What will happen after the titular meeting occurs on the March 31 series finale of _How I Met Your Mother_? Thanks to the show’s nonlinear timeline, the answers are clear for many of the fictional characters.

And, as a decade-long gig ends and they clear up their schedules, the same is true for the actors who play the _Mother_ gang. Here’s where you’ll be able to catch them after the show goes off the air:

**Josh Radnor (Ted):** The show’s star has the least obvious path ahead. Radnor has no specific future projects confirmed for release in the next year or so, but the actor — who has written and directed a few films already — has said that he’s interested in doing more work behind the camera.

**Cobie Smulders (Robin):** The show’s main love interest is going for action, with at least two more appearances as Avengers franchise character Agent Maria Hill. One, _Captain America: The Winter Soldier,_ is out this week and the other, _Avengers: Age of Ultron_, is currently filming.

**Neil Patrick Harris (Barney):** The ubiquitous triple threat is going strong. In movie theaters this year, he’ll play Desi in the film adaptation of hit novel _Gone Girl_, out in October, and also appear in Seth MacFarlane’s _A Million_ _Ways to Die in the West_, out in May. Meanwhile, on Broadway, it’s curtains up on his starring turn in _Hedwig and the Angry Inch_ (the show is in previews now and opens officially on April 22).

**Alyson Hannigan (Lily):** Hannigan, a television veteran, recently [told TIME](http://time.com/35443/how-i-met-your-mother-alyson-hannigan/) that she hoped to have another go at a long-running series. Her first bet for that slot is _More Time with Family_, a CBS pilot executive-produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

**Jason Segal (Marshall):** The comedy strongman has a full slate of movies coming up, including a starring role in this summer’s Cameron Diaz romp _Sex Tape_ and a more serious turn as the star of David Foster Wallace biopic _The End of the Tour._ He’s also [revealed plans](http://splitsider.com/2013/04/jason-segel-wrote-a-series-of-young-adult-novels-out-later-this-year/) for a series of YA novels; [the first](http://www.randomhouse.com/book/235393/nightmares-by-jason-segel-and-kirsten-miller) is due in September.

**Cristin Milioti (The Mother):** The actress, recently seen in _The Wolf of Wall Street_, has a thriller (_The Occupants_) in the works and an NBC pilot for a rom-com called _A To Z_.

**Lyndsy Fonseca and David Henrie (the kids):** She’s in _Moments of Clarity_, due later this year, and he’s in a bunch of movies coming up, including _Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2_.

**Carter Bays and Craig Thomas (the show’s creators):** Will also work on the spin-off _How I Met Your Dad_.
