This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman teases the first episode of the upcoming final season with a hint at the episode title, marking that’s “one down.”
This Is Uscreator Dan Fogelman teased the first episode title of the final season. The drama television series originally premiered on NBC back in 2016. The story follows a couple parents and their three children. The narrative is also set across different time frames. This Is Us has an ensemble cast that incudes Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz, Justin Hartley, among numerous others.
The fifth season premiered in 2020 as part of the series order for seasons 4-6 back in 2019. It was announced back in May 2021 that the sixth season would be the end of the series. It’s set to have a total of 18 episodes in the final season. The fifth season explored the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, showing how the family deals with the pressures of the real-life situation. Perhaps the biggest moment of the season finale sees Kate (Chrissy Metz) getting married to Phillip (Chris Geere) in the future, so it’s looking like things won’t work between her and Toby (Chris Sullivan).
Fogelman tweeted out a tease for the first episode of This Is Us season 6. He replaced the episode title with special characters, writing “one down.” However, he followed up the tweet with another one noting that there has been some confusion regarding the episode title, emphasizing that the symbols aren’t the episode title itself. He simply didn’t want to spoil it. However, he did tease that it’s the correct number of letters, giving fans the chance to guess the episode title. See below for Fogelman’s tweet:
Studio informed me that there’s confusion and asked if I wanted to clarify that this is not the title of our first episode.
Nope. I just didn’t want to spoil anything and I’m old and bad at internet.
It’s the right amount of letters though, so do your thing. #ThisIsUs https://t.co/BKPgJ0rhOF

Over the course of the show’s run, This Is Us has received a very positive reception. Review aggregation websites display consistently high scores. This Is Us has been included among the nominees for Golden Globe Awards and Critics’ Choice Awards. The show has also been awarded four Primetime Emmy Awards. This Is Us has been widely talked about among those who enjoy these type of network dramas. The show has made a commitment to expanding upon its diversity, making it stand out from the pack.
With season 6 marking the end of This Is Us, this will be bittersweet for fans who have enjoyed the series. However, it’s exciting to get a bit of a hint as to what the first episode will be titled. Despite the fact that there are a total of ten symbols that are each meant to represent a letter, a lot of the guesses on Twitter only account for nine letter words. Given how the fifth season ended with the future wedding, the title “The Engagement” could make a lot of sense. Even if Fogelman initially confused some fans with the meaning of this image, it’s a great way to get viewers excited for the upcoming season and guessing what it could potentially be. Stay tuned for more information on the next and final season of This Is Us.
