Renewal Status and Production Timeline
This Is Us reached its planned conclusion after six seasons, with Season 6 serving as the series finale in 2022. There is no new season currently in production, and NBC has not ordered an additional season as of the latest available information. The show originally aired as a midseason replacement in fall 2016, building a multi-season audience through its character-driven storytelling and emotional drama by its conclusion in 2022.
Cast and Key Creative Team Returning
Since the series has concluded, there will not be a traditional "returning cast" for a next season. At the time of the finale, the core ensemble included Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Justin Hartley, Chrissy Metz, Jacob Moorer, and Niles Fitch, among others. Creators and showrunner Diane Ademu-John oversaw the final season alongside executive producers including John Requa, Glenn Ficarra, and Ben Sherwood.
Notable Plot Points and Ending Context
Season 6 resolved long-running arcs, including the future of the Pearson family across multiple timelines. The season and series closure focused on themes of legacy, grief, and reconciliation, providing clear endpoints for primary characters while leaving certain emotional threads open to interpretation. Fan discussions often center on alternate timelines and what-if scenarios rather than continuation.
