“If you think you know what’s coming next, you don’t know us.”
That’s what the first full-length trailer for season four of This Is Us promises fans.
The trailer for the forthcoming that was dropped by NBC Saturday, announced the slew of new names joining the cast of the acclaimed family drama. The show’s growing ensemble includes Asante Blackk, Marsha Stephanie Blake, Omar Epps, Bahara Golestani, Jennifer Morrison, Timothy Omundson, M. Night Shyamalan, Julian Silva, Auden Thornton, and Nick Wechsler. And while all of these are familiar names, in the Pearson’s story, they are complete strangers.
“It’s so strange, isn’t it?” Rebecca (Mandy Moore) says to Jack (Milo Ventimiglia). “How just like that, a complete stranger can become such a… big part of your story. It’s actually kind of terrifying, you know?”
Creator Dan Fogleman teased in the past that the forthcoming season includes “Restarts for everybody and midpoints. I think it’s going to be very ambitious and sprawling in terms of how it plays with time. Many of our characters are in the middle of their stories, and that’s a point where characters are opening up to new things and new things are starting. That becomes a very exciting period for almost all of the characters, and for some of them, maybe a very scary period in terms of how fraught their storylines are.”
