This Is Us season 5 is coming on NBC, but there's still a question as to when it will arrive on the network. Because of the current global health crisis, the series has been impacted. But despite that, be prepared for powerful stories coming, such as fully exploring Rebecca Pearson's journey to understand her story.
In This Is Us season 5, Mandy Moore's character will enter the trial for her Alzheimer's diagnosis. This could lead to different stories down the road, particularly in understating Rebecca's relationship with Miguel. Perhaps, we're probably going to see something about them and their relationship that we haven't seen before.
But aside from that storyline, This Is Us season 5 may also dive into Rebecca's past. Her story wasn't really fully explored, as Jack was usually the center of everything. He has a reputation being a perfect father, but since he's no longer alive, this is a chance for Rebecca's story to stand out and be fleshed out.
Kevin, Kate, and Randall probably lost sight with all the things Rebecca did for them. She's been there for the family, and as the Big Three grapple with the reality now, this is a chance to recognize all the things that she's done for them and show gratitude.
Rebecca is one of the most interesting characters in the series, and This Is Us season 5 is an opportunity for her to stand out among everyone else. Everything could change now; her story might be given a spotlight so that viewers would further understand her backstory.
Meanwhile, the official release date of the upcoming installment is still hanging up in the air. There have been questions when it comes to the filming, given that the real-life health crisis makes it impossible to start working anytime soon. And as of this writing, NBC hasn't yet released its fall schedule.
Even though the premiere date is uncertain, the writers have reportedly been planning out the story virtually. They are working on the story right now, despite the current situation. After all, the series tends to kick off the writers room early compared to other shows.
The good news is that This Is Us season 5 wouldn't be the final installment of the series, as there are reportedly two more seasons coming. That means more stories will continue to unfold as the show progresses. There could also be big reveals, as well as unexpected twists and turns that could potentially impact the Pearson family.
