After the end of its third season in 2019, the series was renewed for three more seasons, and now, Variety reports that the show will officially end after the upcoming season. The news may not be that surprising to the fans as the makers have said on multiple occasions that they are planning to wrap things up after the sixth season.

This Is Us follows the lives of the Pearson family across several generations. It features Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Sterling K Brown, Chrissy Metz and Justin Hartley in the lead roles. 

Susan Kelechi Watson, Chris Sullivan, Jon Huertas, Hannah Zeile, Niles Fitch, Logan Shroyer, Mackenzie Hancsicsak, Parker Bates, Lonnie Chavis, Faithe Herman, Eris Baker, Lyric Ross, Asante Blackk and Griffin Dunne also star in the series.

The 20th Century Fox Television show has been created by Dan Fogelman, who also executive produces it alongside Isaac Aptaker, Elizabeth Berger, John Requa, Glenn Ficarra, Ken Olin, Charlie Gogolak and Jess Rosenthal and Steve Beers.
