==Series overview==
==Series overview==
The series follows the lives of siblings Kevin, Kate, and Randall (known as the "Big Three"), and their parents Jack and Rebecca Pearson. It takes place mainly in the present, but uses flashbacks and flashforwards to show other significant moments in the family's history. Kevin and Kate are the two surviving members of triplets, born six weeks [[Preterm birth|premature]] on Jack's 36th birthday in 1980; their brother Kyle was [[Stillbirth|stillborn]]. Believing they were meant to have three children, Jack and Rebecca decide to [[Adoption|adopt]] Randall, an African-American child born earlier that day and brought to the same hospital after his biological father William Hill abandoned him at a [[fire station]]. Jack dies when his children are 17. Rebecca later marries Jack's best friend Miguel.
The series follows the Pearson family over multiple decades. Siblings Kevin, Kate and Randall (known as "the big three") are followed in the present day, while non-linear flashbacks show their childhood and young adult lives with their parents, Jack and Rebecca. Kevin and Kate are the two surviving members of triplets, born six weeks [[Preterm birth|premature]] on Jack's 36th birthday in 1980; their brother Kyle was [[Stillbirth|stillborn]]. Believing they were meant to have three children, Jack and Rebecca decide to [[Adoption|adopt]] Randall, an [[African Americans|African American]] boy born earlier that day and brought to the same hospital after his biological father William Hill abandoned him at a [[fire station]]. Jack dies when his children are 17 due to a heart attack from a fire. Rebecca later marries Jack's best friend Miguel.


Randall becomes a successful finance professional and marries college classmate Beth; they raise two daughters (Tess and Annie) and adopt a third, Deja. Kevin becomes a successful actor while struggling to be taken seriously. After lacking direction much of her life, Kate meets and marries Toby, pursues a career in music, gets a degree, and becomes a mother.
Randall becomes a successful finance professional and marries college classmate Beth; they raise two daughters (Tess and Annie) and later adopt an older girl, Deja. Kevin becomes a successful actor while struggling to be taken seriously. After lacking direction much of her life and struggling with obesity, Kate meets and marries Toby, pursues a career in music, gets a degree, and becomes a mother.


Most episodes feature a storyline taking place in the present (2016–2022, contemporaneous with airing) and a storyline taking place at a set time in the past. Some episodes are set in one time period, or use multiple flashback time periods. Flashbacks often focus on Jack and Rebecca c. 1980, both before and after their babies' birth, or on the family when the Big Three are children or adolescents (and played by two sets of younger actors); these scenes usually take place in [[Pittsburgh]], where the Big Three and their parents are born and raised.

As adults, their homes vary more widely: Kate lives in [[Los Angeles]]; Randall and his family are in [[New Jersey]] (and later [[Philadelphia]]); and Kevin relocates from Los Angeles to [[New York City]] and back again, with a brief return to [[western Pennsylvania]] along the way. Various other time periods and locations have also served as settings. Some episodes have focused on the earlier experiences of other characters, including Randall's family members William, Deja, and Beth. Beginning in the second season, the show also uses [[flashforward]]s to show a later time period, when Randall's daughter Tess is an adult and an elderly Rebecca is on her deathbed.

In the second half of the final season, the contemporary narrative advances over several years to meet the flashforwards' time period.

This Is Us is an American drama television series created by Dan Fogelman that aired on NBC from September 20, 2016, to May 24, 2022.[1][2] The series follows the lives and families of two parents and their three children in several different time frames.[1] It stars an ensemble cast featuring Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz, Justin Hartley, Susan Kelechi Watson, Chris Sullivan, Ron Cephas Jones, Jon Huertas, Alexandra Breckenridge, Niles Fitch, Logan Shroyer, Hannah Zeile, Mackenzie Hancsicsak, Parker Bates, Eris Baker, Faithe Herman, Lonnie Chavis, Melanie Liburd, Lyric Ross, Asante Blackk, Griffin Dunne, Caitlin Thompson and Chris Geere. This Is Us was filmed in Los Angeles.[3]

In September 2016, NBC picked up the series for a full season of 18 episodes.[4] In January 2017, NBC renewed the series for two additional seasons of 18 episodes each,[5] and then in May 2019, it was renewed for three more seasons.[6] In May 2021, it was announced that the sixth would be its final season,[7] which premiered on January 4, 2022.[8]

Series overview

[edit]

The series follows the Pearson family over multiple decades. Siblings Kevin, Kate and Randall (known as "the big three") are followed in the present day, while non-linear flashbacks show their childhood and young adult lives with their parents, Jack and Rebecca. Kevin and Kate are the two surviving members of triplets, born six weeks premature on Jack's 36th birthday in 1980; their brother Kyle was stillborn. Believing they were meant to have three children, Jack and Rebecca decide to adopt Randall, an African American boy born earlier that day and brought to the same hospital after his biological father William Hill abandoned him at a fire station. Jack dies when his children are 17 due to a heart attack from a fire. Rebecca later marries Jack's best friend Miguel.

