This Is Us
This is real. This is love. This is life.
Created by Dan Fogelman
On NBC
A deeply intimate, emotionally generous family drama that uses flashback and interconnection to explore grief, love, and the weight of shared human experience across generations.
Follows the lives and families of three adults living and growing up in the United States of America in present and past times. As their paths cross and their life stories intertwine in curious ways, we find that several of them share the same birthday - and so much more than anyone would expect.
