This Is Us Season 5

Season 5 explores the Pearson family’s lives amid milestone changes—Kevin and Madison preparing for (but never reaching) the altar, Rebecca confronting early Alzheimer’s while entering a clinical trial alongside Miguel, Randall confronting unresolved identity issues, and Kate navigating adoption and personal grief. Episodes interweave past and present timelines, culminating in a surprising flash-forward set twelve years later. Family tensions and reconciliations unfold against a backdrop of real-world events—from BLM protests to the COVID-19 pandemic—giving the season a heavier, more topical atmosphere. Emotional, ambitious, and sometimes divisive, Season 5 tests the characters’ evolution and legacy.
