Randall Pearson (Sterling K Brown) and Kevin Pearson's (Justin Hartley) long-standing beef finally came to an end in Episode 13 ‘Brotherly Love’ and it gave a glimpse of Randall's dreams of the perfect life with his real parents he could never live. What will happen when the season progresses? Fans can't help but wonder what will happen next. In a sad turnout of events, there are no more episodes scheduled for the month. ‘This Is Us’ will now return in May 2021!

Teasing some heartwarming snippets from the show, the official handle posted a quote from Miguel (Jon Huertas) and a picture of the Pearson family. Fans were not impressed though. One said, “Brace yourself for angry tweets when people turn on a rerun tonight! You guys should post every Tuesday about whether or not it’ll be on,” and another wrote, “Nope y’all on hiatus don’t post these PICTURES I miss you too much.”
‘This Is Us’ won't return for three weeks now and no one's in a celebratory mood! Sigh. This week, NBC might air a re-run of one of the old episodes.
