‘A Million Little Things’ Kicks Off Final Season With Funeral (PHOTOS)
On the one hand, A Million Little Things began with the death of Jon (Ron Livingston, returning for the farewell season). On the other hand, despite the nice parallel, we’re not sure how we feel about the ABC drama saying goodbye to someone else in the final season premiere.
In “The Last Dance,” airing on February 8, the family of friends gathers once again to celebrate the life of a loved one who dies unexpectedly. Meanwhile, Katherine (Grace Park) shows Maggie (Allison Miller) the secret to registering for baby gifts, and Rome (Romany Malco) supports his father through a difficult transition. The photos that ABC has released offer a look at some of that, as you can see below.
Unsurprisingly, but suspiciously, Gary (James Roday Rodriguez) is nowhere to be seen in the images. Last season ended with the cancer reveal that only a few know about so far. But given what executive producer DJ Nash told TV Insider about his arc this season, we’re not too worried (at least not yet).
“Gary is the person who’s looked out for everyone,” Nash said. “I wanted to tell a story about Gary finally needing other people.”
Scroll down for a look at the friend group in the Season 5 premiere, “The Last Dance.” Things may look a bit bleak now, but at least Nash has said “the last scene is unbelievably hopeful,” so let’s just hold onto that.
A Million Little Things, Fifth and Final Season Premiere, Wednesday, February 8, 10/9c, ABC
Maggie’s (Allison Miller) pregnancy is one way to track how much time has passed.
Regina (Christina Moses) looks a bit concerned.
How are Danny (Chance Hurstfield) and Sophie (Lizzy Greene) doing?
This hug has us worried.
Who died?
At least Greta (Cameron Esposito) and Katherine (Grace Park) look happy.
Give us all the Maggie and Katherine bonding scenes!
Sophie’s mom may not be in town at the moment, but she does have her aunt(s and uncles).
What are they watching? Or are they talking to Tyrell at college?

I think it's the very last scene of the series /show that is being played first.

It doesn't take too much thought to figure out who died . . . But not Gary

I honestly thought the same thing because Danny looked the most depressed out of the group. My first thought was it was the last scene being played in the first episode and then they are going to back track to what led to it. Then I thought maybe it’s Danny’s bf and he was in an accident or something because we know everyone would be there for him in his time of need. I think if it was Gary then Deliah would be there as well. So I’m kinda hoping it was just someone who isn’t a main character.

Hopefully, NOT Gary. They all bring so much to the show. I can't imagine who would be taken out. Maybe a parent or sibling of one of them?
