This Is Us Season 4 Trailer: See The Surprise New Cast; Premiere Episode Set To Be An Extended Special

NBC have announced a slew of brand new cast members for This Is Us Season 4—seen in this new promo trailer for the special extended premiere episode entitled “Strangers”.

Among them are two alums of Netflix series When They See Us: Asante Blackk and Marsha Stephanie Blake. We also see The Sixth Sense director M. Night Shyamalan as a new cast addition, along with Bahara Golestani (Animal Kingdom), Timothy Omundson (Psych: The Movie), Julian Silva (Queen of the South), Auden Thornton (Doubt), Nick Wechsler (Shades of Blue) and Omar Epps (House).

The details of their roles are, as yet, unknown, but it appears that Blake may be playing Blackks mother—in the clip we see her kiss his cheek—while Epps may be his father, since we see the pair working together as car mechanics.

We see her in modern-day military uniform seated at a desk with a framed photo of a father who could be Kevin (Justin Hartley), with a young son. And of course, we already know from the Season 3 finale flash forward that Kevin will have a son.

The trailer opens with Rebecca (Mandy Moore) and Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) in a car. Following her first Emmy nomination for this role in July, Moore told Deadline of the Season 4 beginning: “Myself and Milo, were picking up where we left off after that fateful road trip out to California. We just arrived back in Pittsburgh and were trying to figure out how we move forward with our relationship and meet each others respective families.”

In the trailer, a young Rebecca tells Jack: “Its actually kind of terrifying how a single cross with one person who youve never met can change everything.” Its not clear to whom this foreboding speech refers, but as the clip flicks through the faces of the new cast members, in classic This Is Us style, Rebeccas musing is likely to be the thread that draw together a series of different stories and timelines.
