Before the sixth and final installment, the cast reflected on the show’s last season premiere onToday. Moore admitted she “absolutely” didn’t expectThis Is Usto become the massive hit it is today.
“I think we all knew what a special show, like that first episode, was. But to be a part of something that has this sort of, like, immediate affection of the audience — like, the audience has been with us since episode one and it’s just incredible,” she said on Tuesday. “I can’t believe like six seasons in, here we are. We’re such a family. It’s so nice to be able to celebrate all these incredible milestones together.”
Brown, who plays Randall Pearson, said being onThis Is Us"is different" from any other show he’s worked on.

“It affects people in a really profound way,” Brown, 45, said. “It’s nice for us [in the cast] because we’re in a bubble shooting it and then we go out into the world and we see how it affects people. It’s like, ‘Ah, we’re doing something that means something to other people.'”
During an appearance on SiriusXM’sThe Hoda ShowTuesday, Hartley, 44, called it a “privilege” to be able to work on a project of this caliber.
“I will keep in contact with every single person, whether they like it or not,” he continued. “But I will miss the capacity in which we are a family right now and working together and all that, for sure.”
Brown said that it’s “more like a ta-ta for now,” adding that “it’s not gone forever because these people are such a [big] part of my life.”
