The highly anticipated "How I Met Your Mother" spinoff, "How I Met Your Father," has finally arrived.

The first two episodes of the 10-episode series premiered Tuesday, Jan. 18 on Hulu.

Hulu subscription plans start at $6.99 per month, and there is a bundle offer featuring Hulu, Disney+ and ESPN+ for $13.99 per month.

The new series follows a woman named Sophie who tells her son the story of how she met his father when she was younger.

Hilary Duff plays the flashback version of Sophie, who is living in New York City in the year 2021, while Kim Cattrall portrays the future version of the character, sharing her story years later.

When the casting announcement was made, Duff shared: "As a huge fan of How I Met Your Mother, I’m honored and even a little nervous that Carter and Craig would trust me with the sequel of their baby ... Just fangirling over here getting to join the Hulu Originals and 20th [Television] families."
