Final Season for CBS's HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER?

In an interview with TVLine.com, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER co-creator Craig Thomas revealed that producers are currently not certain if the popular CBS comedy will continue after the upcoming eighth season. The cast will soon begin contract discussions with the network for Season 9. 

Commented Thomas, "It's a really interesting situation because there's a negotiation going on that could extend the show, for sure." He went on to add, "But right now, the thing that we know to be true is we have this year and no deal for next year. So we have to proceed as though this could be the last year of HIMYM. Hopefully we will know soon. Basically, we couldn't possibly know soon enough. But we'd be thrilled to tell either story – either wrap it up this year or to tell another chapter of this story. We don't know yet which way it's going to go."

The eighth season of the series ended by revealing the identity of Barney’s bride, Robin. In addition, Marshall made it back from Atlantic City just in time for Lily to give birth to their son, and Ted rode off into the sunset with the one that got away, Victoria.

When asked how the loose ends may be tied up in the upcoming season, Thomas said, "We like painting ourselves into impossible corners on How I Met Your Mother. How do you get those two characters together? They're probably as far apart as they can possibly be. We will tell you that story. There's going to be some relationship carnage to free them up to do that," he joked, "It's a bit of a relationship bloodbath in the first six episodes, and I hope in a very entertaining way."

The eighth seaon of How I Met Your Mother will premiere on Monday, September 24 on CBS.
