As aHow I Met Your Motherfan, I’m always thrilled to see the cast brought on to new, exciting projects. Smulders is excellent in comedies, further proven by her guest-star appearance alongsideHow I Met Your Mother’s Jason Segel in Apple TV’sShrinkingseason. Of course, the actor’s MCU role has also demonstrated valuable range, indicating thatshe will be an excellent fit to join Garcia-Ruflo in the Netflix legal drama.The Lincoln Lawyerseason 4 has been a long time coming, but with names like Smulders added to the cast list, it should be entirely worth it.
