Is There Going To Be A Season 5 Of This Is Us

This is not exactly a surprise; when the show was renewed for three more seasons in 2019, THR reported the drama would "likely" end its run afterward. Because the series jumps around in time so much, it was unclear how long it could run. Eventually the characters would catch up to the futures the show laid out for them, and the story would have to end. "We never set out to make a television series that was going to last 18 seasons, so we have a very direct plan. We have a plan for what we're going to do, and I know what the plan is," series creator Dan Fogelman told THR in April 2019. After building to a season finale centered around Kevin's wedding to Madison, the current timeline ends with Madison calling off the wedding after forcing Kevin to confront the fact that he is in love with the family they've created, but not with her.

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. "Some love stories are written in the stars and other love stories are written together," he told the groom-to-be, comparing his marriage to Rebecca after the death of Jack to Kevin and Madison being brought together by her unexpected pregnancy. 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. This Is Us season 5 is heartwarming, heartbreaking, has good twists and endearing moments. The makers have cut down two episodes and gave us only 16 episodes this season. While that's a complaint, the latest season has been far away from any disappointment.

Randall and Kate have come a long way, and their characters have developed a lot. But Kevin is behind in the race, and we wonder if there's anything good coming for and from him in the sixth season, which is the series finale. While showing the present and the past, there are some scenes where the trio's kids are adults. That's another time jump that will be addressed in the final season. The show has always been challenging with the plays in time, and we always knew that Season 6 would be epic in terms of the way it jumps time, and even more ambitious than other seasons. Because our audience has been so devoted and I think because, hopefully, we've smartly set up the contained areas where these future timelines live, I think you're going to have a real sense of resolution and completion for this family.

It's the mixed-up VHS tapes of this family's existence that will kind of all coalesce to speak to one another in completion. We have been working tirelessly to set up this rewarding final season to make all the pieces fit together. That's been part of the great benefit of, from the very beginning with the early success of the show, allowing us to kind of know our endgame, and has allowed us to build what we hope will be a very rewarding final season. The current timelines that exist in our show are manifold.

We have the young period of Jack and Rebecca pre-children and now with babies, they kind of merge into one. And then, in terms of the present-day and future-day storylines, we have a continuation of our main storyline, which would be their 41st year of life next year. And then we have this 10, 15 years later at the house where everybody is gathering and Rebecca is in that bed. We show Baby Jack grown up as a future musician, et cetera. These are all places that we will traverse next season.

"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 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. The commentary from the cast in the aforementioned video is intercut with scenes from the past seasons of This Is Us and the montage mostly focuses on the Pearson characters. Rightfully so, the series is about the collective life of the family, starting with Jack and Rebecca's introduction and eventual marriage.

Due to its unique storytelling format, it's able to connect things that happened in the past to what the Big Three are going through in the present time. Importantly, it allows the show to continue featuring Jack who has died back decades ago. So while the individual arcs of the kids are going to be significant, expect that This Is Us will continue to be the Pearsons' overall journey. While This Is Us fans wait for the next new episode to air on NBC, many viewers are looking forward to the season 5 finale and the start of season 6. The upcoming season is expected to conclude the Pearson family's story. Recently, the This Is Us Season 5 team teased what's coming in the last three episodes and the new season.

This Is Us is returning to NBC in January, and the network has released photos and a new trailer for the final season of the drama. For the uninitiated, This Is Us is a romantic family drama revolving around the lives of the Pearson family. The series follows the lives and families of two parents and their three children.

Now, don't get us wrong, we have nothing against Toby or Kate, but together, they haven't been fun to watch since their early days. It makes sense that Kate might also find a second chance at love while thriving at her new job, though we've got a long way to go before we even get to that love story considering the fact that she and Toby are currently relatively happy together. Between this wedding, that family gathering at Rebecca's house and grown-up baby Jack and Hailey, there's a lot of ground to cover in the final season. "This Is Us" set up its sixth and final season with Tuesday's Season 5 finale episode, which dropped one big bombshell on the Pearson family themselves and another on us viewers. The stars of This Is Us tease what can be expected from its final season. NBC's hit family drama is wrapping up its run with its sixth year, but despite this, expect a series of plot twists — something that the show has become known for throughout its broadcast.

