We could learn more about the relationship between Rebecca and Miguel once This Is Us season 5 arrives on NBC. Their relationship has been surrounded by questions, and we don't get a lot of answers as to what they really are. Now, it looks like the series will finally address the storyline of these two.
Entering This Is Us season 5, Rebecca and Miguel are isolated in St. Louis and this situation could test their relationship. Speaking to TVInsider, series star Many Moore, who plays Rebecca, discussed how the series shifts its focus on her character and Miguel's relationship.
It is not necessary like her love story with Jack, but Miguel is also a significant part of Rebecca's life. Moore revealed that they've been talking about this particular storyline for many years and it'll finally happen in the upcoming installment.
The actress also explained that writers were probably anxious to explore Rebecca and Miguel's relationship. After all, a lot of people are rooting for Rebecca and Jack. But with Miguel, there are stories that weren't yet explored and his presence could further impact the Pearsons.
Perhaps, This Is Us season 5 could see the early days of Rebecca and Miguel and how their relationship was like before. It's also interesting to see what they have overcome in the past. They've been resilient due to the things they've been forced to deal with in the past.
Since Rebecca is entering the trial for her Alzheimer's diagnosis, it could lead her to remembering different stories. It could likely bring some memories with Miguel, something that weren't shown before. There might be some revelations that will shock everyone.
Apart from exploring her relationship with Miguel, This Is Us season 5 could also explore other aspects of Rebecca's life. For instance, her past wasn't always the center of everything as Jack tends to have the spotlight. It would be nice to see how her story stands out this time and be fleshed out.
Meanwhile, the official release date of the new installment wasn't yet revealed. While the series could arrive in the fall, nothing is certain at the moment. Because of the global health crisis, there are a lot of uncertainties. Filming could begin when the situation gets a little bit better.
But although the premiere of This Is Us season 5 is still unknown, recent reports suggest writers have been already planning out the stories virtually. It can be noted that the series usually kicks off the writers' room earlier than other shows.
