NBC’s immensely successful drama series That is Us will allegedly be coming to an end after the finish of its upcoming season 6. The show, which stars an ensemble cast led by Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, Sterling K. Brown, and Chrissy Metz, has won a lot of awards, including several Emmys, and has been one of those most-watched shows on television since its very first season. NBC has yet to announce a formal premiere date for This Is Us season 6.
This Is Us tells the story of three adult siblings whose storylines intersect and diverge in different ways through the show. The characters cope with grounded problems tied to themes of family, parenthood, self-image, mental health, and finding function in mid-century life. Critics have praised the show for its powerful writing and psychological performances, each of which have helped elevate That Is Us to one of the most popular broadcast series of the contemporary era.
Sadly, that journey will soon be coming to a conclusion. That is Us season 6 are the show’s final outing on NBC. The series was renewed through the end of season 6 in 2019, and it appears that is exactly what founder Dan Fogelman had to tell the comprehensive story. Hopefully, the planned end will mean a complete and satisfying conclusion for the lovers to whom This Is Us has meant so much.
Although its tearjerker character has been greatly memed, That Is Us remains one of the more successful and influential non-streaming shows in recent decades. The delicate handling of complicated, emotional adult storylines has made it justified praise throughout the board, and it has launched a number of actors to the spotlight of superstardom. Sterling K. Brown has earned particular praise for his performance as Randall Pearson, which made him an Emmy win in 2017.
If season 6 has been written with the end in mind – likely given how Fogelman has discussed the philosophical story – That Is Us includes a genuine chance to end as strong as it started. The show’s earnest, the vulnerable brand of relationship-focused drama isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, however it has been the perfect match for a large crowd of devoted fans. With luck, NBC will announce the show’s official return date in the near future. After that, it’s only an issue of stockpiling cells and counting the days until the That Is Us series finale.
