'How I Met Your Dad' pilot dead; To be redeveloped
Quote:
A source close to the How I Met Your Mother spin-off confirms that the pilot — which was rejected at CBS and subsequently shopped around to other networks — is officially dead.
However, according to the insider, the project will be redeveloped by 20th TV for the 2015-2016 TV season.
Should Dad get a second chance, a new cast would likely be brought in to replace Gerwig & Co. (all of whom were released from their contracts at the end of June).
It'll probably come back in some form with some of the original cast returning for the pilot and look at a new person's life. Like Lily and Marshall and another friend of theirs.
