When Does The Final Season Of This Is Us Start

Okay, let's talk This Is Us. Specifically, when in the world did that final season actually happen? I feel like I blinked, and suddenly everyone was sobbing about the Big Three, and I'm like, "Wait, where was I?"

The Great Season Six Time Warp

Seriously, it feels like it was both yesterday and a decade ago. Maybe time just moves differently when you’re dealing with that much family drama. Is it just me, or did everyone else miss the memo too?

It's like a collective amnesia. One minute, we're all yelling at Randall through our TVs. The next, boom – it's over! Where did 2022 go?

The Official Answer (But Does It Feel Right?)

Fine, fine. Technically, the final season, aka Season Six, premiered on January 4, 2022. And it wrapped up on May 24, 2022. See? Simple!

But honestly, does that feel right? Doesn't it feel like it existed in some weird, pre-pandemic/post-pandemic twilight zone? Maybe that's just me projecting.

I swear I remember watching it, then promptly forgetting everything because…well, life. Between working from home and trying to remember what day it was, This Is Us became a beautiful, blurry memory.

My Unpopular Opinion: It Never Really Ended

Here's where I get controversial. Buckle up. My unpopular opinion? This Is Us never truly ended.

Hear me out! The themes, the characters, the gut-wrenching emotions… they're timeless. We still argue about whether Jack was really that perfect (he wasn't, fight me!).

We still tear up at the thought of Rebecca. We still wonder if Kevin ever really got his act together. These stories live on!

Living in Our Heads Rent-Free

The Pearson family has officially taken up permanent residence in my brain. They're like that annoying but lovable roommate who leaves their socks everywhere but also makes you coffee in the morning.

So, did the final season air in 2022? Sure, according to the official record. But in my heart, it's always playing. Always looping.

Like a really long, slightly depressing, but ultimately heartwarming TikTok. Am I right?

The Real Question: Are We Ready for a Reboot?

Okay, I know, I know. Too soon. But think about it! A whole new generation of Pearsons! More Thanksgiving dinners gone awry!

More questionable fashion choices from the 70s! The possibilities are endless! Plus, we could all use another good cry, right?

Maybe, just maybe, in another decade or so, we'll be ready for round two. Until then, I'll just be over here, re-watching old episodes and pretending it's all happening in real-time.

So, to answer the original question: the final season started when it needed to. When we needed to cry, laugh, and feel all the feelings. And honestly, isn't that what really matters?

And if you still think it ended in 2022... well, that's okay too. We can agree to disagree. Just don't tell me Miguel didn't deserve better!
