INDIANAPOLIS — The wait is almost over. The drama TV series "This Is Us" will kickoff season 5 with a two-hour premiere tonight.
Last week, NBC dropped a full trailer for what fans can expect from the upcoming season.
Season 5 was originally scheduled to air Nov. 10 but was moved up as an early Christmas gift to fans — or at least we'd like to this so.
While we never know what to expect from the Pearson family, one thing we can count on is that this season will tackle the coronavirus pandemic.
Creator Dan Fogelman shared the news on Twitter while answering a series of questions following Deadline's Contenders Television: The Nominees event.
"Yes on Covid," Fogelman tweeted. "We've decided to attack things head on. Very proud of @ThisIsUsWriters."
And great news, fans: The show has already been picked up through season 6.
"This Is Us" follows the lives of the Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca Pearson (Mandy Moore) and their three children, Randall (Sterling K. Brown), Kevin (Justin Hartley) and Kate (Chrissy Metz).
The upcoming season of "This Is Us" will premiere at 9 p.m. ET, Tuesday, Oct. 27 on NBC.
