When Does ‘This Is Us’ Season 3 Premiere?

That’s a wrap on Season 2 of This Is Us. We laughed. We cried… and then we cried some more because… duh. The hit NBC series ended their sophomore year with an enticing look into the future. We now know what Season 3 has in store for Kate (Chrissy Metz), Randall (Sterling K. Brown), and Kevin (Justin Hartley), but we’re still clueless as to when we can expect the next season to premiere on NBC.

What does creator Dan Fogelman have in store for the Pearson family? When will Season 3 of This Is Us premiere on NBC? Here’s everything we know about the future of NBC’s most addicting drama.

IS THIS IS US RETURNING TO NBC FOR SEASON 3?

You better believe it! After Season 1, NBC rewarded the hit drama with a two-season renewal.

WILL SEASON 3 OF THIS IS US ALSO HAVE 18 EPISODES?

Yep. Just like the first two seasons, This Is Us Season 3 will consist of 18 episodes.

WHEN IS THE THIS IS US SEASON 3 PREMIERE DATE?

NBC has yet to announce an official Season 3 premiere date, but that doesn’t mean we can’t narrow it down a bit. The series premiered on September 20, 2016, while Season 2 debuted on September 26, 2017. We should expect to see Season 3 in early autumn of 2018. If the series stays on Tuesday nights, we should expect Season 3 to premiere on September 18, September 25, or October 2.

ARE THE FIRST TWO SEASONS OF THIS IS US AVAILABLE TO STREAM ON NETFLIX?

No, but they are available to watch on Hulu!

DO YOU HAVE ANY THIS IS US SEASON 3 SPOILERS?

The Season 2 finale provided a glimpse of what we can expect in Season 3: Toby has apparently fallen into a depression, while Kevin and his new girlfriend Zoe are on their way to Vietnam. But what about Jack? Fans have been wondering if Milo Ventimiglia is still going to be on This Is Us.

In a word, yes.

In the above interview, Kevin himself notes that Season 3 contains “the biggest Jack story of the series.”

See you in the fall, This Is Us fans!
