HIMYF's finale included quite a cameo — and it was ominous for a reason. 'We’re coming back and doing 20 more. There’s a lot more to tell,' Isaac Aptaker tells us. Spoilers ahead:
broke down the finale episode, gave details about Robin’s surprise appearance and talked about what’s coming in Season 2.Isaac Aptaker
Was it always going to be Robin, or were there discussions about Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Neil Patrick Harris or Alyson Hannigan?: There were absolutely discussions, and there continue to be discussions about who else would be fun and what way they’ll be utilized. This sort of clicked in very early and felt right. We loved the idea of them having this talk woman-to-woman and commiserating about their love lives and about timing.
Well, MacLaren’s as a location was such a big character in the original too. Now that the set is up again, will you be20th Television has this warehouse on the outskirts of L.A. where they keep all these iconic sets from their long-running shows. We weren’t sure if we were gonna have to build it from scratch. And then lo and behold, just like with the guys’ apartment — the walls of it at least, were just there waiting for us.
This finale ended with Meredith and Jesse kissing. What can you say of how much Leighton will be in Season 2?We don’t want to say too much. Obviously, we see them kiss at the end of the season, so there’s definitely still something there. That being said, we think it’s possible that viewers could think they break away from that kiss and Jesse says, “Oh, my God. What did I do?” and backs away from her or there’s a possibility that they’re headed off together.
