We’re only a few episodes into the third season of NBC’s smash-hit “This Is Us,” and already creator Dan Fogelman has let it be known he’s shooting scenes that will ultimately be included in the show’s series finale. But with the secrecy surrounding the family drama, we know very little about what actually goes down when we say goodbye to the Pearson clan.
Fortunately, Chrissy Metz — who plays Kate Pearson — stopped by the “Tonight Show” Monday to give Jimmy Fallon just a teeny, tiny bit more about the ultra secret series finale scenes.
“So, they’ve done, they’ve banked a couple of scenes for the series finale,” Metz told Fallon, when he pulled at that particular thread. “I know.”
When Fallon suggested Metz must have had fun filming some of those final pieces of the puzzle, she replied, coyly: “Who knows if I was in them.”
Ah, rats, Jimmy. You can’t trick Chrissy into revealing things that easily.
“Yeah. But I’m not going to tell you who were in the scenes,” Metz continued. “I mean I might have been around the set. I don’t know if I was actually in the scenes though. Mhm-mhm. Do with that what you will.”
When asked for some spoilers for the current season, Metz told Fallon, “I would say, I can’t tell you anything. But, uh, we know that, you know, Kate is gonna be having a babe. I know that there is going to be some joy for both Kate and [her husband Toby, played by Chris Sullivan]. And when there is joy, there’s also pain. ‘Cause a la, ‘This Is Us.’ But there’ll be joy.”
