After six years of good and loyal service, the Pearson family will soon have to bow out. This is Us fans have discovered the adventures of Jack, Rebecca, Kate, Kevin and Rendall during different timelines. These endearing characters have transported us into a whirlwind of emotions and we are already dreading the end of the series. Moreover, NBC has unveiled the broadcast date of the Series Finale… May 24 will be a day that will remain etched in our memories and we will have to take out a good dose of tissues. It is very likely that This is Us ends with the death of the matriarch and if that is the case, we will shed many tears. But then, after this final episode, Could the Pearsons get together again?
Freshly confirmed that the This Is Us finale will premiere in May, series creator Dan Fogelman is already talking about the potential for a future film. This is not unheard of in the era of series. Of course, everyone thinks Sex and the City, Breaking Bad, Entourage, The Simpsons and The Sopranos, who were entitled to a film after the broadcast of their Series Finale. Speaking during the NBC’s Scripted Press Day, Dan Fogelman has confided in this subject. “I say no to nothing”he first said, before adding: “If we can find a movie and we can get together with the cast again in a few years, I would love.”

The showrunner of This is Us also continued, while teasing the Series Finale: “I don’t know what it would be because we end our story in the series finale. ..It’s not because we have no more story to tell, it’s because we exactly planned it to go in this direction. We’re on a five year trajectory and we suddenly have to pivot and add more because we don’t want it to end wouldn’t be entirely responsible for the series and what we planned and it would start to become something else.” Dan Fogelman therefore qualified his remarks. “I don’t know what this movie could be”, he explained. Then concluded: “By the end of this season, I think we will have told the whole story, so I’m not sure it’s like you’re doing the movie like what would have happened if Jack survived the fire or something.” As we know, everything is possible in the world of series…
