This Is Us Season 5 is set to come to a thundering conclusion that fans might not expect. Randall (Sterling K. Brown) and Kevin (Justin Hartley) have repaired their brotherhood just in time for Kevin and Madison’s (Caitlin Thompson) wedding.

Beth is still coming to grips with the loss of her dance studio amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Toby’s (Chris Sullivan) marriage appears to be on the verge of exploding as Toby considers a job away from his family in San Francisco.

Now, with just one episode left before the final season of This Is Us, fans must brace themselves for a stunning twist and more revelations about Jack and Rebecca’s wedding.

The ‘This Is Us’ Season 5 finale will air at an unexpected time

As much as fans are anticipating if Kevin and Madison will actually make it down the aisle in the Season 5 finale, they will have to wait just a tad longer than expected. NBC has announced a major time change for the season finale this year.

The season 5 finale of This Is Us will air on Tuesday, May 25 at 10 p.m. ET. It will air an hour later than its usual time slot because of the two-hour season finale of The Voice.

If that doesn’t work for your schedule, there is always the option to DVR the show or watch it on Hulu the next day. However, it would probably be best to avoid spoilers, especially because it appears that the finale will be an emotional rollercoaster for fans.

The ‘This Is Us’ Season 5 finale will have a major twist

From the previous episode where both Kevin and Madison were experiencing cold feet, it doesn’t look like their big day is going to get any easier. “Kevin’s wedding planner may be a little bit rusty from the pandemic,” executive producer Isaac Aptaker told Entertainment Weekly, “because there are quite a few logistical snafus early on in the day.”

However, Kevin and Madison’s big day might not be the biggest surprise of the night by far. “It’s really satisfying and twisty,” Aptaker said of the episode. “We give some big answers and then we ask some brand-new questions, and I think this really strikes the perfect balance between the two.”

Most importantly fans should be very vigilant when it comes to the last five minutes of the episode. “People are definitely going to want to have [eaten] their snacks and have taken all of their bathroom breaks and be rooted in front of the TV for our last five minutes,” Aptaker hinted.
