NBC’s This is Us Season 5 Cast
This Is Us has an amazing award-winning and a favorite fan cast. The main actors, such as Mandy Moore, will return as Rebecca Pearson with Milo Ventimiglia, continue as Jack Pearson in flashback events. The “Big Three” characters – Randall Pearson, Kate Pearson, and Kevin Pearson, played by Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz, and Justin Hartley respectively, will also definitely return. Recurring characters like Jack Damon (Blake Stadnik) and Madison (Caitlin Thompson) are also supposed to return for a fifth season. The finale of season 4 revealed new characters such as Eli (Josh Hamilton), Hailey (Adelaide Kane), and Sadie (Glory Rose). These new faces might reprise their roles in Season 5.
NBC’s This Is Us Season 5 Expected Story
Hopefully, season 5 of This Is Us will continue to focus on the family’s matriarch, Rebecca Pearson. Since her mental faculties have been on the decline, more flashbacks could have a peek into her life, her family history while also continuing her current life. The present story might also explore how she met and fell in love with Miguel (Jon Huertas). Show creator Dan Fogelman says more focus will be put on Madison’s doctor Eli Mason, played by his favourite actor Josh Hamilton. Fogelman says more focus will be on “birth and rebirth,” meaning emphasis on new and fresh beginnings while respecting the bygones. Sterling Brown, who plays Randall, is warning the audience to brace for a surprise in the Season 5 premiere. Jack will take a backseat in the story, while more will be explored on the sibling-rivalry between Kevin and Randall.
