‘This Is Us’ Was Originally Conceptualized as a Movie Focusing on Sextuplets in England (EXCLUSIVE)
In the new issue of In Touch, This Is Us execs and cast reveal major behind-the-scenes secrets! For starters, the series originally was conceptualized as a movie focusing on sextuplets in England and the Pearsons were almost the Peasings.

Mandy Moore, 33, and Justin Hartley, 41, almost played lovers on another show. “If that pilot would have [been picked up], it would have run two or three episodes and then I wouldn’t have gotten this job,” Justin said. “I’m glad it fell apart!”
