It’s a critical darling. It’s a ratings smash. And it will air for at least two new seasons.
NBC confirmed that its hit new series “This Is Us” has been renewed for second and third seasons.
“We all got our wish that this is a hit show,” said Jennifer Salke, President, NBC Entertainment. “‘This Is Us’ is as good as anything we’ve ever had, we’re thrilled to renew it for two seasons and there’s no doubt it will have a long life on NBC. On behalf of everyone at NBC, we’re grateful for the artistry of the cast, crew, and producers assembled by our gifted creator, Dan Fogelman. In a world where there are literally hundreds of television dramas, we’re proud to have one of the very best that is also one of the highest-rated.”
Each of the new seasons will include at least eighteen episodes.
“This Is Us” has been a strong live+same-day performer since its launch early this fall. It also receives enormous lifts from DVR and multi-platform viewing.
“This Is Us” is thus far twelve episodes into its first season.
