Fans of “This Is Us” can finally stop worrying about the future of the show and the possibility of its revival, as it’s been officially confirmed that it’s coming back for two whole new seasons. This should hardly come as a surprise to anyone in the end though, considering the strong ratings the show has enjoyed throughout its run, but it’s still nice to see an official confirmation.
What’s more, the showrunners sounded enthusiastic about the possibility of seeing “This Is Us” on the screen for even longer beyond the next two seasons, and it looks like this is going to be one of the more prominent shows on the screen in the next years.
Of course, just because it’s getting continued doesn’t automatically mean that the next two seasons are going to see the same kind of reception that the previous episodes have been enjoying, but that’s entirely up to the producers and their desire to put some serious effort into their work.
Some reports have pointed out that seeing the show renewed for two seasons instead of one is actually a very big sign and it indicates that the producers have some strong hopes for its future. It’s not that common for shows on such networks to get a long-term continuation like that, and it’s a sign that someone among the network executives sees a lot of potential in the production.
Let’s hope that they’re not wrong, but judging by everything that’s happened to “This Is Us” ever since it arrived to the screen, it does look like they’re on the right track. The show has received multiple awards and nominations, and it’s not rare to hear someone who’s just discovered it praising it and urging others to check it out as well.
Various people involved in the production have also benefited significantly from their work on it, and we’ve seen strong recognition for some of the actors in particular. Let’s just hope that they will all stick around for the next two seasons, as the current cast line-up is of course a very important part of what makes the show work.
So far we don’t have a reason to expect any major departures though, and in fact, we wouldn’t be surprised if the producers decided to expand their current cast and introduced some extra characters for the next season.
There are various possible openings for something like that, and the show’s current structure actually works quite well in terms of allowing for further expansions. We fully expect the people behind “This Is Us” to take a serious, in-depth look at the current structure of the production, and make some changes to make it even more attractive for its next seasons.
This is of course something risky that could easily backfire if they’re not careful, but we don’t expect the producers of “This Is Us” to handle the new developments in their show poorly in any way. As long as they stay in touch with their audience and know what their fans want to see, they should be fine.
And that’s exactly one of the strong points that the showrunners behind “This Is Us” have demonstrated so far. They appear to be very well in touch with their fans and know what people want to see, which is why we expect the next two seasons to see even more success and good ratings. In fact, the producers should probably go against the grain and take some risks in favor of their fans, even if it could annoy some critics.
