With the recent news of How I Met Your Father’s cancelation, things are not looking good for a device that used to be instrumental to the sitcom form, the laugh track. How I Met Your Father, which was canceled after only 2 seasons at Hulu, told the story of a tight-knit friend group’s attempts to navigate romance and modern life, framed as a story told by protagonist Sophie (Hilary Duff) to her young son. The series took its lead from its hugely successful predecessor, How I Met Your Mother, which aired on CBS for 9 seasons from 2005-2014. Despite the promising start, How I Met Your Father season 3 will not happen.
