‘How I Met Your Mother’
It's hard to say goodbye, but the busy cast (and crew) of HIMYM will not be off the radar for long. Between them, they'll have five films, a few potential series and at least one Broadway musical out by year's end.

She's the only longtime member of the HIMYM cast to book a pilot this season, cast as the female lead on CBS comedy More Time With Family. Hannigan, who just celebrated her 40th birthday, will play the wife of star Tom Papa.

Cristin Milioti

Neil Patrick Harris

His next films — Seth MacFarlane's A Million Ways to Die in the West and David Fincher's Gone Girl — will both premiere in 2014.

Craig Thomas and Carter Bays
Longtime writing partners Bays and Thomas aren't straying far — at least not yet. The HIMYM creators are co-writing the proposed How I Met Your Dad spinoff with Up All Night's Emily Spivey.

Pamela Fryman
Perennially one of the most sought-after TV comedy directors, Fryman's pilot season plate is especially full with HIMYM wrapped early. She's directing CBS' Save the Date, David Caspe and Erik Sommers' Cuz-Bros and Tina Fey and Matt Hubbard's Cabot College. She'll also serve as EP on How I Met Your Dad, should it go to series, though she had to pull out of directing the pilot.
