As the audience filed into Hollywoods Dolby Theatre for the This Is Us panel at PaleyFest, boxes of tissues were handed to anticipate all the tears that would be shed after watching an episode of the Emmy-winning NBC family drama. Actually, boxes of tissues werent handed out, but PaleyFest screened the most recent episode of the show which definitely stirred many emotions and gutted us — which is why This Is Us has become a source of must-see TV in a when all of us just want to be hugged. Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Sterling K.

When the cast was asked their reaction when they read the script for the finale, Metz admitted that one scene made her cry while Hartley simply said “They did it to me again!” which doesnt really tell us much, but we know that its gonna be filled with all sorts of feelings.
