When Does New Season Of This Is Us Start

Okay, folks, let's get straight to the point. If you're here wondering when you can curl up on the couch with a box of tissues (or two... or ten) for a new season of This Is Us, prepare for some slightly heartbreaking news. Grab a cookie. You'll need it.

Because, sadly, there isn't going to be a new season. Zip. Nada. Finito. Kaput. Think of it as the series equivalent of when your favorite ice cream flavor gets discontinued. It's a tough pill to swallow, we know.

Wait, What?! No More Pearson Family Drama?

Yep, you heard right. This Is Us aired its final episode on May 24, 2022. We know, we know, it feels like just yesterday we were all collectively sobbing over Jack's death (again) or celebrating new additions to the family.

The show concluded its beautiful, albeit tear-jerking, run after six seasons. Think of it as a really long, emotional rollercoaster ride – one that left us feeling both completely drained and strangely fulfilled. We had a lot of characters that were played by big stars like Milo Ventimiglia and Mandy Moore.

But Why Did It End?

Well, according to the show's creator, Dan Fogelman, six seasons was always the plan. He had a roadmap for the Pearson family saga, and he stuck to it! Some might argue they could have milked it for another six seasons, but hey, at least they went out on their own terms.

And let's be honest, stretching a story too thin can often lead to diminishing returns. Remember that sitcom you used to love that went on for, like, fifteen seasons too long? Let's avoid that situation.

So, What Now? (Besides Re-watching Old Episodes, Obviously)

If you're feeling a serious This Is Us withdrawal, don't despair! There are plenty of ways to fill that Pearson-sized hole in your heart.

Firstly, re-watching is always a solid option. You might catch things you missed the first (or fifth) time around. Plus, it's a great excuse to binge-watch with friends and family, reliving all those epic moments together.

Secondly, there are a ton of other heartwarming (and occasionally heart-wrenching) shows out there that might scratch that same itch. Think shows like Parenthood or A Million Little Things.

Lastly, dive into interviews with the cast and crew! There's a wealth of behind-the-scenes information and insights into the show's creation. You might even learn some surprising facts about your favorite characters.

The Legacy of the Pearsons

Even though This Is Us is over, its impact on television and our collective emotions is undeniable. It reminded us of the importance of family, the complexities of relationships, and the power of simply being human.

So, while there won't be a new season, the Pearson family will live on in our memories (and our streaming queues) for years to come. Just be sure to keep those tissues handy. You know, just in case.

And who knows? Maybe one day, Dan Fogelman will surprise us with a reunion movie or a spin-off series. Hey, a fan can dream, right?

In the meantime, let's all raise a glass (of virtual lemonade, perhaps) to the Pearsons and the beautiful, messy, and utterly unforgettable story they shared with us. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I need to go re-watch the pilot episode... for research purposes, of course.
