It turns out that This Is Us has already begun preparing for the end.
While the television drama was recently given the green light for at least one more season, it recently emerged that they have also begun filming the last scenes of the series.
According to Entertainment Weekly, This Is Us’ creator Dan Fogelman was recently quizzed about how far ahead in the show the writers were preparing for.
At a For Your Emmy consideration panel, he explained:
“We’re pretty far along. Our writers and I are kind of to the end. We have a path for each season of the show.
“We’ve always had a plan… I don’t think this show will ever — despite any success it may or may not have — will ever overstay its welcome, and we have a story to tell.
“And we want to do this the right way. And so we have a plan.
“I’ve actually already shot pieces of the final scene in the series.”
He also revealed that there will be more of a focus on Toby and Beth, who will both be getting “showcase” episodes.
Fogelman warned:
“You’re going to be surprised what Toby and Beth were like before they entered this family.”
