Season 5 of NBC’s flagship drama “This Is Us” is getting moved up earlier than expected.
The new season will premiere on Tuesday, Oct. 27, from 9-11 p.m. Et/Pt. Originally, it was slated to air on Nov. 11, NBC had announced last month. The later premiere dates for “This Is Us” and several other shows were due to production shutdowns caused by the coronavirus pandemic. However, moving up “This Is Us” season 5 is a win for NBC as the majority of scripted content at major networks has been delayed until November or later.
“This Is Us” stars Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz, Justin Hartley, Chris Sullivan and Susan Kelechi Watson as members of the Pearson family across several generations. The beloved family drama has been nominated for five Emmy awards, including three nods for outstanding drama series.

NBC has announced its premiere dates for the fall, which will see September and October be packed with mostly unscripted fare, while most scripted originals have been pushed.
The majority of the network’s big scripted shows, including “This Is Us,” its three “Chicago” dramas and “Law & Order: Svu” have been shunted back to November premiere dates due to Covid-19 production complications.
However, there are quite a few shows missing from the network’s previous fall schedule announcement back in June. New “Law & Order” spinoff “Law & Order: Organized Crime” is nowhere to be found, and NBC is now saying it will not premiere until 2021, when it will be joined by fellow scripted newcomers “Kenan,” and “Mr. Mayor.”
Several other returning shows, including “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Good Girls,” “Making It,” “Manifest,” “New Amsterdam” and “Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist,” will be back towards the beginning of next year, according to sources.
