Sterling K. Brown, who plays Randall Pearson on This Is Us, has revealed that the fall finale of the series might "upset" fans as the NBC show prepares to take a several-month hiatus until early 2020.
In an interview with St. Louis' NBC 5 on Your Side, Brown sat down with his nephew, reporter Anthony Slaughter, where he revealed that fans are going to be none too happy when they see what the writers have planned for the show's fall season-ender.
"Listen there's some big things that are happening going into the back half of this season. There's some tension that develops within the family. So, there's Rebecca, there's Kevin, Kate, Randall something happens in the present day that causes people to sort of fall away from one another a little bit. That's really all I can say," Brown said of the midyear finale.
Brown also revealed that when he completed reading the script for tonight's 2019 sendoff episode, his mind turned to longtime viewers of the show, stating, "They're gonna be upset."
The actor then teased that the timetable for the absence of This Is Us from NBC's scheduled programming should be around six to seven weeks in duration before the show's scheduled return from its hiatus early in the new year.
