The first look photo comes shortly after it was announced that Hall would be joining the show in a recurring role. The project will see him reunite with former God Friended Me co-star Sharma, who was already confirmed as a series regular.

The 10-episode comedy counts original HIMYM creators, Craig Thomas and Carter Bays who have also reunited with the show's original director Pam Fryman.

How I Met Your Father will air on Hulu in the US, while its UK broadcaster is to be confirmed.
