it was true!
ReplyDeleteI like Lindsay Fonseca since Big Love and Desperate Housewives. They got my attention now.
ReplyDeleteI doubt E!'s credibility too, but network executives are known to let slip major things in interviews.
ReplyDeleteSo Ted's daughter will meet her husband? lol anyways i love her so if this is true i'm in! :)
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to see this but is the main character the daughter of Ted or is she a totally different/new character? This sounds great though!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm wondering. That would be amazing. I know that they've said that they want this to be totally separate from the original show, but it would be pretty freaking awesome to get an episode or 2 with her aunt and uncles. :)
ReplyDeleteI think (if this is in fact true), she will still be Ted's daughter. That would grab the attention of some of HIMYM's viewers.
ReplyDeleteCameos would be easier this way, but it could also do a Korra and never leave the shadow of the previous show if done badly.
ReplyDeleteI hope this is true. I absolutely freaking love Fonseca.
ReplyDeleteI like Fonseca but I hope this show bombs to stop this spin-off fever.
ReplyDeleteFor HER, I'd totally watch it! Yay if it's true! ;)
ReplyDeleteThat could make for some guest appearances of HIMYM's cast later on in the series.
ReplyDeleteAnd I was afraid I wouldn't see that pretty face on TV again ever since Nikita has ended. Let's hope for the best!
ReplyDeleteThat would be really interesting.
ReplyDeleteSo they would set the show in 2040 or thereabouts? If they actually are using Ted's daughter as the actress and character?
ReplyDelete*Lyndsy Fonseca. And OMG that would be AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteoh that'd be great! let's see what happens! :)
ReplyDeleteWould she play Ted's daughter? That seems odd because then the show should be set in 2030 or something.
ReplyDeletei don't really know, but if she's cast it would be weird to play a different character lol but anything can be possible! :)
ReplyDeleteIf its really her, and if she is Ted's Daughter I would watch it. For now since I heard about the Spin off I have been in the Mood of I don't want to watch it.
