With the premiere of season three of This Is Us only a few months away, we’ve been obsessing over what will happen next with the Pearson clan. While many don’t know when the Pearson family’s story will come to an end, it appears that some people do know how the story will end. And, according to Hello Giggles, it turns out that one of those people is Pearson family matriarch, Mandy Moore.
When asked if the leading actress knows how This Is Us will end on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Tuesday, the actress nodded. “I do, yes.”
Moore even confirmed the cast had filmed some scenes for the eventual series finale, Today reports.
“There’s no predetermined end date, but … I think [creator Dan Fogelman] has an idea in his mind of when he sort of sees the story ending and he knows how it ends, which makes me feel good as an actor and as a viewer,” Moore said. “He knows where the story is heading.”
“He knows where the story is heading,” she continued. “I think just the nature of our show and the trajectory is that, you know, people are certain ages now, and perhaps they’re just gonna keep getting older. So you’re capturing content in the can now.”
She added that she’s not certain if all the cast members were aware that they were shooting scenes for the series finale, so even if they were featured in some of the scenes to come, they might not know exactly what is to come.
When asked if the series’ ending would be satisfying for viewers that have become so emotionally invested in the Pearson family’s story, Moore said, “I think the ending will be very satisfying for people.”
“I think it’s very true to what the show evokes from all of us,” Moore said. “People will feel their feelings.”
I guess it’s time to start stocking up on tissues. This Is Us season 3 premieres on NBC September 25th.
