Apart from personal life trauma, Justin Hartley will struggle to deal with new problems in This Is Us Season 5. Justin’s Kevin Pearson fought with his brother Randall Pearson in the last season. The heated up conversation would have a great impact in the upcoming season. But his traumatic period doesn’t end here as Kevin, while struggling with so much anxiety, made another big mistake. It seems Kevin would likely struggle to manage a new life as a father. Since his one-night stand with Madison Simons resulted in her expecting a baby. Thus, Kevin has plenty of troubles to deal with in the next season.
This Is Us, created by Dan Fogelman, is a family drama show on NBC. It follows Rebecca and Jack Pearson, expecting a triplet on Jack’s birthday. However, due to premature delivery, only two survived, Kevin and Kate. But, the couple urged for having three kids. That made them adopt an African-American child Randall, who was born at the same hospital. Unfortunately, Randall’s biological father abandoned him near the fire station. The Pearson family lived a joyous life until Jack died when his children were only 17. After then, Rebecca married Jack’s best friend, Miguel Rivas, to start a new life.
