The Pearson’s Are Back in New ‘This Is Us’ Season 3 Premiere Photos

The This Is Us season three premiere is quickly approaching and while we haven’t been given an official trailer yet, NBC just released some amazing stills from the season premiere titled “Ave Maria”. In the photos, we are treated to first looks at Pearson’s past and present including the Big Three, Deja and Toby!

The new season will mark a fresh start for all of the Pearson’s throughout the decades. In the past timeline, Jack’s death has been revealed so the show will be able to dive into some new storylines with the young and teenage Big Three. In the present, Kate and Toby are married, Deja’s back with Randall and Beth, and Kevin has made huge strides both personally and professionally. Of course, there’s still a lot left of emotional drama in store for the Pearson clan, but for now, let’s just enjoy these photos and patiently count down the days until the 25th!

Randall and Beth will clearly continue to be relationship goals.

Find someone who looks at you the way Beth looks at Randall (I’m assuming).

Things may look swell now, but the season will feature a Toby-centric episode that will probably shed some light on his depressive state from the season 2 flash forward.
