Despite recent reports claiming How I Met Your Dad is still being worked on, executive producers Carter Bays and Craig Thomas -- the creators of How I Met Your Mother -- clarified that's not the case.

TV Line reported this week that Bays & Thomas were still invested in the How I Met Your Mother spinoff series, which was passed on by CBS in May. According to the report, the series was being re-developed by Bays, Thomas and 20th Century Fox (who produced How I Met Your Mother) with the intention of finding a new home for it. But Bays took to Twitter to dispute that claim earlier today."I don't know why I keep reading articles about this, but since nobody bothers asking us: We are really, truly not working on HIMYD anymore," Bays wrote. "[The show] was fun to work on, terrific cast, terrific writer, but it's over now and we have other stuff we want to do. Maybe in the future it could be something, but I think we need to try something new before we go back to it."

Thomas than chimed in himself on Twitter as well, writing, "To second my bro @CarterBays, any article you read about #HIMYD being kept alive is not true. Sadly, that project will not move forward. We loved making #HIMYD and are sad it couldn't move ahead, but sometimes that's how it goes. Thanks for all the interest in it -- perhaps it will come back around some day, but first we will do something else! Love to the #HIMYD cast and crew and @spivey_e [How I Met Your Dad executive producer/writer Emily Spivey] -- we are honored we the chance to work together!"

When CBS passed on the spinoff series, which starred Greta Gerwig and an entirely different cast from the original series, the network did mention that 20th Century Fox, as the actual owners of the project, could shop the show around to other outlets. But with Bays and Thomas' recent comments, it looks like it's time to move on from the HIMYM world.
