This Is Us Cast Filmed Half The Series Finale Years Ago & Had No Idea
The creator and stars of This Is Us explain how the flashback sequences in the series finale were accomplished. The NBC family drama, which was created by Dan Fogelman, originally premiered season 1 on September 20, 2016, and ran for a total of six seasons. Although the first episode followed five different people celebrating their 30th birthday, it was later revealed that two of them (played by Milo Ventimiglia and Mandy Moore) were the parents of the other three (played by Justin Hartley, Chrissy Metz, and Sterling K.

TheThis Is Us series finale, which was titled «Us,» aired on May 24, 2022. In the current timeline, it followed the Big Three as they reeled from a major loss that has been impending throughout the season and faced the future. However, the show has always had one foot in the past, and it underscored the emotional goings-on with scenes set at a relaxing day of family fun, in which the Pearsons stayed home and played games.
