This Is Us [NBC]

Pre-empted this week by the Presidential Address, NBC’s hit drama “This Is Us” will return with an original episode on March 7.

The episode, which serves as the follow-up to the emotional February 21 “Memphis” installment, is called “What Now?”

“The entire Pearson family gathers at Randall’s for an unusual party,” says NBC of the upcoming broadcast. “Kevin and Sophie’s relationship deepens on the night of his play’s premiere. Kate struggles to open up to Toby about her father’s death. Tensions are high between Jack and Rebecca as she leaves on tour with her band.”

Ahead of the March 7 broadcast, NBC shared production photos. Those follow:
