Gasp! ‘This Is Us’ Creator Reveals Season 3 Spoilers & Says He’s Already Filmed Parts of the Series Finale

This Is Us constantly tests our emotional fortitude, but the latest Pearson family news is a little more than we can handle. 

During a For Your Consideration panel in Los Angeles yesterday, series creator Dan Fogelman reminded us that at some point the show will eventually end and he’s actually prepared for it. (Not to be dramatic, but does anyone else feel personally victimized by Regina George Dan Fogelman?)

“We’re pretty far along. Our writers and I are kind of to the end. We have a path for each season of the show. We’ve always had a plan… I don’t think this show will ever—despite any success it may or may not have—will ever overstay its welcome, and we have a story to tell,” he explained. “And we want to do this the right way. And so we have a plan. I’ve actually already shot pieces of the final scene in the series.”

Fogelman went on to say that season three will dive into Toby’s (Chris Sullivan) depression and Beth’s (Susan Kelechi Watson) backstory. Each character will get an episode dedicated to their story and, as the This Is Us creator warned, “You’re going to be surprised what Toby and Beth were like before they entered this family.” Hmm…

Last but not least, he touched on the whole “her” mystery from the season two finale flash-forward with Randall (Sterling K. Brown) and adult Tess (Iantha Richardson), saying, “Our plan right now is that big questions will be answered in the course of the season. I think people are going to be surprised with how we use that timeline.”

Unfortunately for us, Fogelman didn’t spill any deets on when we can expect season three to hit NBC. It seems Gretchen Weiners isn’t the only one with hair full of secrets.
