This Is Us is down to its final batch of episodes — or to put that in terms that fans can understand, the final few tissues in the box. The sixth and final season of the NBC series that revitalized the family drama will begin to dole out its last 18 episodes on Jan. 4 at 9 p.m. The season 5 finale dropped a few shockers in two different time periods — Madison walked away from Kevin on their wedding day! Randall (Sterling K. Brown) will become a rising star in some fashion!
— and these news flashes will get full stories in the coming months. A certain deathbed scene with the family's matriarch, Rebecca , in the distant future. The final season premiere of NBC's time-hopping family drama aired Tuesday, setting up fans of the show for one final emotional run with the Pearson family. This may not come as a total shock to avid This Is Us fans who keep up with industry news. In 2019, sources told THR that when NBC renewed the show for three more seasons, Season 6 would mark the series finale. There was still hope for more episodes for a while, but it seems it's time to move on from the Pearsons.
We're getting a first look at the upcoming sixth and final season of NBC's flagship drama series This Is Us in a teaser trailer and photos from the first episode. In the previous episode, Kevin overcame his doubts about Madison by heeding stepfather Miguel's advice that not every love story is an epic Hollywood tale. But Madison tells Kevin that she deserves to be marrying a man who is in love with her, and not just as the mother to his children. Dan Folgerman's highly successful family drama 'This is Us' will return to our screens this Tuesday, January 4 on NBC with the first episode of its sixth and final season. What we know for sure is there will be a time jump to see Rebecca on her death bed, which will surely cause a surge in tissue sales.
Following previous seasons that focused primarily on Jack's life, creator Dan Fogelman stated Mandy Moore's character would take center stage as the series comes to an end. And it's expected that Nicky will play a bigger role in the final season. Having first aired back in 2016, This Is Us is reaching its conclusion in the sixth and final season.
Here's everything we know about the upcoming series so far, including new details on the highly anticipated last season finale. In May 2019, NBC renewed the series through a sixth and final season.As of February 22, 2022, 94 episodes of This Is Us have aired. Two or maybe even three of the specifics you asked are in the second episode. But a lot of the other stuff people are going to have to be patient for. The good news is, it's not going to take more than one season of television to get all the answers. My hope is that by the end of the series, there is no stone left unturned.
But by the end of it, I don't think there will be any of these timeline mysteries left. Hopefully it will set us up for a very beautiful and simple ending to the entire venture. This Is Us always keeps fans guessing, so it's unclear where Season 6, which will reportedly consist of 18 episodes, might take viewers. Hopefully, the writers will end on a more positive note and show the family recovering after COVID-related setbacks.
We could see Beth return to her dance studio with the support of Randall (Sterling K. Brown), and maybe Kevin and Madison will remain friendly co-parents even though their wedding didn't work out. As well as details about the finale, the cast has also revealed some exciting new details on the upcoming series. Speaking to Deadline, Fogelman teased that he has hopes of bringing back some familiar faces from the past in the final season, "especially at the end" and Brown confirmed that we'll "definitely" see Ron Cephas Jones' William again. During the premiere, the cast teased there would be another trilogy of episodes that focuses on the Big Three as well as a Jack-centric episode about his mother's death.
Episode 6 of This Is Us Season 6 is set to premiere on February 22, Tuesday on NBC. The upcoming episode as well as the previous seasons are also available to stream on Hulu, Peacock and Hotstar. The season break is due to the Winter Olympics being covered by NBC. Some shows make hitting the same holiday every year a staple. Think The Simpsons' yearly "Treehouses of Horror" on Halloween or all the seasons of Friends Christmas episodes.
For This Is Us, that holiday is Thanksgiving, and even though the final season is airing in the springtime, the Pearsons couldn't possibly skip their final Turkey Day. The This Is Us Season 6, Episode 7 promo promises the final Thanksgiving with the Pearsons will not be a quiet one. It's going to be a few weeks until the next episode of This Is Us, thanks to the Winter Olympics, which will dominate NBC's primetime lineup starting on Friday, Feb. 4. But when the show comes back, fans will have a lot to look forward to, including the continuations of several storylines that fans are eager to see play out.
