This Is Us just made the big decision to delay the winter return of the show by a week. Nobody is thrilled with that news.

The fans have been waiting for This Is Us to come back after a month-long break. There are no new episodes in December at all and the show was said to come back on January 2, 2018. Now, TV Guide is sharing the news that for some reason NBC has decided to change the return of the show until January 9, 2018.

So far, the network hasn’t explained what made them move the return of the show. The season finale is already scheduled for March 14 and now fans are wondering if that is going to change as well, but they haven’t said yet. More than likely, they will need an extra week to finish off airing all of the episodes for Season 2.

When This Is Us aired the last episode, Kevin was just getting arrested for DUI and he had Randall’s daughter in the car with him. Randall was ready to kill his brother, but of course, he was also really worried about him. Kate just found out that she had a miscarriage and that had rocked her world. The fans can’t wait for the return of the show to see what happens next. Hopefully, Kevin will be able to get his act together. Now, we just have to wait one week longer to see how it goes.
