Just when you thought your tear ducts were safe, three of This Is Us‘ stars are teaming up for a rewatch podcast about the heartwarming/heartbreaking NBC drama. Here’s everything you need to know about the new project.
Sterling K. Brown, Mandy Moore and Chris Sullivan will host That Was Us, a podcast that will begin streaming on Tuesday, May 14. Episodes will be available on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Video recordings of each episode can be viewed on the show’s Youtube channel.
“We are SO excited to finally announce that we (big) three are taking back Tuesdays and bringing #ThisIsUs back by way of a rewatch podcast called #ThatWasUs, starting May 14th!” the actors announced in a post on the podcast’s Instagram earlier in April.
Though the Pearsons’ story wrapped in 2022, “our stories continue on,” the caption adds. “For six seasons and 106 episodes, Tuesdays brought us together with tissues in one hand and pantry wine in the other. Why? Because we see ourselves in the fabric of their lives. We may or may not have cried at least once every episode, but let’s just say our tears served as emotional catharsis…
“Sibling rivalry, body issues, marriage, divorce, adoption, love, blending families, terminal illness, death, miscarriage, racism, and substance abuse are right here in our backyard, just as they were for the Pearsons. So what we’d like to do is really dig in and dig deep. We’ll break down each episode, bring on some very special guests, have the tough conversations and maybe do some collective healing along the way??”
This Is Us, created by Dan Fogelman, aired from 2016 to 2022 on NBC. During its six seasons, it took home 39 Emmy nominations and four wins, one of which (Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series) went to Brown for his portrayal of Randall Pearson. (Don’t get us started on how little love the Emmys showed Moore during her wide-ranging, masterclass run as Randall, Kate and Kevin’s mother, Rebecca.)
Sullivan, meanwhile, often provided the show’s comic relief in the role of Toby, Kate’s joke-cracking husband. The cast also included Milo Ventimiglia as Rebecca’s husband, Jack; Susan Kelechi Watson as Randall’s wife, Beth; Chrissy Metz as Kate; Justin Hartley as Kate and Randall’s brother, Kevin; Jon Huertas as Rebecca’s second husband, Miguel; and Ron Cephas Jones as Randall’s biological father, William.
The series’ finale, which aired in May 2022, nabbed 6 million viewers and a 1.2 demo rating. TVLine readers at the time gave it an average grade of B. (Read a full recap.)
Will you join the Pearsons on their rewatch journey? Hit the comments and let us know!
I feel like the concept of retrospective pods is getting abused now. Shows like Felicity and One Tree Hill are deserving since it’s been decades for those properties but this one is surely happening too soon. That said no one’s forcing me to listen so I hope anyone who wants it enjoys the content.
I agree. This is silly.
I hosted a Felicity rewatch podcast for fans and it was a lot of fun! 🤩
I listen to the One Tree Hill Podcast. Pretty interesting all these years later.
Looks like I will need to having a listen. I’m already listening to Scott Patterson’s podcast as he does a rewatch of Gilmore Girls.
How do we rewatch and listen? What platform will this be on? What time? Info please?!
Likely it will be on all podcast platforms. You rewatch the tv episode and then listen to the podcast as they comment about the episode after. I’ve done it for years on my podcast network but we’re not famous

Some times these articles aren’t new, they’re updated versions of past articles. Check comment dates before responding so snarkily. That information was likely not there two weeks ago.
It says Friday, May 14th but it’s gonna be on Tuesdays (which May 14th is a Tuesday)
Also – I’m so down for this but I agree if it feels too soon. I listen to OTH, Smallville and Glee and even Glee feels to soon and that ended 9 years ago.
Still gonna listen cause it’s such a great show.
I’m always up for a rewatch podcast.
I will definitely be tuning in for it. I just did a rewatch of the entire series a couple of weeks ago. ❤️
