CBS Sets the HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER Series Finale Date, FRIENDS WITH BETTER LIVES Series Premiere

Last month, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER boss Craig Thomas shared with reporters that the show’s series finale would air on April 28th. However, CBS has officially set the show’s finale date and it’s a full month earlier.

Take a look at CBS’ press release about the HIMYM series finale and when the new comedy FRIENDS WITH BETTER LIVES will debut…

“After 208 episodes told over nine seasons, the story of how Ted Mosby ultimately meets his children’s mother will conclude with a special one-hour series finale on Monday, March 31 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT).  The HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER finale will be followed immediately by the series premiere of the new comedy FRIENDS WITH BETTER LIVES (9:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT).

Following its special premiere after the HIMYM finale, FRIENDS WITH BETTER LIVES moves to its regular Monday (8:30-9:00 PM, ET/PT) time period on April 7.

FRIENDS WITH BETTER LIVES is about six friends at different stages in their lives—married, divorced, newly engaged and single—who are outwardly happy, but secretly questioning if their friends have it better.

As part of CBS’s new Monday lineup, 2 BROKE GIRLS will move to the 8:00 PM time period on April 14 to lead off the night’s comedy block.
