Contents

In September 2016, NBC picked up the series for a full season of 18 episodes. [4] In January 2017, NBC renewed the series for two additional seasons of 18 episodes each, [5] and then in May 2019, it was renewed for three more seasons. [6] In May 2021, it was announced that the sixth would be its final season, [7] which premiered on January 4, 2022. [8]

Series overview

The series follows the Pearson family over multiple decades. Siblings Kevin, Kate and Randall (known as "the big three") are followed in the present day, while non-linear flashbacks show their childhood and young adult lives with their parents, Jack and Rebecca. Kevin and Kate are the two surviving members of triplets, born six weeks premature on Jack's 36th birthday in 1980; their brother Kyle was stillborn. Believing they were meant to have three children, Jack and Rebecca decide to adopt Randall, an African American boy born earlier that day and brought to the same hospital after his biological father William Hill abandoned him at a fire station. Jack dies when his children are 17 due to a heart attack from a fire. Rebecca later marries Jack's best friend Miguel.

Randall becomes a successful finance professional and marries college classmate Beth; they raise two daughters (Tess and Annie) and later adopt an older girl, Deja. Kevin becomes a successful actor while struggling to be taken seriously. After lacking direction much of her life and struggling with obesity, Kate meets and marries Toby, pursues a career in music, gets a degree, and becomes a mother.

Most episodes feature a storyline taking place in the present (2016–2022, contemporaneous with airing) and a storyline taking place at a set time in the past. Some episodes are set in one time period or use multiple flashback time periods. Flashbacks often focus on Jack and Rebecca circa 1980, both before and after their children's birth, or on the family when the big three are children or adolescents, and are played by two sets of younger actors; these scenes usually take place in Pittsburgh, where the big three and their parents are born and raised.

As adults, their homes vary more widely: Kate lives in Los Angeles, Randall and his family are in New Jersey and later Philadelphia, and Kevin relocates from Los Angeles to New York City and back again, with a brief return to western Pennsylvania along the way. Various other time periods and locations have also served as settings. Some episodes have focused on the earlier experiences of other characters, including Randall's family members William, Deja, and Beth. Beginning in the second season, the show also uses occasional flashforwards to a later time period, where the family gather before Rebecca's death. In the second half of the final season, the contemporary narrative advances over several years to meet the flashforwards' time period.

Production

Development

This is Us originally began as an 80-page movie script that Dan Fogelman was developing while working for ABC Studios in the spring of 2015. [22] The story line, which Fogelman admitted to not having a definite direction, revolved around the lives of eight adults who, as it would be revealed, were octuplets. After moving to an eight-figure deal with 20th Century Fox Television, Fogelman made the decision to develop a television series from the characters of his original script, cutting a few characters and shortening the script to 45 pages before bringing it to the studio. Jennifer Salke, president at NBC, [23] [24] commented on the conception of a title for the series, saying "The title didn't come easy... but This Is Us tapped into everything, and the show's about us." It has been revealed that other ideas for the title included 36, Happy Birthday, and The Story of Us. [22]

Despite positive reviews from both 20th Century Fox Television and its sister company, Fox, there were concerns regarding risk of attracting an audience, and Fox sold it to NBC. [25] Fox did so because NBC promised to use the high volume of viewers from The Voice and the Summer Olympics to bring additional viewers to the series, and Fox wanted to solidify the reputation of its studio among writers and directors as placing shows where they are most likely to succeed, even if it is not Fox. [25]

On September 27, 2016, NBC picked up the series for a full season of 18 episodes. [4] In January 2017, NBC renewed the series for two additional seasons of 18 episodes each. [5] The second season premiered on September 26, 2017. The third season premiered on September 25, 2018. [26] In May 2019, NBC renewed the series for three additional seasons. [6] The fourth season premiered on September 24, 2019. [27] The fifth season premiered on October 27, 2020. [28] On May 12, 2021, it was announced that the series would conclude with the sixth season. [7] [8] Production wrapped on May 3, 2022. [29]

Filming locations

In addition to filming in Los Angeles, the series shot a few scenes on location in New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco and one in Memphis. [30] One of the locations used in Los Angeles was the real-life home of actress Alyson Hannigan and her family.

Commitment to diversity

Fogelman intentionally recruited behind-the-scenes talent that would reflect the diversity of his cast, with the goal of bringing greater authenticity to the dialog and storylines. These include black directors Regina King and George Tillman Jr., and black female writers Kay Oyegun and Jas Waters (they were part of a 30% black core writing staff; far outpacing the industry standard of 5%). [31] In addition, Fogelman's sister Deborah, whose struggles with weight inspired one element of the show, serves as a consultant. [32]

Release

In May 2017, Hulu acquired the SVOD rights to new and past episodes of the series to air exclusively on Hulu, in addition to NBC.com and the NBC app. [33] Internationally, the SVOD rights to This Is Us is shared between Hulu's sister streaming service, Disney+ under the Star content hub and Amazon Prime Video who previously acquired the exclusive streaming rights to the series back in 2017 until Disney+ made a deal with Prime Video to share the rights. [34] [35] In the United States, the series was added to Netflix on January 8, 2024. [36]

Moreover, they praised all the actors, specifically Sterling K. Brown, for being able to navigate "his scenes with such intelligence, authenticity, and charisma". [48]
