This Is Us season 5 is officially coming on NBC, but there's still uncertainty on when production could begin. It remains unclear when filming could kick off since the global health crisis is still one of the biggest concerns here. Yet, it looks like the series is eyeing for a specific month to stat everything.
According to a report from SpoilerTV, This Is Us season 5 could begin filming in September, though there is no specific date as to when it could be. CarterMatt noted that if the plan will push through, we could see new episodes dropping at some point in November.
However, it should be noted that this is just a tentative plan. Hence, some things might be changed depending on the current situation. There are a lot of things that should be considered first, particularly ensuring the health and safety of everyone on set.
The good news is that writers have been planning out the stories virtually. The series kicks off writers' room earlier than other shows. Now, one of the questions here is whether or not the writers will address the real-life issues in This Is Us season 5.
This is quite challenging for the series compared to other programs out there since the story follows a specific timeline. While they could feature such stories, the biggest challenge here is that some set points might be hit along the way.
But, one of the certain stories that will be explored in the new season is Rebecca (Mandy Moore) and Miguel's (Jon Huertas) storyline. There have been a lot of questions regarding their relationship and we don't get answers as to what they really are.
This Is Us season 5 will, finally, address this particular storyline. In a previous interview with TVInsider, Moore discussed how the story shifts on Rebecca and Miguel's relationship. While it's not similar to her love story with Jack (Milo Ventimiglia), Huertas' character becomes a significant part of her life.
Moore explained that writers were anxious to explore this storyline since a lot of people are rooting for Rebecca and Jack. Yet, Miguel is a huge part of the story moving forward and his presence could impact the Pearsons in a huge way.
This Is Us season 5 could feature the early days of Rebecca and Miguel and how their relationship evolved. Since the former is entering her trial for her Alzheimer's diagnosis, she could remember different stories from the past. Some of her memories with Miguel that weren't shown before might be revealed, leading to some revelations that will shock everyone.
