“I think many viewers will be a hot mess when this show ends as well. As we have watched your character’s lives unfold and followed your journey it has helped us to grow as people. I think it helps us to learn more about ourselves, the value of our family, and even more about enjoying and treasuring the little moments in life because they are so important. Thank you for teaching us and helping us to grow!” wrote one follower.

“I cannot even begin to explain how emotional I am right now!! Thank you, Pearsons, for being this loving, amazing family and for making it our own! This show is FOREVER!!” penned a second fan.

“I delayed watching the premiere because I don’t want this ending to be real,” explained the third fan.

“But we are not ready!” exclaimed a fourth fan.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman teased several key tidbits for viewers heading into the NBC series final season.

The showrunner claimed that although the show spans a lot of time, there will be plenty of opportunities to learn even more about the members of the Pearson family.

“The show spans a lot of time and, especially where we’re going deeper into our final season, you’re going to see the completion of a lot of journeys,” he explained.

“Whether that means life and death or romantically. Because we spend more time than just existing linearly, we’ll hopefully be able to complete all of our stories and journeys, however long that takes in the calendar time in the show. But in terms of who is going to live or die, I can’t say that part,” Fogelman revealed.

This Is Us airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EST on NBC.
