As fans are preparing to say goodbye to one of TV’s most popular comedies, How I Met Your Mother, CBS is looking to extend the franchise. I’ve learned that the network is in talks with HIMYM producer 20th Century Fox TV for a spinoff series, which takes a female spin on the original show。
老爸老媽的浪漫史》的劇迷們即將要跟電視史上最受歡迎情景喜劇說再見了,不過CBS電視臺打算將這種歡樂延續(xù)。deadline網(wǎng)站記者獲知,CMS電視臺正在與制作《老爸老媽的浪漫史》的20世紀(jì)?怂股套h,計劃推出一部衍生劇,與原劇不同,衍生劇將從女性視角展開。
Referred to as How I Met Your Father, it would feature a new group of New York friends and chronicle a female member of the group’s quest to meet her future husband. I hear the new characters could be introduced in the HIMYM series finale, and Ted, Barney, Marshall, Lily and Robin’s favorite hangout, MacLaren’s Pub, may be featured on the new show, serving as a link between the two gangs。
衍生劇暫定名為《How I Met Your Father》,講述一群居住在紐約市的朋友們的故事,記錄這伙人中的一位女孩兒如何邂逅她日后的丈夫的過程。據(jù)稱該劇的新角色將在《老爸老媽的浪漫史》最終季揭曉,為了體現(xiàn)原劇和衍生劇之間的銜接,泰德、巴尼、馬修、莉莉和羅賓最喜歡逛的酒吧——麥克拉倫酒吧也會在新劇中出現(xiàn)。
The premise, which is not tied to any of the original HIMYM characters, gives Bays, Thomas and Spivey a clean slate to build new characters and relationships. The trio, who will co-write and executive produce the spinoff, share a background — they all started in late-night and worked on New York-based late-night shows before transitioning to primetime comedy series。
這部衍生劇和原劇中任何角色的故事都沒有關(guān)系,制片人貝斯、托馬斯和斯皮維可以另起爐灶,設(shè)計新的角色和人物關(guān)系。這個鐵三角組合將合作編寫劇本、共同執(zhí)導(dǎo)拍攝活動,三人的事業(yè)背景也很相似——他們都是從制作深夜節(jié)目起家,然后才轉(zhuǎn)型成為黃金時段情景喜劇的制作人。
HIMYM launched its final season with a 3.7 rating and remains CBS’ highest-rated Monday series and the second-highest rated overall behind The Big Bang Theory. This is the second hit comedy series to be exploring a spinoff for next season, joining ABC’s Modern Family, also from 20th TV, which is mulling an offshoot built around the character played by guest star Rob Riggle。
老爸老媽的浪漫史》已經(jīng)進入最終季,其3.7%的收視率使其躋身CBS電視臺周一檔電視劇收視率冠軍,一周收視率第二,僅次于《生活大爆炸》。這并不是第一次熱門情景喜劇在下一季尋找衍生劇。同樣來自20世紀(jì)福克斯公司的ABC電視臺播出的《摩登家庭》,也正在琢磨著指導(dǎo)一部衍生劇,該劇會以原劇中的客串明星羅布 里格爾為中心角色展開。
