A HIMYM Spinoff Featuring the Kids—How Would You Feel About This?

Okay, hear me out—what if we got a How I Met Your Mother spinoff featuring the kids of the original gang?

The show could follow Marvin (Marshall & Lily’s son), Luke & Penny (Ted’s kids), and Ellie (Barney’s daughter) navigating adulthood in NYC, dealing with careers, relationships, and friendships—all while occasionally crossing paths with their legendary parents.

Here’s how I imagine them:

  • Ellie Stinson (Barney’s Daughter) – The Chaos Queen
    • Basically the female version of Barney, but adapted for modern dating. (Her dad Barney told her ALL the tricks men will try to do. And taught her how to beat THEM at their own game)
    • Confident, ridiculously charming, and always five steps ahead of everyone.
    • Probably runs a dating empire or turns The Playbook into a viral trend.
    • Pretends she doesn’t believe in love but might actually have a soft side.
  • Marvin Eriksen (Marshall & Lily’s Son) – The Goofy Dreamer
    • Has Marshall’s big heart and weird sense of humor but struggles to find his path.
    • Maybe tries being a lawyer but really wants to be a comedian, game show host, or something totally unexpected.
    • The awkward, lovable one of the group who keeps them grounded.
  • Luke Mosby (Ted’s Son) – The Hopeless Romantic
    • Ted 2.0—loves grand gestures, overthinks relationships, and believes in soulmates.
    • Writes letters to his “future wife” and probably falls too fast for people.
    • Constantly gets roasted by Ellie for being “too soft.”
    • Could have a wild love story arc that breaks him out of his dad’s shadow.
  • Penny Mosby (Ted’s Daughter) – The Pragmatic Leader 🏗️
    • Basically the cooler Mosby sibling.
    • Logical, ambitious, and career-driven (maybe an architect like Ted).
    • Doesn’t believe in fate—thinks love is a choice, not destiny.
    • Probably the “mom” of the group but has her own rebellious side.

I’d love to see guest appearances from the original cast, especially Marshall & Lily dropping in for parenting moments, or Robin still being a badass journalist.

Also… what if Luke & Ellie had a messy situationship at some point? idk idk

Would you watch this??
