‘This Is Us’ Season 5 Schedule: When the Next Episode 5 Will Return

This Is Us is back for a fifth season on NBC, kicking off with a two-part season premiere that brought on plenty of drama in classic This Is Us style. We’re about a month into the latest season, and already we’ve already become even closer to the Pearson family with every episode.

After we left off with a cliffhanger about Randall’s (Sterling K. Brown) mom last episode, we’re itching to find out what happens next.  Plus, there’s Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Toby’s (Chris Sullivan) hopes for a family of their own with Ellie’s baby, and Kevin’s (Justin Hartley) struggles with his new director. There’s plenty to look forward to in This Is Us Season 5, but when can we watch the next episode?

Here’s everything you need to know about when This Is Us Season 5 will return:
