This Is Us season 6 could be the final one for the NBC series. Reportedly, the plan is to wrap up the story and tie all the loose ends in the sixth installment. Now, it seems like the decision won't be changed and the network will proceed to end the show.
This Is Us season 6 hasn't been in production as of the moment, given that the fifth installment is yet to be released. Despite that, there is already a clear plan for the future of the series. It looks like there's no hope for the possibility of another season beyond the sixth installment.
In a recent interview with Good Housekeeping, Sterling K. Brown, who plays Randall Pearson, is seemingly contented about the plan to wrap up the story in This Is Us season 6. He made it clear that he's ready to end the series when it's supposed to end.
While Brown noted he doesn't know whether or not the sixth installment is the final one, he's said he's ready for the show to come to an end. He explained that he wanted viewers to watch the show and say things like: "I wish the Pearsons could've stayed around longer."
The actor wants them to be like one of the greatest running backs in the NFL, Barry Sanders. He played for nine seasons, and then retired after that. Brown wanted people to have the same reaction, which is leaving the audience hanging and wanting more.
Based on what he said, it's apparent that the plan for This Is Us season 6 won't change. Also, Brown made a good comparison since other shows out there didn't end up anywhere near as long as they should have. The final installment could bring a proper send-off to everyone.
For now, the release date of This Is Us season 6 remains uncertain. Production for the fifth installment has been delayed due to the current global health crisis. The good thing is that the new season is set to premiere later this month.
This is an unexpected move for the series, considering the current global health crisis. Filming kicked off in September, so a lot of works are needed to be done. But, one of the unique things about the show is that work can be finished quickly since it does not require extensive post-production and special effects.
This Is Us season 5 is coming on Tuesday, Oct. 27, on NBC.
