According to Variety, Greta Gerwig is taking over the “How I Met Your Mother” spin-off. Not only is she set to star in the series but also write and produce.
Gerwig will play Sally, a female Peter Pan who has no idea of where she’s going in life and has never grown up. Sally has realized she has nothing in common with her husband of less than a year. A breakup is inevitable, but Sally will find a solid circle of support in her friends and family, who are often too willing to give “good” advice that can backfire. Sally must filter out the input, and decide what’s best for her.
What do you think HIMYM fans? Are you interested? We were lucky enough to be at the Young Hollywood panel at AFI Fest this past November where Greta spoke about her projects, interests and journey into the business. She’s a very passionate, talented young woman and it’s great to see her taking over! She also was just nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in FRANCES HA (Which she also co-wrote). Talk about girl power!
