The Pearsons Will Be Farewelled in the Final Season of This Is Us, So Here Is Everything You Need to Know About It

In this article, we’ll address all of your most pressing questions about the final season of This Is Us, including the cast, the series finale date, and more.

This family, the Pearsons, has been a part of our lives for too long.

When NBC’s hit drama This Is Us comes to an end with its current sixth season, which premiered on Jan. 4, it would be an understatement to say that we’re all a little sad.

Showtime’s Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia star in the show alongside Chrissy Metz, Sterling K. Brown, and Justin Hartley, and it appears that they’re saving the best for last with this season’s shocking twists and tear-jerking scenes.

When the show’s sixth season premiered on December 14 at Paramount Pictures Studios in Los Angeles, the cast and creator Dan Fogelman teased what was to come in the show’s final chapter.

In an interview with PEOPLE, Fogelman explained that the first few episodes “really just set everybody up for a bit of a ride.” “It’s similar to the part of a rollercoaster ride where you’re just ticking upwards as the ride progresses. At the conclusion of the first episode, there are no big, gigantic, or crazy events that take place. This isn’t a season in which to put in the work. We’re kind of laying the groundwork for an ending, and it takes a little while to put everything in place.”

Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz, Justin Hartley, Susan Kelechi Watson, Chris Sullivan, and Jon Huertas are among the cast members who will return for the final season.

As reported in November 2021, the original seven series regulars received a total of $2 million in cash bonuses for the final season, after successfully negotiating with the networks NBC and 20th Television to receive a pay raise. Additionally, Jon Huertas, who joined the cast as a series regular in season 2, was awarded a $1 million bonus.

Griffin Dune, Caitlin Thompson, Eris Baker, Faithe Herman, Lyric Ross, Asante Blackk, and Chris Geere all make cameo appearances this season, in addition to the rest of the cast.

In addition, the teaser hints that we will be seeing more of Kate and Toby’s kid Jack, who is portrayed by actor Blake Stadnik, in the future. Meanwhile, Alexandra Breckenridge, who portrays Sophie, previously hinted at a possible comeback to the role in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

The actress told the newspaper that “one of our main challenges is, traditionally, [her other programme] Virgin River and This Is Us film precisely around the same time every year.” “So, I’ve intended to return to [This Is Us], but haven’t been able to do so due to scheduling conflicts. No matter how well the characters grow, it has always been a logistical problem, so we’ll see what happens in the final season.”

It’s worth mentioning that, at the season premiere, when PEOPLE asked Hartley how he would define his character development this season, he hinted, “I’m going to say…” “[I] wish him the best of luck in his search for true love. He is deserving of it.” Perhaps we’ll see Kevin and Sophie reunited in the flash-forward sequence?

When it comes to This Is Us season 6, how is the cast engaged behind the scenes?

 

 

In addition to their roles as actors, several of the cast members were given the chance to create and direct episodes for the season finale.

During this season, Moore will make her television directing debut on a Kate-centric episode, while Ventimiglia will direct another episode after making his television directorial debut during the fourth season.

While speaking at the premiere, Ventimiglia lauded Moore’s onscreen wife, describing her as “a natural” in terms of directing. “She’s fantastic. She’s lovely, isn’t she? “He told the publication PEOPLE. “She is very aware of what she is doing [and] what she wants.”

Aside from that, Sullivan and Huertas each directed an episode during the final season.

In terms of scripting, Metz collaborated with Moore on the episode that will be directed by Moore. Watson also collaborated on the writing of an episode that delves even further into the character of Beth. “I got to kind of write Beth’s final opus, so it’s really beautiful,” Watson said of the episode, which was titled “Our Little Island Girl: Part Two,” in an interview with PEOPLE.

 

A total of 18 episodes will be released in the final season. When Jack’s mother passed away, the cast teased that there would be another trilogy of episodes focusing on the Big Three. They also teased that there would be a Jack-centric episode about his mother’s death.

“It’s been nice to revisit an episode that is solely about Jack’s discovery,” Ventimiglia said in an interview with People magazine. “It was extremely difficult to shoot. It was about his mother’s death and how he dealt with it, as well as the distance between them and the conversations he wished he had. Jack is the guy who is always striving to be the rock of the family, no matter what. What happens when that strength is no longer sufficient and it snaps? … It was difficult to shoot, but it was also really rewarding for me as an actor.”

When will the sixth season of This Is Us premiere?

 

 

The sixth and final season of The Simpsons began on NBC on January 4, 2022, rather than the show’s customary autumn launch date. Furthermore, since there will be no midseason break, the final season will be shown in its entirety.

“We are well aware that saying goodbye to the Pearsons would be difficult in and of itself. Consequently, we wanted to show our appreciation to the fans by giving them as close to an uninterrupted run as we possibly could, which was only possible during the middle of the season “French Berwick, Chairman, Entertainment Networks, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, told Deadline that the company was looking to expand its streaming services.

When will the This Is Us season 6 finale be shown on NBC?

It was revealed by the cast of The Blacklist at the network’s Scripted Press Day panel that the series finale would premiere on NBC on May 24.

“It’s going to come through. It is absolutely, positively going to deliver, “Ventimiglia has this to say regarding the show’s season finale.

What will happen at the finale of This Is Us?

 

 

Because the majority of the cast is aware of how the series will conclude, they have delivered a number of cryptic remarks regarding the finale throughout the years, describing it as “sad,” “beautiful,” “hopeful,” and “exciting,” among many other things.

Despite the fact that the show’s creator Dan Fogelman has been mum on what precisely is in store for the Pearson family, he did suggest that the finale would bring all of the show’s major mysteries to a satisfying conclusion.

“I’m hoping that at the conclusion of the series, there will be no stone unturned,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “You wouldn’t have anything else to question me about spoilers if you didn’t ask me. You may wish to phone me and express your dissatisfaction with what occurred to such-and-such. ‘I don’t like for the person such-and-such ended up with. But you won’t be asking yourself, “Who?” If we’ve accomplished that, I believe we’ve done our job and made the decisions that we believed were best for the characters and the tale as a whole. But, by the time it’s through, I don’t believe any of these time-travel questions will be left unanswered. Hopefully, it will pave the way for a really lovely and straightforward conclusion to the whole endeavour.”

Is there going to be a This Is Us spin-off?

 

 

This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman says there are no plans for a spinoff at this time, but he isn’t fully ruling out the possibility.

“Honestly, more than the monetary aspect of it all, we’re not all ready to call it quits on this show,” he previously said to Entertainment Weekly. “But I’ve remained strong on the creative front, recognising that it would be very difficult to move beyond where we’ve come this year and that it would be extremely difficult to maintain the level at which we’ve all attempted to maintain it. As a result, it surely seems that the end is nearing and that it is time to go. Who knows what the heck is going on? My wife is quite happy to finally be able to see the Sex and the City episode after all this time. As a result, I’m not talking about the far future — or even the near future — even if there are no plans at this time.”

The possibility of a spinoff series that does not closely follow the Pearson family has also been raised by Metz. For Metz, “it could be a fun spinoff to have a family that was somehow affiliated with the Pearsons — but not necessarily directly related” would be “a cool spinoff.” “In addition, perhaps we could come and go as we please. It was possible for us to enter and exit our storey at the same time that they entered and exited our storey It would be quite wonderful to have another family to hang out with.”

Possibly, a spinoff might provide additional background information on one of the show’s minor characters, such as Malik or Madison. Anything is possible in this world!
