The fall finale of NBC’s “This Is Us” aired on November 17, 2020. The fifth season will resume its run on January 5, 2021.<\/p>\n

Entitled “A Long Road Home,” the episode will follow-up on some of the key threads from the aforementioned fall finale. Notably, it will explore Kate’s secret, which seemingly includes a past pregnancy and another encounter with Marc.<\/p>\n

As his viral strip show caught the eye of the Vietnamese man who knew his mother, Randall is sure to receive new information about his past.<\/p>\n

According to the official logline, “Kevin debates the best path for his future” in another “A Long Road Home” story thread.<\/p>\n

Presumably due to social distancing guidelines, NBC has not been issuing traditional production photos for its upcoming episodes. It did, however, share a handful of screenshots from the January 5 installment:<\/p>\n
