April 24, 2014— -- Please let the dad be named "Harry."

EW reports that "When Harry Met Sally" star Meg Ryan will be the voice of "future Sally" in the "How I Met Your Mother" spin-off.

If you recall, "HIMYM" tapped Bog Saget to voice future Ted in the original, so this is probably on par, bringing in a high-profile actress for the role.

"How I Met Your Dad" will star Greta Gerwig and comes from the same creators Craig Thomas and Carter Bays that brought you "HIMYM."

Gerwig spoke to Vulture earlier this month about the role.

"It's going to be different than the original," she told Vulture. "When the premise of the show is that it's a young man looking for his true love, it's a very different feeling than a young woman looking for her true love. But I'm so nervous about it that I have trouble talking about it."
