The popular drama is picked up through Season 3.
January 18, 2017
NBC announced today that its fall breakout This Is Us has received an early order for two additional seasons. The double renewal, which sees it through to at least Season 3, comes on the heels of last week's strong performance that saw the critically-acclaimed drama reach series-high ratings.
This Is Us came at the perfect time for the peacock network, which was searching for its next bona fide hit. Premiering last September, it didn't take long for the show to make its mark. Its first episode was not only the highest-rated premiere of the 2016-2017 season, but actually now ranks as NBC's most-viewed series premiere ever when factoring in its various delivery platforms.
Showing confidence that This Is Us can be a flagship series for years to come, NBC opted to double up on the show's first renewal. A minimum of 18 episodes have been ordered for each for the upcoming seasons, which matches the current season's total.

.. well.. I guess if the goal is to find a show that "make me cry each week" then.. well.. maybe I'll give it another shot. I watched 2-1/2 episodes than just couldn't see the point any longer. Guess I'm not the demographic here :) Congrats to those that like it.. and thanks NBC for leaving me some DVR space on Tuesdays :)

Sat through 3 episodes to see if it gets better. It didn't. Interesting premise but didn't grab me. Meh

Best new show of the season! Great characters. I do miss Justin Hartley on "Young & Restless". I wish he could do both series.

This show is the 'thirtysomething' for 2017, that show was a big yawn and so is this one. I guess the viewing public likes to see whining and dirty baby diapers or else there wouldn't so many shows with that theme.
