This Is Us‘ upcoming series finale will sound the death knell for any potential Pearson spinoffs, according to series creator Dan Fogelman.
Last TV season, This Is Us was TV’s highest-rated entertainment program, and among NBC’s scripted series trailed only the #OneChicago trifecta in total viewership.
But Fogelman cites a major stumbling block standing in the way of any possible spinoff: the show’s sixth and final season.
“Once you’ve seen the completion of Season 6, the stories of these characters are told,” he tells the trade.
