While Fogelman confirmed he doesn’t plan on taking This Is Us past its current future arc, he did say there’s definitely a good chance of more past storylines such as Season 3’s planned story of Rebecca and Jack’s first dates, as well as future storylines that precede the 15-year jump.

Essentially, he doesn’t see the story going any further than that point and time, which could indicate the flash-forward is part of the series’ finale.
Dan Fogelman shed some light on Sterling K. Brown’s comments by stating he thinks the show is capping flash-forwards at the point viewers have seen in the future.
