The midseason finale of How I Met Your Father is underway, and it will feature the show’s most amazing cameo so far. Neil Patrick Harris will return to reprise the role of Barney Stinson from the original How I Met Your Mother series.
Harris was one of the key cast members of the original show’s ensemble, and the role of womanizing playboy Barney Stinson put him on the map. He gave us many iconic catchphrases during his run on the show and scored four Primetime Emmy Award nominations for his performance.
How I Met Your Father explores a similar concept as the original show, but with a new set of characters. It centers on Sophie (Hilary Duff), a hopelessly romantic photographer looking for her one true love in New York City.
Harris isn’t the first cast member of How I Met Your Mother to appear in the spinoff series. Cobie Smulders made a cameo as Robin Scherbatsky, and Kyle MacLachlan, Laura Bell Bundy, and Alexis Denisof also came back to reprise their recurring roles from the original show.
The midseason finale of How I Met Your Father will premiere on Hulu on March 28, and the show will take a brief hiatus before continuing its 20-episode second season run on May 23.
