This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman has recently confirmed a major storyline for season five. However, viewers already know that the This Is Us series will pick up from season 4 with a plot that could 'represent' recent protests from Black Lives Matter, and will now find its way into the time jumping show more than 2020. Taking to his Twitter handle on Sunday, Fogelman went on to confirm the upcoming episodes that will also address the global coronavirus pandemic 'head-on'.
In response to a tweet that asked, ‘When will @NBCThisisUs return to production? When will new episodes be on our TV? Will the writers discuss COVID in the present day?" and "Is the expected show ending up the same in the light of events?’ Dan went on to give ‘some vague ‘This Is Us’ answers". Dan further tweeted saying,” Not sure yet on production start and also not sure when new eps will air.” He also revealed, “Yes on COVID. We've decided to attack things head-on. Very proud of @ThisIsUsWriters” Dan also confirmed that the ending will be the same, "Same planned ending. Same route to get there". Take a look at the tweet below.

The only answer I really would like is how long we have to wait for more Gregory ❤ but as you've already said you can't predict production schedules yet, and wouldn't give away story secrets anyway, I'll just keep my fingers crossed and work on my patience. 😊
