How I Met Your Dad could air as an online exclusive on Netflix.

CBS - the network that aired parent series How I Met Your Mother - has declined to pick up the spinoff.

Netflix is now considered a possibility for the sitcom, Deadline reports, along with broadcast networks Fox and NBC.

Greta Gerwig starred in the How I Met Your Dad pilot as Sally, a young woman on the path to meeting her future husband.

Another rejected pilot seeking a new network is sports comedy The Pro starring Rob Lowe and Mel B, originally under consideration at NBC.

Meanwhile, axed series Suburgatory (ABC) and Friends with Better Lives (CBS) are also being shopped to new networks.

NBC's Community was another casualty this season, with series creator Dan Harmon admitting that he is "wary" of any fan campaign to revive the series being "exploited".
