When Does The Last Episode Of This Is Us

Okay, let's talk about This Is Us. You know, the show that made us ugly-cry every single week? The show with so many flashbacks it gave us whiplash? Yeah, that one.
The burning question on everyone's mind was: when will it finally end? Seriously, when does the last episode of This Is Us air?
The Grand Finale (Or Was It?)
Remember May 24, 2022? That's the day they said goodbye. We all prepped our tissues. We ordered extra snacks for emotional support.
Must Read
It was the final episode, supposedly. The end of the Pearson family saga. Cue the waterworks!
My Unpopular Opinion Alert!
But here's the thing. And brace yourselves, because this might be controversial. I think This Is Us could have kept going.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the ending. It was sweet, sentimental, and perfectly Pearson-esque. But think about it...

The show thrives on generational stories. We could have seen even MORE Pearson grandkids! Imagine all the drama.
We could have followed them through high school. First loves, awkward phases, existential crises galore! The possibilities were endless.
More Tears, More Triumphs?
They could have jumped ahead another twenty years. Show us the Pearson grandkids navigating adulthood.
Career struggles? Relationship woes? Family secrets revealed? I'm getting emotional just thinking about it!

And let's be honest, we'd all still be tuning in every week. Armed with our tissues, ready to sob along with the Pearsons.
"But it ended so perfectly!" I hear you cry. "They wrapped up all the loose ends!"
Did they, though? Did they REALLY? I'm pretty sure there were a few plot threads dangling. A few unanswered questions.
Maybe that's just me being greedy. Maybe I just wasn't ready to say goodbye. Is anyone really ready to say goodbye to the Pearsons?

The Flashback Potential!
And think of the flashbacks! They could have gone even further back in time. Explore the early days of Jack and Rebecca's relationship.
Show us more of their parents' stories. Uncover even deeper family secrets. The flashback potential was truly limitless.
So, while the official last episode of This Is Us aired on May 24, 2022, a part of me still believes the story could continue.
A Pearson family reunion mini-series? A holiday special? Netflix, are you listening?

Okay, I'll stop now. But seriously, if they ever decide to bring it back, I'm in. Who's with me?
Even if it's just a two-hour special. Just give us one more glimpse into the lives of the Pearsons. Please?
Maybe it's time to rewatch the whole series. You know, just to refresh our memories. And cry a little (or a lot).
So yes, it did end. But in my heart, This Is Us could go on forever. Sue me.
