Hulu unveiled the series' first trailer on Thursday, showing leading lady Sophie navigating the ups and downs of modern dating. The new footage opens withKim Cattrall— whois narratingas a future version of Sophie — telling her child: “This is the story of how I met your father.”
“It was hard to live in the moment in 2022,” she continues. “There was always someplace else you could be. Someone else you could be with.”
From there, a glimpse into Sophie’s rocky dating life shows her journey to finding The One has been far from easy.
“I know this might sound crazy, but I’ve been on 87 Tinder dates this year,” Duff says as Sophie, who’s retelling her latest dating story mishap to pals Jesse (Christopher Lowell) and Sid (Suraj Sharma). “My last date was the worst of them.”
And while Sophie’s love story is a crucial part of her journey, so are the lasting relationships she builds with her close friends.
