How I Met Your Dad

How I Met Your Dad is a television pilot created by How I Met Your Mother's Carter Bays and Craig Thomas alongside Emily Spivey. The series was developed as a spin-off following Sally, a New York woman navigating life after her divorce. Unsure of her direction, Sally lives with her close circle of friends while piecing together the story of how she met her daughter's father. The show was set to debut in 2014 but never moved beyond the pilot stage when 20th Television declined to order it to series. Though shelved indefinitely, the premise offered a female-led counterpart to the original show's romantic comedy format, exploring themes of self-discovery and relationships in the city.
