If you’re a fan of This Is Us, you know that the show wasn’t just about storytelling—it was about family. Even after the series ended, the bond between the cast remains unbreakable. When news broke that Sterling K. Brown’s new show, Paradise, and Justin Hartley’s Tracker were both renewed, their former co-stars were quick to show their support.
In a world where Hollywood friendships often feel fleeting, this heartwarming response proves that the Pearson family is forever. Let’s dive into why these renewals are a huge deal and how the This Is Us cast reacted in the most wholesome way possible.
We aren’t even two months into the year, and the 2025 TV schedule has already been filled to the brim with great shows and networks have been taking notice and handing out renewals. In fact, CBS renewed nine shows on Thursday, including Justin Hartley’s hit drama Tracker, while Hulu picked up Sterling K. Brown’s Paradise for a second season. With the This Is Us stars sticking around on their respective shows, their former NBC co-stars are showing all the love, and I’m thrilled to see it!
The Members Of This Is Us’ Big Three Respond To Paradise’s Renewal
Paradise, which comes from This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman, dropped early on streaming services on January 26, two days before it was scheduled to premiere the first three episodes. Since then, the show has become quite a hit, leading Hulu to renew it with just six episodes under its belt.
Brown dropped the good news via the Paradise Instagram account, with “Season 2” written on his hand to celebrate, take a look:
Many fans took to the comments to share their happiness over the news, as well as some of the Paradise cast, including James Marsden.
But that’s not all. Brown’s This Is Us co-star Chrissy Metz couldn’t help but share some sisterly love for her on-screen brother and was as excited as ever to hear that more Paradise is on the way, commenting:
Phew!! We need MORE!! 🎉✨👏
Additionally, Hartley liked Brown’s post about the show, proving that The Big Three will always be close.
Even though the NBC drama these actors worked on together ended in 2022, the cast is still like a family, and it’s so great to see, especially since we know the This Is Us cast still text each other.
Also, seeing this renewal has me thinking that since Brown is still working with Fogelman on Paradise, maybe another This Is Us reunion could happen on the show…or Hartley’s series, Tracker.
The success of Paradise and Tracker isn’t just a win for Brown and Hartley—it’s a win for This Is Us fans everywhere. Seeing the cast come together to celebrate each other reminds us why we fell in love with the show in the first place.
While This Is Us may be over, its spirit lives on in the unwavering bond between its cast members. And honestly? That’s the kind of wholesome content we love to see.
