By Reed Gaudens
You don’t have to wait until September to catch your favorite This Is Us stars back in action. Here’s seven new movies you can watch them in this year!
There’s good news and bad news. Unfortunately, there’s still quite a bit of time left to wait before This Is Us returns this fall with Season 3. However, you don’t have to wait as long to be reunited with your favorite Pearsons. As fans might have already been aware, the stars of the primetime tearjerker and ratings behemoth are hot commodities in Hollywood and will soon take their talents to the big screen for all of your summer blockbuster needs.
Although we have caught them in movies before (hello, Mandy Moore’s romantic comedies and Sterling K. Brown’s turn in Black Panther), this summer will unleash a wave of new movies just in time to tide us over until they tug on our heartstrings. Brown will co-headline Hotel Artemis, while Mandy Moore will appear in The Darkest Minds and Chrissy Metz has a supporting role in an upcoming Netflix comedy starring Stranger Things’ Shannon Purser. Catch all of the pressing dates and details about the seven movies This Is Us fans must check out this year!
