If you have been missing the hit drama on NBC, then there's the good news for you from three former This Is Us actors. Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown, and Chris Sullivan have launched a This Is Us rewatch podcast, titled This Was Us. 

They shared this on Instagram saying that the story continues. The show was wrapped in 2022. “The Pearson’s story may have ended after six seasons, but our stories continue on. For six seasons and 106 episodes, Tuesdays brought us together with tissues in one hand and pantry wine in the other. Why? Because we see ourselves in the fabric of their lives. We may or may not have cried at least once every episode, but let’s just say our tears served as emotional catharsis…”

“So what we’d like to do is really dig in and dig deep. We’ll break down each episode, bring on some very special guests, have the tough conversations and maybe do some collective healing along the way??” it added.
