The highly-anticipated second season of the smash hit drama THIS IS US premieres on Wednesday, 14 February, at 8.30pm on TEN and WIN Network.
This Is Us chronicles the Pearson family across the decades; from Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Mandy Moore) as young parents in the 1980s to their now 37-year-old children Kevin (Justin Hartley), Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Randall (Sterling K. Brown) searching for love and fulfilment in the present day.
This grounded, life-affirming drama reveals how the tiniest events in our lives impact who we become, and how the connections we share with each other can transcend time, distance and even death.
Season two picks up on the Big Three’s 37th birthdays, Randall wants to adopt a baby, but Beth convinces him they can honour William’s legacy by adopting an older child. Kate auditions as a band’s lead singer after initially leaving because all the other women auditioning were thin. She is rejected because of her inexperience, not her weight. In the past, Rebecca takes the Big Three to a movie after an argument with Jack. When Jack admits his drinking is out of control, will he return home to his family?
After generating blockbuster television ratings in the US, This Is Us has recently received critical commendation at the Screen Actors Guild Awards with two wins – Outstanding Performance By An Ensemble In A Drama Series and Sterling K. Brown for Outstanding Performance By A Male Actor In A Drama Series. In addition Sterling K. Brown took home the Golden Globe earlier this month for Best Performance By An Actor In A Television Series Drama.
