Arthur actress and co-writer of Frances Ha Greta Gerwig has been picked to star in the CBS spinoff of âHow I Met Your Mother,â the cleverly titled âHow I Met Your Dad.â
Craveâs Coming Soon site carried the announcement Wednesday. Assuming âDadâ sticks to the âHIMYMâ format (and it seems like it probably will since thatâs the whole point of a âMotherâ spinoff anyway), Gerwig will star as the ringleader of a group of friends engaging in wacky hijinks as she recounts how she met her future husband.
The show is on the CBS schedule for next fall.
