Bad news, comfort watchers: How I Met Your Mother is set to leave Netflix on December 2. While no official reason has been given for this, it's likely because CBS' initial licensing agreement with the streaming giant has come to an end.
It's a fairly normal thing to happen, but it's incredibly annoying. So many of our favorite shows – such as New Amsterdam and The Walking Dead – have also fallen victim to this, meaning our back catalog of comfort shows to stream is getting smaller by the minute.
However, this doesn't mean that How I Met Your Mother has disappeared from streamers entirely. In fact, if you play your cards right and clear your calendar for the next 30 days, you can stream all nine seasons again for free in one simple step (you're welcome).
Stream How I Met Your Mother for free using Hulu's 30-day free trial
That's right: act now by getting a 30-day Hulu free trial and you can technically binge all of How I Met Your Mother without spending a penny. The sitcom has no plans to leave the streaming service, so fans in the US can rest assured that it's not going anywhere.
Here's a step-by-step guide to signing up:
- Visit the Hulu website
- Click 'Sign Up for Hulu Only'
- Choose between the three plans

There's even better news for T-Mobile users, who can get an entire year of free Hulu (with ads) with any of its Experience Beyond and Go5G Next plans. Students can also get a Hulu discount of $1.99 a month, which is more than 65% off the regular plan price.
For everyone else, there's never been a better time to plump for one of many existing Hulu deals. Why? Parent company Disney announced a price hike that saw the costs of all of its streaming services increase by an average of $3 per month, which came into effect on October 21.
