While This Is Us won't be ending anytime soon, it's boss already knows how the series will end.
In fact, creator Dan Fogelman has revealed that they've actually already shot parts of the final ever scene in the series. Talk about forward planning!
"We're pretty far along," he told Entertainment Weekly of how far ahead they have mapped the NBC show. "Our writers and I are kind of to the end.
"We have a path for each season of the show. We've always had a plan… I don't think this show will ever - despite any success it may or may not have - will ever overstay its welcome, and we have a story to tell. And we want to do this the right way. And so we have a plan."
He added: "I've actually already shot pieces of the final scene in the series."
While he obviously did not detail what will happen - why would he? - Fogelman did tease some upcoming storylines.

One person that will get more focus is Toby (Chris Sullivan), and we will also get a "deep dive" into Beth's (Susan Kelechi Watson) backstory, with both characters getting their own episodes.
"You're going to be surprised what Toby and Beth were like before they entered this family," the creator added.
He also teased the 'Who is "Her"?' mystery introduced in the season two finale, adding: "Our plan right now is that big questions will be answered in the course of the season. I think people are going to be surprised with how we use that timeline."
This Is Us returns to NBC in the US later this year. Channel 4 airs the show in the UK, but hasn't confirmed a season two premiere date yet.
