Neil Patrick Harris might have played the ultimate bachelor in the Big Apple as Barney Stinson in How I Met Your Mother. But now, in a role reversal, he’s learning what it’s like to get back out there in the new comedy Uncoupled. The eight-episode series of half-hour episodes drops on July 29.

Harris stars as Michael, a married Manhattanite who thought his life was perfect until his husband of 17 years blindsides him by walking out the door. Overnight, Michael has to confront two nightmares — losing the one he thought was his soulmate and suddenly finding himself a single gay man in his mid-40s in New York City.

Michael (Neil Patrick Harris) is suited up and ready to (at least try to) get back out there.
