Kim Cattrall cast as the older Hilary Duff on 'How I Met Your Father'

Kim Cattrall is the new Bob Saget.

Sort of.

Saget narrated "How I Met Your Mother" as the unseen older version of Ted, played by Josh Radnor, for the duration of the beloved CBS sitcom's nine seasons. According to Deadline, Cattrall has joined Hulu's spinoff series "How I Met Your Father" in a similar capacity.

"Cattrall will play the future version of Hilary Duff’s character Sophie, who is telling her son the story of how she met his father, much like Josh Radnor (and Bob Saget’s) Ted Mosby did in the original series. Sophie’s story will transport audiences back to the year 2021 where she and her close-knit group of friends — Jesse (Chris Lowell), Valentina (Francia Raisa), Charlie (Tom Ainsley), Ellen (Tien Tran) and Sid (Suraj Sharma) — are in the midst of figuring out who they are, what they want out of life, and how to fall in love in the age of dating apps and limitless options."

It was announced in April that Hulu had given "How I Met Your Father" a straight-to-series order with Duff attached to star in the leading role.

Duff shared glimpses from set in August and early September.

As for Cattrall, the five-time Emmy nominee opted not to rejoin her "Sex and the City" costars for their HBO Max limited series reboot "And Just Like That..." — an unsurprising move, to say the least.
