‘This Is Us’ Series Finale First Look: The Pearsons Celebrate Rebecca’s Life (PHOTOS)
This Is Us is signing off with one last nod to themselves and viewers in the show’s series finale installment titled, “Us.”
Ahead of what’s sure to be an emotional installment, NBC has unveiled several first-look photos featuring the Big 3 — Kevin (Justin Hartley), Kate (Chrissy Metz), and Randall (Sterling K Brown) — and the rest of the Pearson clan come together to honor matriarch Rebecca (Mandy Moore). Collectively, they’re celebrating her life at her funeral service which finds the family reunited at the Pearson cabin and compound.
Per the finale’s logline, the Big 3 are coming to new understandings about life in this episode. What these understandings are will remain to be seen, but certainly, there’s a lot to look forward to particularly for Randall who learned from Deja in the penultimate episode that he’s going to be a grandfather.
Either way, it’s a given that viewers will require at least a tissue or two dozen to make it through this final entry in the NBC family drama from Dan Fogelman. And just as the Pearsons must say goodbye to Rebecca, fans must also say goodbye to this family who has captured their attention and hearts.
Until then, get a first look at the finale with the photos, below, by scrolling through and let us know how you feel about the show’s impending end in the comments section.
This Is Us, Series Finale, Tuesday, May 24, 9/8c, NBC
An older and wiser Big 3 — Kevin (Justin Hartley), Kate (Chrissy Metz), and Randall (Sterling K. Brown) — reunite at the old Pearson family cabin.
Tagging along with Randall are his grown-up daughters Deja (La Trice Harper), Annie (Iyana Halley), and Tess (Iantha Richardson).
Deja and Randall share a tender moment on the steps. Could they be talking about the future of the Pearson family following her pregnancy revelation?
Uncle Nicky (Griffin Dunne) lays a supportive hand on Kevin’s shoulder.
Meanwhile, Kate’s ex-husband and co-parent Toby (Chris Sullivan) is there to support the family that took him under their wing.
Things take a serious turn during the funeral ceremony for Rebecca (Mandy Moore) as Kate speaks in honor of her mother’s memory.
Randall also takes to the podium, no doubt utilizing his public speaking skills.
Couples who lean on each other stay together as Randall and Beth (Susan Kelechi Watson), and Kevin and Sophie (Alexandra Breckenridge) stay close in the pews.
Beth and Randall share a moment in the Pearson family compound’s kitchen. Could one of them be delivering a signature pep talk?
Kevin exchanges some meaningful words with his growing son, Nicky (Brecken Merrill).
In a flashback sequence between Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca, the couple finds a game that will last the test of time.
Proving the point, the Pearson clan plays with the Pin the Tail on the Donkey game Rebecca picked up decades before.

This has been an AMAZING show that I have watched from the day it began. I am SO not ready to say goodbye to the beautiful Pearson family. Kudos to the writers, the actors, and all involved in this wonderful show. I just hope they rake it a boatload of Emmys for this last time...they deserve it for this incredible season! Thank you everyone for a great 6 years!

I just got on the This is Us bandwagon this past summer. I binged all the seasons until I was caught up to the new season. It was an amazing journey!! Now that it is coming to an end I am truly sad, I will miss this family just as I would one of my own family friends. I hope and pray that some sort of spin off comes out of it. And that at the Emmies they all win big!!

I to have watch this show from day one, I remember looking forward to it starting, based on the compelling promos for it. It has met and greatly surpassed any at all expectations. A finely written and heartwarming, heartbreaking and genuine show about love and family and life.
I would happily watch another six seasons of it, and I’m sure the writers and actors would keep the quality and stories just as good.
I will miss it so much, and doubt there will ever be another one like it. But I hold out hope

I love this show and will miss it so much. It’s been a great ride and so sad it’s over. I think the writers did a great job explaining so much that we had questions about. They are leaving us with no questions thanks for the ride! 😢

Got into the show a little over a year ago and loved it. The characters are complicated and believable and the writing has mostly been stellar. One little detail, however, that I'm surprised no one ever identified or addressed that I recall is how the big three were supposed to be Kevin, Kate and Kyle until William suggested Randall instead, and I thought, "Yes! Of course! He sees it: KKK!! Very bad for the black sibling." But the writing never seemed to pick up on that. (Or did I miss or forget something?)

Twins and triplets are often given names that start with the same letter, and given how compassionate and open minded this entire family is I’m sure nobody ever even connected or thought about the KKK, I think maybe you have too much time on your hands. LOL. Either that or # 45 has influence our country even more than we ever thought possible. What a beautiful show, full of love and family, I’m sure this is why nobody ever even thought about the KKK in relation.

Kyle died at birth if you actually watched the show. They ended up adopting Randall, so that’s why they didn’t give him Kyle’s name. It never had anything to do with the “kkk”.

As much as I loved the series, for me, it has run its course. I have found the characters less endearing with time & hope there will not be a "reunion" planned.
