The sequel begins in the year 2050 where Sophie (Hilary) tells her son the story of how she met his father. The series then transports us back to the year 2021 where Sophie and her close-knit group of friends are in the midst of figuring out who they are, what they want out of life, and how to fall in love in the age of dating apps and limitless options.

And with Josh from Drake and Josh to Hilary from Lizzie McGuire, this sitcom is truly what dreams are made of.
