Does that necessarily mean every single character will get a happy ending? Dan is obviously remaining tight-lipped on the ending, but he did have this to say about his hopes for the show's legacy. Per the same Variety interview, Dan said, "Nothing would make me happier than for people to go, 20 years from now, ‘Can you believe all these writers worked on This Is Us, because I think that’s going to be part of the legacy of the show,” he says. “And hopefully they’ll say, ‘There was this thing on TV once, and it was sad, but it was also about nice, flawed people who are trying to do the right thing."
