This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman Weekly entertainment that the finale had been in the works for several years.
He was so confident of how the show would end that certain scenes involving the child actors had been filmed four years earlier to capture them at a younger age.
“It’s a testament to how trusting everyone has been in this process,” he said, adding, “[The studio] “We’ve always had complete confidence that we’re doing our thing.”
And in conversation with diversityhe discussed the decision to have Rebecca die in the penultimate episode rather than the series finale.
“For me, the show was about a lot of things and a lot of people can bond with different elements of the show.” They have favorite characters, they have favorite themes that we explore, the dynamics that we explore.
“When I zoom out, I always thought that the show was a lot about the loss of a parent and ultimately the loss of the parents.” And so it’s not just about the moment of loss, it’s also about what comes after .”

Message: Last year, as the show wrapped, Mandy shared a photo from Rebecca’s memorial service in a tribute tweet, along with her character’s quote, “Take the risk.” Take the big steps, even if it is are small steps.
“So much attention has been given to ‘How Does Jack Die?’ early. How Jack dies and the big episode where he actually dies.
“But a big part of our series is what happens after that,” he explained. “And I always wanted, and have always planned, for the final episode of the show to be about the epilogue of the ongoing family story, not the moment.”
“It felt important to me to do a show about how the human condition and the human spirit endure and evolve, and not just a moment where everyone is crying hysterically because someone ends up dying,” he concluded .
This Is Us aired for six seasons between 2016 and 2022.
