With just a few weeks left until the How I Met Your Mother series finale, we are now learning about the five new characters that will anchor How I Met Your Dad.

As we say goodbye to Ted, Marshall, Lily, Barney and Robin – characters we’ve grown familiar with and close to – we get to welcome the new gang: Sally, Juliet, Danny, Todd and Frank. Sally will be the ‘new’ Ted, as an older Sally will narrate the series. No word on who has been cast for which role yet, but we expect that news to be coming in the next few months.

The character descriptions originally came from TV Line and, simply because it’s natural to compare HIMYD against HIMYM, it’s pretty clear to make the character connections between the two shows.

Sally: Vibrant, messy and unpredictable — a “female Peter Pan who has never grown up and has no idea of where she’s going in life.” She’s thinking of calling it quits with her husband of a year, Gavin. She’ll lean on her circle of friends for advice and support through the inevitable divorce.

Juliet: Sally’s sexy, flamboyant, energetic, party-girl BFF. She runs a successful fashion blog. She’s delighted to learn Sally is ending things with the terminally boring Gavin.

Danny: Sally’s older gay brother, a Type A, overachieving lawyer whom she shares little in common with. They nonetheless share a tight bond, although Sally’s decision to move in with Danny after her split with Gavin promises to test that bond.

Todd: Danny’s warm, outgoing husband and one of Sally’s closest friends from college. Unlike Danny, Todd welcomes Sally into their home.

Frank: The head of IT for Juliet’s fashion blog. He’s a hot nerd. He has genuine feelings for Sally, but it’s a one-sided flirtation. At least for the moment.

There will also be a narrator for the series, an older Sally, “reliving the events of her past to her kids.”

The characters are decidedly from the Millennial generation – where Robin was striving to be a broadcast journalist, we have Juliet, the successful fashion blogger. Additionally, another HIMYM parallel is that Danny the lawyer is also one half of the married couple on the show. How I Met Your Dad‘s Sally will be starting her life at a different point than Ted did nine years ago.

Instead of helplessly looking for love, Sally apparently thought she found hers, but something happens to make her divorce her husband. Given we don’t have a description about him, we can assume Gavin will not be a important role on the show.

What actors and actresses could you see filling the How I Met Your Dad roles?

Although the show is not a done deal quite yet, we feel confident in the Craig Thomas and Carter Bays team and CBS to pull together another hit comedy. How I Met Your Mother just celebrated a milestone 200th episode last week, and we had more insight into the Mother’s mind than ever before.