The This Is Us Season 6, Episode 6 promo promises fans will get more on at least two fronts once the series returns. This Is Us season 6 barely got started after its Jan. 4 premiere when it went on a hiatus because NBC was broadcasting the Winter Olympics. But good news This Is Us fans, the show returns with an all new episode on Tuesday, Feb. 22, at its usual 9 p.m. Clearly, there are a lot of dramatic stories to tell when This Is Us Season 6 Episode 7, "Taboo," airs on NBC. But it looks like fans will have to wait a little longer for the show to return.
According to the network, there won't be a new episode next week. Rather, episode 7 of This Is Us Season 6 will be released on Tuesday, March 8, 2022. NBC has dropped a glimpse into the upcoming eighth episode of This Is US's fifth season arriving on February 16, 2021.
The show that has adored the three main characters, Randall played by Sterling K. Brown, Kate played by Chrissy Metz, and Kevin played by Justin Hartley will now showcase them expanding their family. The new promo suggests that we might finally witness Kevin and Madison giving birth to twins while Kate and Toby adopt a new child. Thus, we might be getting introduced to the new big three in the upcoming episode. Well, that's a lot anyway let's break into what we can expect. This Is Us has captivated viewers with its tear-inducing storylines, in-depth explorations of family and some emotional plot twists. Well, it looks like we're about to get another dose of all of those things very soon.
'This Is Us' season 5 episode 12 is set to release on April 6, 2021, at 9 pm ET on NBC. According to the weekly release schedule of the show, the twelfth episode should have released on March 30, 2021. However, the series is taking a week-long break before returning with the season 5 finale. This Is Us has been one of NBC's most successful series, but after the six seasons it is sadly coming to an end. The final season is guaranteed to pull on the heartstrings for fans as they say goodbye to the Pearsons for the last time.Express.co.ukhas all the details on the last season.
This Is UsSeason 5 has been a long one, with the family drama taking a lengthy break between November and January before starting up again. Next week marks the penultimate episode, with the latest season coming to an end on Tuesday, May 25. At the end of last night's show, it looked like Kevin was getting cold feet. In a first look at the last episode before the wedding finale, Kevin gives his ex-wife Sophie a call.
He later admits, "Talking to her made me confused," and is seen asking his brother for advice. "How does anyone ever really know who they're supposed to marry? After a shot of Kevin staring down at Sophie's contact in her phone, the promo comes to a close, leaving us with just enough juicy info to hold on until next week. To watch the preview for next week's episode of This Is Us, just scroll to the top of this article.
Over the past few seasons, we've slowly been fed clues to the Pearson family's future, but there are still several questions that need answering in the remaining episodes. There were hints in the two-minute flash-forward that Kevin and Madison could be writing their love story together. In the episodes leading up to the finale, Kevin came to the realization that he changes aspects about himself in order to please the woman he is dating. That continues to be true at his wedding, when the actor runs himself ragged trying to give Madison the perfect day and edits movie references out of his vows, per her request. The final scene of Tuesday's season finale jumped four years ahead to show Kate — gasp!
Ever since the shocking time-jump finale of season three, a seed had been planted that Kate and Toby might split up in the future. That sad outcome for one of the couples at the heart of the show was confirmed in the final, time-jumping scene, as Kate is shown readying to marry a man that viewers barely know, her new boss Phillip . Breaking away from the show's usual fall release, the sixth and final season premiered on Jan. 4, 2022, on NBC. Additionally, the final season will air uninterrupted as there will be no midseason break. This man who's constantly in an existential crisis, trying to live up to the model of the man that his father was and always feeling like he's failing.
We find Kevin fresh off the heels of this wedding fiasco with Madison, trying to figure out how you co-parent and have what he considers a normal family while not being with the mother of your children. That is demanding a lot of his focus and a lot of his existential crisis. On a career level, he's at a place right now as we left him last season, he's not the hottest he's ever been.
So that works in concert with him also trying to figure out how he's going to provide some normalcy for his family. Not only is he directing again, but we'll finally learn more of Miguel's backstory. "We're going to see how Miguel is going to play into the end of the show," Huertas says. "We've got this nice little ladder we're climbing to get to that," he teases.
The main plot point of This Is Us season 5 revolved around Kevin and Madison's relationship, which saw Kevin propose to her after revealing to the family that she is pregnant. However, in the finale, Madison has her doubts if Kevin truly loves her or is marrying her more of a sense of responsibility. After confronting him on their wedding day, Kevin reveals that while he loves the family they are creating, he is not in love with her.
