NBC breakout drama "This Is Us" is getting an early renewal, times two.

The network has picked up two seasons — second and third — consisting of minimum 18-episodes each of the Tuesday night phenom. The announcement was made at the top of the show's TCA panel.





“We all got our wish that this is a hit show,” said Jennifer Salke, President, NBC Entertainment.

“This Is Us is as good as anything we’ve ever had, we’re thrilled to renew it for two seasons and there’s no doubt it will have a long life on NBC. On behalf of everyone at NBC, we’re grateful for the artistry of the cast, crew, and producers assembled by our gifted creator, Dan Fogelman. In a world where there are literally hundreds of television dramas, we’re proud to have one of the very best that is also one of the highest-rated.”





To date, 72 million total viewers have viewed the first 10 episodes in some fashion on all platforms. Linear viewership plus views on all devices of the pilot episode since Sept. 20 stands at an estimated 10.0 rating in the 18-49 demo. The show to date is averaging an estimated 8.3 rating in 18-49 most current data.

"This Is Us" is also NBC’s most-viewed series premiere on record, more than doubling the network’s previous record for most one-day views of a debuting series across the network’s digital platforms.
