This Is Us Limited Series Revival Of Our Dreams: Here's What We Imagine The Pearsons Have Been Up To, Post-Finale

It's been nearly three months since This Is Us ended its six-season run, and in that time, we've realized that we really don't want to live in a world without The Pearsons — or, at least, hope of their return.

Sure, we know that series creator Dan Fogelman has said he's "pretty set" on this past May's Season 6/series finale being the final installment of the family drama, and that "I really feel we've put these stories to bed now." But he also said, "Who knows what change of heart my ensuing midlife crisis brings?"

So with that in mind, we're doing a little daydreaming about what a revival of the long-running family drama might look like. We're thinking a limited series... bringing back all of the original cast... with music by Siddhartha Khosla... and copious reflections on the bittersweet nature of existence. And really, is that too much to ask?

We've even had a few thoughts about where the Pearsons might be, say, 10 years after the events of the series finale. Did Randall ever make it to the Oval Office? Did Kevin turn down The Manny's second reboot? Did Kate create a revolution in education? In short, did they live as fearlessly as Rebecca begged them to before her own life came to an end?

Read through our thoughts for what various members of the Pearson family might be up to in a This Is Us limited series revival, then hit the comments with your ideas for a This Is Us revival or spinoff!

We'd meet up with our favorite family again sometime in the 2040s. We'd learn that Randall, despite a strong showing in the Democratic primary, did not secure the nomination necessary to run for president in 2036. But he was so impressive that he was a natural pick for the next president's cabinet: Meet Secretary of State Randall Pearson! When not handling global affairs with aplomb, he'd be showering his grandkids with dad jokes and plotting with Beth about the retirement they both keep talking about (but aren't anywhere near ready to take).

With her music schools for the visually impaired a huge success all over the United States — and with the staff she's assembled basically taking care of the day-to-day operations — Kate next will turn her attention to a project a little closer to home: tagging along as her son, Jack, embarks on his first international tour.

When approached to appear as a grandfather in yet another reboot of The Manny, Kev instead pitches a gender-flipped, aged-up version of the show. His proposed title? The Granny. Hollywood likes it, and Kevin becomes an executive producer on the sitcom almost by accident. Though he wrestles with it at first, Sophie helps him understand that the show's success gives his public profile a boost that will only help his veterans-construction nonprofit, which has gone nationwide in the years since Rebecca's death.

We'd learn that, in the time between Rebecca's death and the revival, retired American Ballet Theatre star Misty Copeland started a nonprofit aimed at opening up ballet for kids from all socioeconomic backgrounds. And when Copeland needed an experienced hand to run the place, she recruited Beth for the job — which she was able to juggle well when Randall's cabinet appointment necessitated a move to Washington, D.C. (And in case you're wondering why Beth is the only Pearson spouse we included on this list, there's a simple reason: We love her the most.)

C'mon, you didn't think we'd have another chapter of This Is Us and not somehow work in Mom and Dad Pearson, did you? As the (living) family all gathers for a happy occasion — maybe Jack's first Grammy Awards? Annie's wedding? We don't know, we'll leave the major details up to the professionals — Rebecca and Jack will watch lovingly from the great beyond as their family lives on. But don't worry, Bec, it won't be weird. You won't have to watch them shower or anything.
