In what may be the longest bedtime story of all time, we’ve been waiting seven seasons for Ted Mosby to tell his two children how he met their mother.

Now it looks like these kids had better cancel their weekend plans, because CBS is currently in talks to extend How I Met Your Mother to a ninth season before the eighth has even been filmed.

According to Variety, the potential for an additional season comes after the show received an unexpected ratings boost last season.

The studio is waiting to announce its final decision until after Season 8 starts airing this September, but one concern about continuing the series is that the central actors’s contracts only go through the end of this season.

The majority of the leads on HIMYM — including Jason Segel and Neil Patrick Harris — have regular work in film and television, and asking them to continue after eight years might be a bit demanding.

Whatever CBS decides, they’d better make up their minds soon because we’d really like to know how Ted met his wife already!

沪江娱乐快讯：这也许是史上最长的睡前故事了，目前我们已经听泰德•莫斯比（Ted Mosby）向2个孩子讲了整整7年他遇见老妈的故事。

而现在看来，他的孩子们最好还是取消原定的周末计划吧。因为CBS电视台正在积极考虑延长《老爸老妈浪漫史》的拍摄计划，甚至在第八季开拍之前他们就已筹措起第九季的安排。

据Variety媒体报道，对于该剧拍摄第9季的反响异常热烈。而节目制作组也在等待最后的信号，他们将于9月《老爸老妈浪漫史》第8季开播后宣布是否拍摄第9季。然而确信的一大忧患是，许多主演的合约都将在第8季结束后终止。

《老爸老妈浪漫史》的主演们——连同杰森•西格尔（Jason Segal，剧中饰演马修一角）和尼尔•帕特里克•哈里斯（Neil Patrick Harris，剧中饰演巴尼一角）在内有其他常规的电影和电视拍摄工作，而在第八季结束后向他们续约难度较大。

不论CBS电视台最终如何决定，他们尽快宣布就是了。因为我们实在想知道《寻妈记》这个故事的终极大坑是怎么填的！

你希望有第9季吗？
