NBC has revealed that the emotionally devastating series This Is Us will air its season six finale in just three months.

During a press event, the network confirmed that the finale will be released on May 24, 2022, which will mean no more hiatus weeks for the remaining episodes of the season.

This is not only the season six finale, but it will be the final episode ever aired for the show, with the final season bringing fans back to its roots but also pointing towards the future for the Pearson family after the show ends.

At the press event, titled NBC's Scripted Press Day, executive producer Dan Fogelman discussed the final season with the show's stars Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown, Justin Hartley, Susan Kelechi Watson and Jon Huertas.

Ventimiglia told reporters: "It's gonna deliver. It's truly, truly going to deliver."

Both the actors and the producers are happy that the show will come to an end after season six, which was the plan from the beginning.

Fogelman previously said: "We know where it ends and we know the path for each season. We've always had a plan, we didn't want to get stuck."

"The show won't overstay its welcome, we have a story to tell, we want to do this the right way."

The same rings true for the final episode, with Fogelman also telling Entertainment Weekly recently that the series finale will help fans to cope with the "final chapter" of the show.

He also said he thinks it will "feel really simple" and will be the "right ending" for This Is Us.

The show is now six episodes in, and has already faced emotional deaths and tragedy for the family, likely prompting tears from viewers – just as it has for the last six years.

The next episode of This Is Us will air February 22 after taking a hiatus for the Winter Olympics, and it will continue to be what Fogelman calls "the most ambitious" season yet.

This Is Us airs its final season on Tuesdays at 9/8c on NBC, and can also be streamed on Hulu. Viewers in the UK can watch every Thursday via Amazon Prime Video or Disney+.
