Since creator Dan Fogelman revealed that twist in the shocking series premiere, This Is Us has bounced back and forth, spanning nearly 100 years in non-linear form over five seasons.
What set This Is Us apart when it premiered in 2016 was its time-jumping element.
This Is Us returns at 9 p.m. ET Tuesday, February 22, on NBC.
This Is Us is the epic saga of the Pearson family, following Jack and Rebecca Pearson, as well as their three children — Kevin, Kate and Randall — on their life journeys.
