No breaks for Alyson Hannigan. As How I Met Your Mother wraps its wildly successful nine-year run, the actress best known for portraying Lily on the show already has her next TV job lined up. She'll stay with CBS as the female lead in their new sitcom pilot More Time With the Family.
The pilot stars comedian Tom Papa as a family man who "undergoes a career change" so he can spend more time at home, loosely based on both Papa's stand-up and producer Matt Damon's personal experiences. Damon's longtime collaborator Ben Affleck will also produce, with Hannigan set to portray Papa's on-screen wife, Cindy. Along with co-creator Carter Bays uploading a twitpic of the final script, Hannigan and her co-stars moving on with their careers is yet another bittersweet reminder that the show is actually coming to an end this spring. The series finale airs March 31.
