Prior to the Season 1 premiere, Raisa told PopCulture.com it "definitely felt like a lot of responsibility to live up to the original" series," but was also an "exciting" opportunity to make the show their own. Sharma added, "Everybody came into this knowing that it is a responsibility. It is something we really have to work towards. So just the vibes that we inculcated amongst each other – it's fantastic. We're friends, so that's all you really need."
Ainsley added at the time of the cast's camaraderie, "I think we were all equally terrified, but that's definitely what brought us together, I'd say. ...I think as soon as we all looked at each other and went, 'Oh, oh, you're nervous as well? OK, alright.' Then we started to I'd say, work together, but pick each other up. And yeah, it definitely helped." How I Met Your Father Season 2 premieres Tuesday, Jan. 24, with new episodes following weekly on Hulu.
