The CBS show recently cast Krysta Rodriguez, according to TVLine. Rodriguez is best known for her role on the popular, but short-lived NBC drama “Smash.”

She will play the best friend of recently cast Greta Gerwig’s character, Sally, who will be on a Ted Mosby-inspired quest to find “the Dad.” Rodriguez’s character, Juliet, is described as “a sexy, flamboyant, energetic, party-girl who runs a successful fashion blog.”

The only other confirmed casting is Drew Tarver, who will play the husband of Sally’s brother.

Though there has been skepticism from “How I Met Your Mother” fans, co-creator Carter Bays tweeted back in November: “This will be its own, totally new show.”

Rumors of the new cast being in the finale of “How I Met Your Mother” have also been denied.
