By Pippa RagaMar. 23 2021, Updated 12:12 p.m. ET
Season 3 of This Is Us is coming to an in depth tonight and truthfully, we can't comprise our feels. Even although the Pearsons' drama can continuously be excessive — what with Uncle Nicky's return, Kate's pregnancy and baby complications, and Beth and Randall's marital woes — we don't know what we're going to do with our Tuesday nights till our favorite show comes again.
When will This Is Us go back for Season 4?
And although it still technically hasn't been renewed for a fourth season, we are no doubt expecting This Is Us to go back to our TVs next fall. We hope to peer a teaser trailer mid-May, judging from the timeline of Season 2 and three's drops.
And despite the fact that you could be to your feels about This Is Us coming to a close, chill out! There's much more drama to come. In reality, show writer Dan Fogelman and actors Milo Ventimiglia (Jack) and Justin Hartley (Kevin) have managed to ease our nervousness by way of letting us know Season 3's finishing is simplest the midway mark for the show.
"I think creatively they have an idea of what they'd like to do, to kind of wrap it up in this nice story," Milo published in an interview on The Ellen Show. "At least fans know they're going to get three more seasons, which is nice, you can commit. It's not like will it be on, won't it be on — but beyond that, we don't know."
What will Season 4 be about?
Although this season delivered far more than we asked for in the way of Beth's backstory, Kate's being pregnant, Kevin's fall off the wagon and Randall's political profession, die-hard enthusiasts agree for essentially the most section that Season 3 facilities at the identity of "her." "Her," you'll take into account from the mid-season finale, is the person everybody is dashing to seek advice from within the hospital.
That personality's identification will be printed in tonight's finale, Dan Fogelman promises. "I think we can guess really. The plan is in the course of the season you will get a lot of answers," Dan stated remaining fall, in step with Deadline. “You’re going to get it in little doses and also you’re going to get your solutions. We’re now not going to string it out over seven seasons. People gets their resolution," he concluded, leading viewers to believe the identity of "her" will be revealed this season.
But Season 4 promises to explore a new mystery entirely. "The 3rd season's finale sets up Season 4 —which we haven't been picked up for, by way of the way — better than I feel Season 1 set up 2, and Season 2 set up 3," Justin Hartley informed TV Line. "People are going to be so frustrated with the questions that it leaves you with, but also glad with what it leads to. It's that standard This Is Us factor that we do, the place we just stay other folks wanting more," he teased.
Randall and Beth will work through their marital issues — but Beth definitely won't die.
It doesn't seem like a stretch to say that Season 4 will see Randall and Beth working through their deep-seated issues with communication and team playing. We hope they won't get divorced, but it doesn't seem like a huge stretch anymore at this point in the series.
However, it's worth mentioning that, from the flashbacks we saw around the mid-season finale of Season 3, we have a hunch they'll end up back together, even if that means taking space from each other for the next few months. But one thing is for certain: Susan Kelechi Watson, the actress who plays Beth, isn't getting killed off any time soon.
Which we didn't even know we were supposed to fear! Susan opened up to Entertainment Weekly to say that her mother didn't want to tune in to Season 4. "I used to be like, 'Why?' She's like, 'Because they will kill you, and I do not find it irresistible'," Susan relayed. "I used to be like, 'Mom they are no longer going to kill me!' Dan and I spoke about it — they are not going to kill Beth. She's going to continue to exist. It feels just right to know," she said.
The cast and showrunners know how This Is Us is going to end.
Although we're definitely short on spoilers for next season considering Season 3 hasn't yet come to a close, it's interesting to note that all the characters' storylines are already written and that Dan Fogelman has even shot some of the scenes of the series finale, scheduled to air about three years from now.
"We didn’t want to get stuck. We have the kids and the timelines. I don’t suppose this show—regardless of any luck it may or would possibly not have—will overstay its welcome. I’ve if truth be told already shot items of the general scene of the series," he said in a panel last May.
In an interview with Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Mandy Moore, who plays Rebecca, echoed Dan's sentiment. "I believe the ending will likely be very fulfilling for folks," she said. "I think it’s very true to what the display conjures up from all of us. People will really feel their emotions."
We're decidedly already feeling our emotions, and we do not even know what's to return!
Don't leave out Season 3's finale of This Is Us on NBC this night at nine p.m.
