'How I Met Your Mother' Cast: Where Are They Now?

When it comes to How I Met Your Mother, one word spurs to mind: legendary! 

From September 2005 to March 2014, the beloved CBS sitcom whisked viewers away to MacLaren's Pub and helped skyrocket the careers of Josh Radnor, Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris, Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segel across nine seasons. Narrated by the late Bob Saget as Future Ted, this 10-time Emmy-winning series saw Ted Mosby (Radnor) recount the story to his two children of how he met their mother — hence the title — through flashbacks of his life in New York City with his close-knit friends.

Following the show's success, a spinoff titled How I Met Your Father — starring Hilary Duff and featuring cameos from the original cast — ran for two seasons from 2022 to 2023 before being canceled by Hulu. 

In 2023, How I Met Your Mother celebrated its 18th anniversary, prompting Radnor to share a nostalgic throwback photo of the cast. 

"I am immensely grateful to have been part of a show that continues to mean so much to so many people," Radnor wrote in his caption. "It's hard to fully appreciate something like that in the moment but all these years later I got nothing but love for that show and the people I made it with."

So grab your yellow umbrella and catch up to what the stars of How I Met Your Mother have been up to since the controversial series finale.

Josh Radnor as Ted Mosby

Radnor played Ted Mosby, an architect living in N.Y.C. with his best friends. Throughout the series, fans rooted for the show's most relatable character, who remained determined to find true love in the big city.

Though he played Mosby on-screen, Full House's Saget voiced Mosby as the show's narrator. After a nine-season run on the show, Radnor went on to play Dr. Jedediah Foster on the TV drama Mercy Street, Adam Epstein in the FX miniseries Fleishman Is in Trouble andLonny Flash on the mystery-crime series Hunters — in addition to some theater work and releasing several studio albums.

In November 2023, the actor and singer revealed his engagement to then-unnamed Jordana Jacobs, a clinical psychologist he had met at his friend's "psychedelic" event. The couple later tied the knot in a snow-covered ceremony in January 2024.

Alyson Hannigan as Lily Aldrin

After appearing in the American Pie film series, Hannigan portrayed one-half of the show's fan-favorite couple, Lily Aldrin — a kindergarten teacher–turned–art consultant to the Captain. Lily was married to Marshall "Marshmallow" Eriksen (Segel), and the two eventually welcomed son Marvin and daughter Daisy. (Spoiler alert: On the final episode, Aldrin reveals she's expecting a third.)

Following HIMYM, Hannigan voiced Claire Clancy on the animated series Fancy Nancy, played Dr. Ann Possible in the 2019 Kim Possible live-action reboot film and competed on season 32 of Dancing with the Stars in 2023, finishing in fifth place.

She married her Buffy the Vampire Slayer costar, Alexis Denisof, in 2003, and they share two daughters.

Cristin Milioti as Tracy McConnell

After seasons and seasons of suspense, Tracy McConnell — played by Cristin Milioti — was revealed to be Ted's wife and mother to their two children. Fans eventually found out that McConnell died from an unnamed illness, which prompted Mosby to share with his kids the story of how he met their mother. (And also kicked off one of the most controversial series finales ... ever.)

Milioti expanded her TV résumé with roles on Fargo, The Mindy Project, Made for Love and The Resort, and co-starred alongside Andy Samberg in the 2020 Hulu rom-com Palm Springs. According to Deadline, the actress is also set to star opposite Colin Farrell as Sofia Falcone on Max's The Batman limited spinoff series, The Penguin.
