The moment NBC’s incredible TV show, This Is Us, hit TV screens in 2016, it captured viewers’ attention (and their hearts) everywhere. Audiences seemed to love the sweet, emotional storyline and relatable characters, and their devotion sent This Is Us ratings skyrocketing during its 106-episode run. Critics love the show, too, nominating the This Is Us cast for 291 awards and 4 Primetime Emmy Awards. And while the show ended in 2022, the This is Us cast has still continued to shine bright on the silver screen since then. 

The show follows the Pearson Family (Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Chrissy Metz, Sterling K. Brown, and Justin Hartley) both in the past and in the present as they navigate things like parenthood, love, and loss and become in tune and touch with one’s self.

And while this show is filled with heartfelt moments, it is also filled with a lot of heartbreak (we don’t think we will ever look at a CrockPot the same way again). But that doesn’t stop us and the rest of the world from loving every single minute of it. 

Here, we’re catching up with the This Is Us cast then and now, and see what they are doing today!