To help him cope, Rebecca suggests Kevin work to build the cabin that the Pearson family has always wanted. This Is Us, NBC's popular drama and fan tear-jerker, is in its sixth and final season. Any additional weeping you may hear is probably coming from NBC, as This Is Us has been both a critical and ratings darling for the network, but as they say, all good things must come to an end. NBC has promised that the family drama's final season will have "a largely uninterrupted run" following season five's pandemic-induced delayed start, multiple hiatuses and shortened episode count. "We always knew that Season 6 would be ambitious in terms of the way it jumps time, even more ambitious than other seasons," series creator Dan Fogelman previously told USA TODAY. The Pearson family will, of course, be returning for the sixth and final season.
Series regulars Moore, Brown, Metz and Hartley will all be returning to our screens alongside Susan Kelechi Watson (who plays Randall's wife Beth), Chris Sullivan (who plays Kate's now ex-husband Toby) and Huertas . NBC's 'This Is Us' beautifully portrays that in all its episodes. However, in recent times, there have been quite a lot of breaks between episodes.
Sadly, you will have to wait before you can watch the next episode — 'Both Things Can Be True'. The gallery at right gives you a rundown of what took place during the flash-forward. We'll keep updating it as the series enters its sixth and final season next year, so make sure to bookmark this page and check back after each new installment. And, of course, we want to hear about it if you happen to catch a clue or develop a theory that we've missed. The sixth and final season of This Is Us, which has yet to reveal an episode count, will premiere in 2022.
In the time jump, Randall is shown being profiled by a magazine as a "Rising Star," uncle Nicky references a "wife" and Beth is a bridesmaid for Kate, along with Madison. When speaking about the new seeds that have been planted heading into the final season — which will capture the 41st year of life for the Big Three — Fogelman called out Brown and Moore in particular as other big storylines ahead. Primarily, he said the final season will "live heavily" in the time period of Kate's second wedding, when the Big Three are 45, and in the period 10 to 15 years down the line, when the family has gathered by Rebecca's bedside.
This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman has long known how the Pearson family's story will end. And, in wrapping season five (which is the penultimate season for the top-rated NBC drama), Fogelman and his creative team revealed a new timeline for the show to explore when it returns for its final run. The drama that has garnered millions of fans throughout its seasons reveals how life's smallest events impact who each one becomes, and how connections shared with other people can transcend time, distance and even death. It's hard to believe that we're so close to the end of the smash-hit NBC drama starring Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz and Justin Hartley. In just 18 episodes, we'll all learn what's really going on in that famous flash-forward scene and what the future holds for the Big Three.
Our fourth episode up is one of those specialized, very different episodes. And it's as good as Milo Ventimiglia has ever been in the show. By the end of the season, this show, before getting really simple, it gets really ambitious.
To me, it may be [Ventimiglia's] best episode of the entire series. It was a bit of a love letter by the writer of the episode — and the writers — to give Jack one here in the final season, and Milo really delivered. We're spanning a lot of time by the time we get to the end of this.
My hope for the show has always been that the end of the show, for those who have stuck with it and those who the show has been important to, will feel like a complete meal. In covering that much time —we've used the reference in the past, people come and go from the painting — not all of that is baked in severe trauma and tragedy. Sometimes stuff happens that takes people before their time. We're coming off an ending of the previous season that had a bunch of big moves for our characters.
You saw that five years in the future, Kate is marrying somebody who's not Toby and who is a co-worker of hers. We've seen that Kate and Toby are going to be trying a version of a longer-distance marriage for a moment in time. We have seen Rebecca worrying about where her health is going next. That first episode is really about marking where these characters are now, versus where they were five years ago.
While the cast and creator Dan Fogelman remain tight-lipped on what's in store for the final season, they did drop a few revealing hints at their premiere kick-off celebration. Here's what to expect from your Pearson family favorites, and if you haven't seen this final chapter video yet, see below . This season is supposed to be 16 episodes long, which makes next week's episode the penultimate one. It also means that the latest season of the show will also be coming to an end on May 25th, 2021. With Season 6 upon us, the journey to Kevin's house begins tonight.
