Looking to watch How I Met Your Father season 2? US fans can watch new episode on Hulu from January 24. The spin-off to the phenomenally popular How I Met Your Mother stars Hilary Duff and centres around a group of BBFs navigating love and life New York City – just as Ted, Marshall and Lily did 10 years prior. You can catch up with this amicable bunch with our guide below detailing how to watch How I Met Your Father season 2 online.

*Warning – some season 1 spoilers ahead*

Created by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, this series sequel to the OG adopts the same format. This time it’s Sophie (whose future self is played by Kim Cattrall) who’s narrating the story of her long and convoluted romance with her son’s father.

Season one saw Sophie (Hilary Duff) experience something special with aspiring musician Jesse (Chris Lowell). Yet she was spooked by his somnambulistic declaration of love and drove him back into the arms of his ex-girlfriend, Meredith. And then her perfect Tinder date Ian (Daniel Augustin, Rap Sh!t) from the show’s pilot returned for the season finale – meaning her love life is about to get a whole lot more complicated.

At least she has supportive pals Valentina (Francia Raisa), Charlie (Tom Ainsley), Ellen (Tien Tran) and bar-owner Sid (Suraj Sharma) to raise her spirits during any heartache.

Will they/won’t they/did they? We’re getting closer to finding out. Just read our guide below, which explains how to watch How I Met Your Father season 2 online from anywhere now.

How to save money on Disney+

Disney Plus is already cheaper than competing streaming services like Netflix, but you can save even more when you sign up for an annual subscription that gives you 15% off the monthly price. Obviously you have to splash the cash at the start, but with so much content to get stuck into, we very much doubt you'll run out of things to watch before the 12 months are up. You're looking at CA$119.99/£79.90/AU$139.99 for the year.

What else should I know about Disney+?

How I Met Your Father season 2 is just the latest in a string of highly-anticipated releases exclusive to the platform, including Andor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Ms. Marvel and Werewolf By Night. Plus, there's plenty more on the way, such as The Mandalorian season 3, X-Men-97 and Loki season 2, all set to arrive in the coming weeks and months.

The streaming service has apps for iOS and Android (of course), and is available to watch online via the likes of Amazon Fire TV Stick, PS4, Xbox One and Roku streaming devices.

How I Met Your Father is available on the platform thanks to the new Star on Disney Plus that most global markets get to enjoy, which has seen the amount of content available through Disney Plus more than double, with a particular eye to shows grown-ups are going to enjoy. 

It's available in Canada, most of Europe, the UK, and other select markets like Australia and New Zealand - but not in the US, where the media giant's Hulu service already has very similar ground covered.
