We have questions, and thankfully Sterling K. Brown talked to Entertainment Weekly about the finale that wrapped up the first half of season 4 of This Is Us.

“[Randall] loves his mom like nobody’s business,” Brown told the outlet. “And the idea of him not being at her aid as she enters into one of the more trying periods of her life is anathema. He will make himself available until he uses himself up. And that may be something that we see until he uses him up. That’s what Randall does. He does too much until he can’t do anything else.”

And what about Kevin?

“I think it took him to age 39 to be clear on what it was that he wanted for his life. He has all the trappings of fame and fortune, and he’s still feeling empty. And this time in Pennsylvania with his uncle and with Cassidy gave him a sense of family, a sense of responsibility to other people outside of themselves. And it felt good. So now I think it’s not so much of an impulsion, it’s a recognition of ‘That thing that I wasn’t clear on, I finally have clarity.’ So I lean towards it being a positive.”

But despite all the difficulties looming for the Pearsons, according to Brown, “Even when you fracture — and you may fracture for a period of time — you ultimately, at the end of the day, come back together.”

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Austin Abrams has been cast in the currently airing season of the hit NBC drama. 

The new cast member will recur in a storyline set in the past, more specifically in one of the 1990s storylines. According to the outlet, Abrams will play Marc, who meets teen Kate (Hannah Zeile) in a record store and will play the Pearsons’ daughter’s love interest. 

Abrams’ first episode, Flip a Coin is set to premiere on Tuesday, October 15.

Abrams joins the show’s regulars including Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Justin Hartley, Chrissy Metz, Sterling K. Brown, Susan Kelechi Watson, Chris Sullivan, Michael Angarano, and Ron Cephas Jones, as well as a swarm of newcomers featured in season four.

According to Fogelman, fans should get ready for “a big, sprawling, ambitious start.” Apparently, the season will include its fair share of twists and turns. 

“The goal is to never fall into a pattern where the show just becomes expected,” he said. “We’re coming towards the midpoint of our series, saying, ‘We’re not just sitting back and taking it easy.’”

As for the characters’ development, this season we’ll get to see a lot more of Jack’s (Milo Ventimiglia) recovery from this time in Vietnam. 

“Jack is trying to figure out what he wants to do with his life. He needs to find himself a career. And he needs to do it all while dealing with the trauma of Vietnam and everything that happened with his brother while also trying to woo the love of his life. It’s a complicated period for him.”

Despite having gone through a bad break up, Kevin (Justin Hartley) finds himself faced with another big opportunity. 

“Often Kevin’s story, more than all the other characters, is very existential,” says Fogelman. “He’s a guy who’s searching for meaning and his place in the world and also on the bigger more macro level: is he a good person or not? And it’s ironic because he’s the ex-sitcom actor. It would be very easy to view him as the shallowest character. But [what] he’s chasing and trying to navigate is often the most complex stuff. This season really puts him on a path towards starting to figure that out.”

Season 4 of This Is Us premieres September 24.

And as of now, they are complete strangers. 

“It’s so strange, isn’t it?” Rebecca (Moore) says to Jack (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?” 

“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,” said series creator Dan Fogelman. “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.”

The final moments of Season 3 have been kept secret, that is until Sunday’s grand finale of PaleyFest when series creator Dan Fogelman was in a giving mood.

“I’m excited about the last episode, It’s a good one. I think you’re going to get a lot of answers for all the main characters.” Fogelman added.

“Obviously there’s a tremendous amount of attention on Randall and Beth’s storyline. There will be an answer there in terms of the long-term health of their relationship,” he said. “We have all of our storylines building to that in the last episode. It’s kind of gigantic. The last five minutes of the episode are sprawling.”

He continued: “Our world’s going to expand a little bit in a really interesting way. I think where we’re starting the season is as ambitious as we’ve been, kind of like storytelling way. We have a plan; we’re at the midpoint. We know where we’re going, we know what we’re doing. I’m more excited about the back half of the plan than the front half.”

This Is Us also stars Milo Ventimiglia (Jack), Mandy Moore (Rebecca) and Jon Huertas (Miguel).
