The series also stars Daniel Augustin, Francia Raisa (Grown-ish), Tom Ainsley (Versailles), Tien Tran (Space Force), Suraj Sharma (God Friended Me), Chris Lowell (Arrow), Josh Peck (Drake and Josh) and Ashley Reyes (American Gods).
Raisa will play Valentina, Sophie’s (Duff) roommate. She’s an aspiring stylist and Sophie’s great friend. She’s impulsive and adventurous and Sophie relies on Valentina’s ability to cheer her up when she gets down. Valentina has just come back from London Fashion Week with the gorgeous, British Charlie. Ainsley plays Charlie, an aspiring model who fell in love with Sophie’s roommate Valentina (Raisa) (an aspiring stylist) at London Fashion Week and followed her to New York. The son of conservative aristocrats, Charlie’s a great guy but he’s been living in a rich person’s bubble his whole life. Tran is Ellen, Jesse’s adopted sister, who just moved to New York from a small farming town after separating from her wife. Ellen’s more comfortable on an organic lettuce field than in a Brooklyn dive bar. Sharma portrays Sid, Jesse’s best friend and roommate. He’s a new bar owner and plays the optimist to Jesse’s cynicism.
Peck will play the vice principal at Jesse’s (Lowell) elementary school, while Reyes will play Sid’s (Sharma) girlfriend named Hannah. Since she’s a surgical resident in Los Angeles, the two are forced to maintain a long-distance relationship.
Carter Bays and Craig Thomas are co-executive producers of How I Met Your Father with showrunners Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger. Duff also produces the series, which will use a multi- and single-camera approach similar to its predecessor.
