It was only a matter of time. With “How I Met Your Mother” having been firmly established as one of television’s premier comedies–the CBS sitcom just celebrated its 100th episode–creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas are officially working on a new show.<\/p>\n
The duo recently renewed its deal with 20th Century Fox; in addition to resuming their duties on “How I Met,” the two will also begin working on new projects.<\/p>\n
The two will not be taking a risk with their first new project. According to THR, the new potential pilot, for which Bays and Thomas developed a spec with Kourtney Kang and Joe Kelly, is set in Pittsburgh and will focus on a young couple and its friends. “How I Met Your Mother,” by comparison, centers on a group of five young adults, two of whom are married (and were engaged at the time of the show’s pilot).<\/p>\n
“The new show is similar tonally to ‘How I Met Your Mother’ and investigates the next chapter, the next stage of adulthood,” says Bays.<\/p>\n
Though the new series is expected to generate heat when it hits the market this week, Bays and Thomas have reportedly vowed not to relinquish their duties on “How I Met.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
