A Million Little Things is returning next month for its fifth and final season. Starring David Giuntoli, Romany Malco, Allison Miller, Christina Moses, Grace Park, James Roday Rodriguez, Floriana Lima, Tristan Byon, Lizzy Greene, and Chance Hurstfield, the series follows the lives of a group of friends. The final season will see the characters coming together to help one of their own.

Showrunner Terrence Coli said the following about ending the ABC series, per Deadline:

“It feels like a bookend. The friend group is going to rally around Gary [whose cancer returned in Season 4 and has kept it mostly a secret]. They have been there for reach other and have shown up, through all the trials and tribulations.”

DJ Nash, the creator of A Million Little Things, also spoke about the final season:

“When I shoot a pilot, I like to know where it’s ending. We knew right from the beginning this is where we are going. It’s a secret that was held between the EPs and the writers for a long time.”

Nash teased that viewers will see characters that they haven’t seen in a while reappear in the final episodes. Ron Livingston, who played Jon Dixon in the pilot, will appear, presumably in flashback. Original cast member Stéphanie Szostak, who plays Delilah, may also be back.

ABC has set the premiere date for the final season for February 8th. Check out a preview for season five of the drama below.