Randall becomes a successful finance professional and marries college classmate Beth; they raise two daughters (Tess and Annie) and later adopt an older girl, Deja. Kevin becomes a successful actor while struggling to be taken seriously. After lacking direction much of her life and struggling with obesity, Kate meets and marries Toby, pursues a career in music, gets a degree, and becomes a mother.

Most episodes feature a storyline taking place in the present (2016–2022, contemporaneous with airing) and a storyline taking place at a set time in the past. Some episodes are set in one time period or use multiple flashback time periods. Flashbacks often focus on Jack and Rebecca circa 1980, both before and after their children's birth, or on the family when the big three are children or adolescents, and are played by two sets of younger actors; these scenes usually take place in Pittsburgh, where the big three and their parents are born and raised.

As adults, their homes vary more widely: Kate lives in Los Angeles, Randall and his family are in New Jersey and later Philadelphia, and Kevin relocates from Los Angeles to New York City and back again, with a brief return to western Pennsylvania along the way. Various other time periods and locations have also served as settings. Some episodes have focused on the earlier experiences of other characters, including Randall's family members William, Deja, and Beth. Beginning in the second season, the show also uses occasional flashforwards to a later time period, where the family gather before Rebecca's death. In the second half of the final season, the contemporary narrative advances over several years to meet the flashforwards' time period.

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]

This is Us originally began as an 80-page movie script that Dan Fogelman was developing while working for ABC Studios in the spring of 2015.[22] The story line, which Fogelman admitted to not having a definite direction, revolved around the lives of eight adults who, as it would be revealed, were octuplets. After moving to an eight-figure deal with 20th Century Fox Television, Fogelman made the decision to develop a television series from the characters of his original script, cutting a few characters and shortening the script to 45 pages before bringing it to the studio. Jennifer Salke, president at NBC,[23][24] commented on the conception of a title for the series, saying "The title didn't come easy... but This Is Us tapped into everything, and the show's about us." It has been revealed that other ideas for the title included 36, Happy Birthday, and The Story of Us.[22]

Despite positive reviews from both 20th Century Fox Television and its sister company, Fox, there were concerns regarding risk of attracting an audience, and Fox sold it to NBC.[25] Fox did so because NBC promised to use the high volume of viewers from The Voice and the Summer Olympics to bring additional viewers to the series, and Fox wanted to solidify the reputation of its studio among writers and directors as placing shows where they are most likely to succeed, even if it is not Fox.[25]

On September 27, 2016, NBC picked up the series for a full season of 18 episodes.[4] In January 2017, NBC renewed the series for two additional seasons of 18 episodes each.[5] The second season premiered on September 26, 2017. The third season premiered on September 25, 2018.[26] In May 2019, NBC renewed the series for three additional seasons.[6] The fourth season premiered on September 24, 2019.[27] The fifth season premiered on October 27, 2020.[28] On May 12, 2021, it was announced that the series would conclude with the sixth season.[7][8] Production wrapped on May 3, 2022.[29]

Filming locations

[edit]

In addition to filming in Los Angeles, the series shot a few scenes on location in New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco and one in Memphis.[30] One of the locations used in Los Angeles was the real-life home of actress Alyson Hannigan and her family.

Commitment to diversity

[edit]

Fogelman intentionally recruited behind-the-scenes talent that would reflect the diversity of his cast, with the goal of bringing greater authenticity to the dialog and storylines. These include black directors Regina King and George Tillman Jr., and black female writers Kay Oyegun and Jas Waters (they were part of a 30% black core writing staff; far outpacing the industry standard of 5%).[31] In addition, Fogelman's sister Deborah, whose struggles with weight inspired one element of the show, serves as a consultant.[32]

The website's critical consensus reads, "Featuring full-tilt heartstring-tugging family drama, This Is Us will provide a suitable surrogate for those who have felt a void in their lives since Parenthood went off the air."[43] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the season a score of 76 out of 100 based on 34 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[44]

Season 4 received a 91% approval rating from Rotten Tomatoes based on 11 reviews, with an average of 7.3/10. The site's consensus reads: "This Is Us reaffirms that it is more than just a mystery box in its fourth season, pressing on with some of its most central questions answered – but its emotional power intact."[47]

Entertainment Weekly gave the show a grade B, calling it "a refreshing respite from the relational violence and pessimism that marks the other buzz soaps that have bubbled forth from a culture of divisiveness". Moreover, they praised all the actors, specifically Sterling K. Brown, for being able to navigate "his scenes with such intelligence, authenticity, and charisma".[48]
