How many episodes are in ‘How I Met Your Father’ Season 2?

The first season of How I Met Your Father had a standard 10-episode run. However, season 2 received a supersized order of 20 episodes, bringing the show a little closer to the style of its predecessor, How I Met Your Mother.

“[Audiences are] accustomed to sitcom seasons being longer, and when they’re longer, you get more time for those episodes where the group is hanging out and having a wild night out,” HIMYF co-creator Isaac Aptaker told TVLine last year. “Those episodes don’t necessarily advance the plot in a huge way but are sometimes the best episodes when it comes to these hangout shows.”

Like season 1, the new batch of episodes will run for about 25 minutes each. Next-episode shared the alleged leaked titles for the first 11 episodes:

  • Episode 1: “Cool and Chill”
  • Episode 2: “Midwife Crisis”
  • Episode 3: “The Reset Button”
  • Episode 4: “Pathetic Deirdre”
  • Episode 5: “Ride or Die”
  • Episode 6: “Universal Therapy”
  • Episode 7: “A Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Valentina’s Day”
  • Episode 8: “Rewardishment”
  • Episode 9: “The Welcome Protocol”
  • Episode 10: “I’m His Swish”
  • Episode 11: “Daddy”

Fans should note that these episode titles are not yet confirmed and are subject to change.
