It’s a Pearson family reunion, and “the big three” is about to welcome a new addition.
As This Is Us stars Milo Ventimiglia and Mandy Moore reunited for the latter’s rewatch podcast That Was Us, they recreated a behind-the-scenes photo of their characters Jack and Rebecca Pearson, baby bump and all.
“#ThisIsUs now and #ThatWasUs then… Follow @thatwasus for more update,” Moore shared in a post along with the podcast, which she co-hosts with Sterling K. Brown and Chris Sullivan.

She and Ventimiglia played the parents of “the big three,” triplets Kevin (Justin Hartley), Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Randall (Brown), for the entirety of the NBC drama series’ six-season run from 2016 to 2022. The show followed the Pittsburgh family through multiple eras, from the birth of their kids, to Jack’s untimely death, and the triplets’ adult lives, raising families of their own.
Moore, Brown and Sullivan launched That Was Us in May, diving back into the family drama with fellow castmates, surprise guests and fans. The podcast is produced by Rob Holysz and Jeph Porter of Rabbit Grin Productions and Sara Wehrheim of Hearsay.
Sullivan explained that the podcast was sparked “during a simple coffee meet-up” with Brown, adding, “We realized there was so much more to explore and share. ‘Let the journey continue,’ we thought, and here we are.”
“It was the quickest ‘yes,’” said Brown. “To be able to once again join forces and work with the fam again? Easy.”
Moore added, “These guys told me what they were up to and I jumped in. The Pearsons’ stories may have ended after six seasons, but ours continue on so why not keep doing life together? There’s much to connect over and lots of healing to be done.”
