First Look: 'This Is Us' season 3 takes us back in time to Jack and Rebecca's first date

Set to premiere on September 25, the new season will continue with the trend started by the last three episodes of season 2 of telling the story via touching flashback episodes.

Keep that box of tissues handy as 'This Is Us' returns in less than a month. Into its third season now, the NBC dramedy has managed to earn a reputation for being outright emotional and heartbreaking at the same time - and rightfully so. Whether it's about Jack's mysterious past and his tragic untimely death or Rebecca's struggles along with the varied and contrasting life issues of the "Big Three" - there's always something cooking in this Pearson family drama.

And it would be no different this fall either when the show returns with season 3 on NBC. Set to premiere on September 25, the new episodes will continue with the trend (started by the last three episodes of season 2), telling the story via touching flashback scenes and episodes. So far, however, the focus has been on the modern-day life of the Pearsons, especially of Kevin, Kate, and Randall's.
