Over the past several months, “This Is Us” has not simply established itself as the hottest new series on television.
It has emerged as one of television’s biggest dramas, period.
The incredibly successful, creatively outstanding first season comes to an end on Tuesday, March 14.
“Jack heads to Cleveland to make things right with Rebecca on the night of her first big gig with the band. Randall, Kate and Kevin make big decisions about their futures,” says NBC of the season finale, which is caleld “Moonshadow.”
“Moonshadow” will certainly not mark the end of “This Is Us” — the show has already been renewed for second and third seasons. It will, however, be the show’s last original until the fall.
Ahead of the March 14 broadcast, NBC shared first look photos:
