‘This Is Us’ Season 6 To Premiere In January On NBC

Season 6 of the hit NBC drama This Is Us has been given a January 2022 release date.

The series first aired back in September 2016, with a remarkable cast that includes Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Justin Hartley, Chrissy Metz and Sterling K. Brown. It follows the lives of two parents and their three children across multiple years and time periods.

The show has run for five seasons, attracting heavy viewership and critical success, resulting in Golden Globe and Emmy Awards for Brown.

This Is Us has been praised for its commitment to diversity, as well as strong storytelling and character development. According to reports from EW, the show’s sixth season will be its final installment and will consist of 18 episodes that will begin airing on January 4, 2022.

The show centers on the Pearson family through multiple timelines. With the finale of season 5 airing back in May, This is Us season 6 will finally air after its longest hiatus so far.

The entire core cast is expected to return for the forthcoming season, which will look to wrap up several stories. Creator Dan Fogelman has remained hush about how the show will end, simply choosing to tweet, “I’m very excited. I’m also incredibly sad. We’re pretty deep in and Season Six is turning me inside out. #ThisIsUs.”

So, while it doesn’t appear fans will get a hint about how things will end ahead of time, This Is Us is sure to have an emotional ending.