Over 5 million people tuned in to the Season 5 finale of "This Is Us" last week, according to Deadline. This does not include all those who eagerly watched the episode on Hulu when it was made available on the streaming platform the next day. With a crazy twist ending at the end of the finale, as well as the popular series confirmed to be ending after Season 6, it's safe to say that fans have the Pearson family on their minds. 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. NBC revealed that This Is Us wouldn't return for its sixth and final season until midseason, which meant a 2022 premiere date.

Even though this means a long hiatus, NBC said that the final season would be a "largely uninterrupted run." The final season will consist of 18 episodes. All the episodes of This Is Us Season 5 are streaming for the Indian audience on Disney+ Hotstar. The Pearsons have come a long way since they started four years ago but are nowhere close to bringing their lives together. The older and the younger generation in their family has gone through significant life changes. The fifth season was another prime example of the same. All of those timelines are going to be brought to completion and explained.

There will be no looming questions when we get to the end of next season, everything will be resolved. You can't always claim that 100% of your audience is going to like every single decision you make for the characters, but I don't think anything will be left on the table. So all those locations you've been to, all those future timelines we've been to, they will all get resolutions. The time-hopping drama, created by Dan Fogelman, focuses on the Pearson family, spanning multiple decades of their lives.

The earlier timeline shows Rebecca and Jack Pearson as they raise their three children. The "present" timeline depicts those three children as adults — 36 at the start of the first season — with their own families, as they navigate their own adult lives, including the long-lasting effect of their father's death when they were teenagers. As the series has progressed, it's even showcased scenes from future timelines, going as far as to show the youngest generation as adults. In January 2022, the series returned to NBC for its long-awaited sixth and final season, leaving fans just a few months away from bidding farewell to the Pearson family for the last time. The sixth and final season premieres at the top of the new year.

It already seems like it will be the most emotional season of the show yet, as we follow Rebecca's battle with Alzheimer's. We'll see how the Pearsons deal with their mother being unable to remember vital parts of their history while also trying to make new memories and forge new paths. List of episodesThe fifth season of the American television series This Is Us continues to follow the lives and connections of the Pearson family across several time periods. Productions, Zaftig Films, and 20th Television, with Dan Fogelman, Isaac Aptaker, and Elizabeth Berger serving as showrunners. 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 . The fifth-season finale of the NBC family drama ended with a surprising reveal that has been in the plans for "quite a while," says Dan Fogelman. "There will be no looming questions when we get though the end of next season. Everything will be resolved." The final episode for This Is Us Season 5 aired in May and new episodes from This Is Us Season 6 will air starting January 2022. Filming for the upcoming season just started earlier this month and all the main characters are expected to return.

"There will be no looming questions when we get through the end of next season," he said. Since the very beginning, I have had a strong feeling about where I want this to end. And it won't just involve the series finale, but it involves the final season, its moments, its images, its scenes, its ideas. I have a list of them that I wanted to tell in a pretty specific order, and I'm grateful to be able to end it that way.

There are less popular shows that have not ended on their own terms. It's a real gift to be able to have been thinking about those images, those scenes, those literal lines of dialogue and be able to execute them the way you want to. You can't really ask for anything more in the modern state of television. Obviously, there's shaping that, but there's images and our cast knows many of them, and some of them have been shot. So yes, I'm excited to be able to end it the way we've talked about ending it since the first season of the show.

A big one that we've always planned on diving into heavily next season is the courtship and then coming together and then ultimate separation and then coming back together of Rebecca and Miguel. Mandy is going to have a tremendously ambitious season next year as an actress. Chrissy and Sully have known for quite a while, for many seasons, where they are going and where this season was going. So nothing came as a surprise to them… There's so much love there, both between the actors in real life and between the characters on camera that it's difficult when you are trying to tap into this stuff. Our actors are beautiful in that, even if they don't always love a choice I make for their characters, they don't express it to me. I just go back to all the times that I've been at the most beautiful and loving weddings, where nothing could go wrong.

