This isn’t the news This Is Us fans were hoping for.
Jon Huertas, who plays Miguel on the NBC drama, revealed that production on the series may be delayed until January 2021 due to the coronavirus outbreak.
“I was just on the phone with [creator] Dan Fogelman, and we were talking about, you know, we may not go into production until January, depending on whether or not there’s a second wave,” he said in a conversation with Gov. Gavin Newsom and other industry leaders, per The Wrap.
The video-streamed call occurred as officials brainstorm plans to release guidelines for filming in a post-coronavirus world. Guidelines will be revealed next Monday and will likely adopt the protocols implemented in South Korea, Sweden, and Iceland, according to Variety.
“When we talk about the protocols and the guidelines that we may be following when we go back into production, it’s really kind of daunting to all of us. The actors, we talk all the time. We have a crew of 200-300 people who work in close proximity. We consider ourselves a family. As much as we would like to get back online, we are very much concerned about our crew,” Huertas revealed.

Of course, if production is pushed to the beginning of 2021, it means that the tearjerking family drama won’t return as part of the fall 2020-2021 TV lineup, and is likely to premiere either in the spring of 2021 or even be pushed to the fall of 2021.
FOX and The CW have both released fall 2020 lineup’s that have bypassed most of their scripted dramas, which are all set to return in 2021.
CBS is the only network that released a schedule with most of its scripted dramas in-tact leading many to believe that they’re feeling confident that they’ll resume production in time.
The good news is that This Is Us was renewed through season 6, so the show isn’t going anywhere, it just might not return as quickly as we expected.
And while it may be upsetting, at least we know NBC is prioritizing the safety of the actors and crew!
The rumors have been circulating for quite some time now, but neither Jesse Lee Soffer nor Tracy Spiridakos ever acknowledged them—no confirmation or denial from either party…until now, it seems.
If their Instagram posts are anything to go by, they may have just given fans a massive hint at the status of their relationship with an upload on August 29, 2024 that had the internet buzzing with thoughts.
Both Soffer and Spiridakos—whose characters Jay Halstead and Hailey Upton were married on Chicago PD–shared shots from their European vacation together. And yeah, sure, former co-stars can remain friendly and vacation together, but it was Soffer’s caption, “Europe is is kinda cool ,” that made heads turn and jaws drop.
The duo also looked smitten with each other in several of the selfie-style photos taken in the city streets and beaches of Lisbon, Portugal—and fans definitely took notice in the comments.
“They are a real life couple. Yayyy…. That makes me smile ” someone wrote of the alleged confirmation, as another noted, “real ones know they’ve been dating for years.”

Someone else suggested this was the duo finally “hard launching” their romance.
Back in January 2024, The Post confirmed that the duo was dating after appearing on the show together for six years.
Soffer left the police procedural in 2022 after 10 seasons, while Spiridakos followed shortly after in season 11 after signing on as a series regular in season 5.
While things didn’t turn out well for the on-screen couple as their characters broke up and filed for divorce, fans are hoping things work out better in real life.
Soffer previously dated his Chicago PD co-star Sophia Bush for about a year. She departed the series in 2017 at the end of season 4.
Summer 2024 is going to be one without Belly, Conrad and Jeremiah.
During Amazon’s Upfront event on Tuesday, which was attended by writer Jenny Han, Lola Tung, Gavin Casaelgno and Christopher Briney, it was revealed that the highly-anticipated third installment of the series is being delayed, with an expected release next year in 2025.
While that isn’t ideal for everyone waiting to see how this love triangle pans out (you should probably just read the book, if you haven’t, at this point), there is some good news on the horizon.
Minimal details about what to expect have been revealed, however, to make up for the long hiatus—season 2 aired its last episode in August 2023 making this a two-year gap—the third installment will come with an expanded episode count: 11 episodes instead of the previous 7 and 8 in season’s 1 and 2, respectively.
And as an extra little something-something for fans, the official TSITP X account shared a video of the cast playing beach volleyball with the caption, “see you in Cousins in 2025.”

And even better—the series has already begun filming, which means that while there’s a wait, there’s also momentum and excitement.

As for those who have read the book series—avert your eyes if you haven’t—it’s unclear if the 11 episodes will span the entire third book, We’ll Always Have Summer, which finds Belly making a choice between the brothers—or if it will divert from what’s already been established to something more fitting for television (and maybe even appeases the fandoms a bit more?).
I guess we’ll just have to wait and see!
Tracker, CBS’ new hit series starring This Is Us actor Justin Hartley, was an instant hit amongst audiences after it premiered in February.
And now, 13 episodes later, the first season is coming to an end.
Fans will have to say goodbye… for now… to Hartley’s Colter Shaw, a lone-wolf survivalist/reward seeker on May 19, 2024, when the series airs its season 1 finale.
Titled “The Storm,” the 13th episode’s synopsis notes: “Colter investigates the disappearance of two amateur storm chasers that the local police have written off as an accidental drowning; Colter’s expert tracking skills lead him to uncover the seedy underbelly of a small town resort.”
Of course, fans are already looking forward to the episode’s guest star and Hartley’s former co-star Jennifer Morrison, who is just one of several recent A-list appearances on the thriller drama. Earlier episodes of this season saw Supernatural’s Jensen Ackles and Manifest’s Melissa Roxburgh guest star as Colter’s siblings, Russ and Dory Shaw, respectively.
You can check out the season finale promo below, which finds Colter working against the clock to find his friend’s daughter alongside Morrison’s character. “She could still be alive,” he dramatically concludes as the teaser ends, reminding fans that he never gives up on those he’s helping.
Many fans hoped for a romantic pairing between Hartley and Morrison, which never happened, but maybe this is their second shot at love. Even though he’s a nomad driven by wanderlust and the need to help citizens and police solve crimes, he still needs a romantic interest. For now, the chemistry has mostly been with Reenie (Fiona Rene), a firecracker lawyer who helps him get out of plenty of close calls, but there’s always a chance he’ll meet the “right one” during one of his many stops across the U.S. that will encourage him to settle down or join him.
Check out the promo below and tune in next Sunday to see how the first season concludes:
