The Cast of How I Met Your Father Is What Barney Stinson Would Call, "Legendary"

Much like Ted from the original series, Sophie serves as the narrator and lead of How I Met Your Father, telling her son the story of how his parents met. "I've been incredibly lucky in my career to play some wonderful characters and I'm looking forward to taking on the role of Sophie," Duff previously said of her casting to Deadline. "As a huge fan of How I Met Your Mother, I'm honoured and even a little nervous that Carter and Craig would trust me with the sequel of their baby. Isaac and Elizabeth are brilliant, and I can't wait to work alongside them and all of their genius."

An aspiring stylist with an impulsive side, Valentina is also Sophie's best friend and roommate. When she returns from London Fashion Week, she has some big news for her friend . . . she's brought back a new boyfriend. Raísa is best known for her roles as Leti in Bring It On: All or Nothing, Adrian Lee on The Secret Life of the American Teenager, and Ana Torres on Grown-ish.

Although he wants to be a musician, Jesse moonlights as an Uber driver in order to pay his bills. Cynical about love, he's a friend of Sophie's that currently lives with his best friend Sid. No stranger to television, Lowell has had several starring roles on shows like Veronica Mars, Private Practice, and Netflix's GLOW. He also had small roles in 2011's The Help and 2020's Promising Young Woman.

Ellen is Jesse's adoptive sister, who decides to move to New York City after separating from her wife. Struggling to feel at home in a big city, she gravitates towards Jesse and his friends. While How I Met Your Father may be one of Tran's biggest roles to date, she's also been on Space Force, Hot Date, and has a role in 2021's Candyman.

They say opposites attract, which explains why optimist Sid is best friends and roommates with the cynical Jesse. Sid is the owner of a bar which makes us wonder, is it the new McLarens Pub or Puzzles finally realised? Since his breakout role as Pi Patel in 2012's Life of Pi, Sharma has had roles on Homeland, God Friended Me, and Little America.

Wealthy Charlie is an aspiring model who falls for Valentina during London Fashion Week. On an impulse, he follows her to New York City once fashion week is over. This role seems tailor-made for Ainsley, who is best known for his roles as the adorable Nick Roane on The Royals and the sexy Benoît on Versailles.
