Only one season remains of This Is Us, and Mandy Moore and others in the main cast already know how the NBC series will end. Scenes for the series finale were shot years ago, according to the actress. This had been hinted at in the past by those behind the series.
Moore said the following about the end of the NBC series, per Deadline:
“We know some pretty big milestone moments. We just don’t know in what order it’s going to come out, and when it’s going to necessarily come out,” explained Moore. “But I think we know the big picture of big things that are happening, especially for our characters.”
Regarding her character’s battle with Alzheimer’s, Moore said, “I know that it will be handled with care and consideration, and grace and respect, in the way that I think we handle all difficult subjects on the show. I don’t know exactly how we’re going to see that unfold though, specifically. But I do know that it’s going to be pretty devastating, as the disease is devastating.”
The actress also spoke about how it feels to be ending the series:
“The show changed…all of our lives, so it’s hard to imagine…Like, where do you go from here? Just simply, selfishly, as an actor, I’m like, ‘There will never, ever be a job like this, ever again.’ It’s just like a dream upon a dream, upon a dream, and it’s a once-in-a-career job. So in that sense, I’m holding on for dear life, and I’m going to savor every single moment next season. I think we all do every year.”
This Is Us will return with its sixth and final season next January. An exact premiere date will be set at a later date.
What do you think? Are you a fan of This Is Us on NBC? Are you ready for the drama to end or did you wish there were more seasons ahead?
I have not missed one second of this wonderful show, I feel that I have a deep connection with each and every character. I do wish that the Pearson family would go on forever but we all know that is not possible. Toby you’re the man and Randall what can I say I will miss you most of all buddy
I’ve watched & loved every minute of every episode of This Is Us. For the last 5 seasons I’ve been so caught up in the lives of this wonderful imaginary family that I can’t even think about it ending. I hated to see Kate marrying another man in the last episode, but expected it when we saw her adult son come into the house Kevin built for Rebecca. Honestly I hoped she had died, but only because she & Toby had such a beautiful love story. Something has made me cry happy or sad tears every episode, but I think… Read more »
There has never been a TV show like This is Us. Programs with violence and just a bunch of garbage are renewed and hod shows are ending. Makes no sense.
Very sad that This is Us has only one season left. It seems the year of Covid has somehow brought an end to many of the really good shows. Not sure if it is related but I hate it either way!
I am a fan nice to watch a series that isn’t violent but family orientated families aren’t as close in real life as they used to be so this show is a refreshing change keep it going for at least another 2 seasons
