The creative team behind the show has previously said on multiple occasions that they planned to wrap the show up with its sixth outing, and here's what the cast is speaking out about the decision, as per US Weekly.
Mandy Moore who plays Rebecca Pearson in the series, took to her Instagram handle and wrote, "Officially official. One season left of my favourite job. You can bet we will be soaking in every single moment," with a photo of Fogelman's announcement.
On her Instagram Story, she reminded fans that the show isn't done yet saying, "I'm already VERY emotional about my favourite job coming to an end. BUT ... We have a whole season to wrap things up the way it was always intended."

Logan Shroyer who has played Kevin through his high school years and into his early 20s reposted creator Fogelman's announcement on his Instagram story and wrote, "That's almost a wrap folks." US Weekly reported that Justin Hartley who plays Kevin, in a recent interview didn't give away much about his reaction to the final season, but he knows why fans are still so attached to the story after five seasons. "When you can write something that's that authentic or real or pure, I think people see themselves in it and they relate to the characters," the actor explained. Hannah Zeile who plays Kate as a young adult kept her reaction to 'This Is Us' ending very simple. Zeile reposted Fogelman's message on her Instagram Story and added a sad eyes emoji with a red heart emoji.
