This Is Us season 6: Have there been talks about possible spin-off?

Given that This Is Us season 6 is the final one over at NBC, it makes sense that we start thinking about spin-offs. Could there be one? Given the series’ ratings and critical acclaim, we understand why people involved behind the scenes would consider it.

As a matter of fact, creator Dan Fogelman tells Variety in a new interview that folks over 20th Television, who produce This Is Us, have indeed talked to him about a potential offshoot or something to keep this world going. Of course, that doesn’t mean that he is altogether keen on the idea.

After you do that, be sure to SUBSCRIBE to Matt & Jess on YouTube — we discuss the show every week and don’t want you to miss any updates.

In the end, there’s a pretty understandable reason why Fogelman isn’t that interested in the idea of a spin-off right now: He doesn’t feel like it’s needed. After all, the goal of the final season was to make sure these stories were tied up:

Once you’ve seen the completion of Season 6, the stories of these characters are told … So there is no real spinoff because [viewers will] kind of know everything. Is there another play for the show? I guess you’d never say never, but I don’t see it.

We’ll see what happens over the next few months; we’re sure that the studio will continue to inquire about it, but we can’t see Fogelman biting unless he has a really strong idea that won’t dilute the story being told here. That won’t be an easy thing to accomplish.