And then there you are years later at that person's second wedding. So the journey from A to B is something we really haven't done on this show yet, and I think these two actors are going to have some really meaty stuff to dig into next year. I think, like everything in our show, we're going to be able to find something difficult and find something beautiful inside it. Obviously, Chris is going to be a big part of the show next year. So, yes, series regular, or whatever it's called, we owe a lot of him… We're big fans of him on the show. This is obviously a plot point that we've known was coming for quite some time, Kate's second wedding, and we knew the reveal would be at the end of the season.

So we'd actually had Chris come down and meet with Chrissy much earlier in the season, under severe testing protocols and everything, so we could kind of put that together and feel them out during such an unusual season. And as for the decision to have this timeline, which is essentially four years in the future, be Chrissy's second wedding, it's been part of our plan all along from the go. So obviously we've hinted at many times in the immediate future that something was amiss, something was not normal between , and here we are. Originally, Season 5 was scheduled to debut Nov. 10, one week after the U.S. election, since Nov. 3 was Election Day. But with Thanksgiving practically coming on the heels of that, NBC pushed the series forward to the final Tuesday in October, giving fans a double episode, then a week off for Election Day, and then two more episodes before the holiday break.

Since the series began so late into fall, there is no Thanksgiving-themed installment to air on the holiday week. Instead, the show's six-week break will start early, with no episode on Nov. 24. An episode count for the final season has not been set, but it's expected to consist of about 18 installments. Season 5, currently airing on Tuesday nights, will span 16 episodes. This Is Us, NBC's popular drama and fan tear-jerker, is heading into 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.

Its non-linear storytelling made it easier for the show to pull off some of its most consequential narrative points. And just like in the last four years, This Is Us season 5 utilized this to drop an unexpected revelation that will be central to the show's remaining run. During its final moments and on the heels of Kevin and Madison's canceled wedding in the present day, the series jumped a bit forward in time and unveiled Toby and Kate's looming divorce. What made this more surprising is the fact that Number Two is set to remarry her current boss, Phillip.

Coming into This Is Us season 6, this will be among the primary points of interest for viewers, but there's more to it than that. The stars of NBC's hit family drama This Is Us preview what to expect from the show's upcoming sixth season which will also be its final outing. Alright, fellow This Is Us fans, it's time we all broke out a pack of tissues. The show recently announced season 6 will be its final season, and after last night's major plot twist, our hearts are breaking. What's going to happen with our dearest Pearson family? NBC can't just expect us to walk away so quickly from our Big Three!!!

Trust and believe, the emotions are clearly off the charts. Fogelman expressed in multiple interviews that all timelines of the characters would come to completion, and fans wouldn't be left with questions by the end of the series finale. In her bones, Madison always knew Kevin wasn't in love with her. In April 2021, NBC confirmed the This Is Us Season 5 finale date in a promo trailer.

On May 11, the drama will return with the final three episodes of the season. So the grand finale will drop on Tuesday, May 25, at a new time — 10 p.m. We're definitely all going to take a long nap after this last season. But I think definitely those two periods are periods we're going to spend more time in. Obviously one was just established, but the other one has been used more for answers to questions, but we haven't lived there a lot.

We'll be doing more of that in this upcoming season, which is always the plan, as opposed to having maybe three or four past story lines in one episode, we could wind up with episodes that have two or three or four future and present story lines. The cliff-hanger in the last minutes of the final episode is lame beyond description. I should have gone with my gut and quit after season 4. The first 3 seasons were solid, but from 4 onwards the quality of the writing just decreased. They traded believable characters and well thought out story lines for cringe worthy artificial drama.

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. Dan has always been vocal about wanting to end the show after 6 seasons. We have a plan for what we're going to do, and I know what the plan is," he toldTHRin April 2019. This Is Us follows the Pearson family at various points in their lives.

Over the course of the season, we've learned so much about the Pearsons. Season 2 revealed that Jack died of a heart attack after saving his family in the house fire. In season 5, Randall discovered that his birth mother had died.

This Is Us returns for its sixth and final season on January 4th. Check out the trailer and photos for the first episode of the year. Well, that's all I can sum up in my This Is Us Season 5 recap for you all. There are some major developments and story arcs that will be carried forward in the final season in 2022.

The season has highlighted many important social topics and also highlighted the pandemic. So if you are yet to watch the series, do not waste any more time and just go for it. And in the future timeline, Kate has fallen in love with Philip .
