Is Season 5 This Is Us The Last Season

Okay, picture this: You’re comfy on the couch, snacks are ready, and the This Is Us theme song starts. Instant happy tears, right? But then a thought creeps in: Is Season 5 the end of this beautiful, emotional rollercoaster?

Well, hold onto your tissues, folks, because the answer is a resounding… mostly no! Season 5 was definitely NOT the final curtain call for the Pearson clan.

Think of it like your favorite ice cream. Would you want only five scoops ever? Didn't think so!

So, What Happened After Season 5?

Instead of saying goodbye, we got one more season of the show. Yes, you heard it right, a beautiful and moving Season 6.

It’s like finding an extra fry at the bottom of your McDonald's bag – a delightful surprise! The storylines wrapped up in a way that felt both heartbreaking and heartwarming. You know, the This Is Us way.

Why the Confusion?

I know why you're confused. Season 5 had a lot of cliffhangers, a pandemic plot, and the feeling that major storylines were coming to a head. It was intense!

It felt like the show was preparing to end. It was emotional, just like a wedding. You think of it as the end of singlehood, but it's just the beginning of marriage.

Plus, some people are naturally dramatic. We hear "the end" and immediately prepare for the worst!

The Real Farewell: Season 6

This Is Us ended with Season 6. NBC announced it way back when they renewed the show. It was planned!

This allowed the writers to craft a truly satisfying conclusion. They wanted to give the Pearsons a proper send-off.

Think of it as baking a cake. You need to know when to pull it out of the oven. If not you get charcoal, not a cake!

Did They Stick the Landing?

The million-dollar question! Everyone has their own opinion, of course. But most fans agree that Dan Fogelman and the team did a pretty good job.

The finale wasn't about huge twists or shocking revelations. It was about those small, everyday moments that make up a life, the ones that This Is Us always highlighted so well. It reminds you of your granddad's stories, simple, but meaningful.

Prepare for more tears, laughter, and maybe a sudden urge to call your mom.

So, What Now?

The series may be over, but the memories remain. You can re-watch the whole show on streaming services!

Relive those moments, ugly-cry to your heart's content, and remind yourself that even though endings are sad, they're also a part of the beautiful mess that is life.

So go ahead, put on your comfiest pajamas, grab a box of tissues, and dive back into the world of the Pearsons. It’s like a warm hug from your TV.
