This Is Us season four is finally here, and it's introducing us to a whole new set of characters. The trailer for the new season gave us a quick glimpse of what's to come, and the season four premiere connects all the dots. Well, at least a few of the dots.
Not only do we meet Toby and Kate's grown-up son, Jack (and his wife), but we also meet a potential love interest for Deja. Curious to see how they all connect to the Pearson family? Keep scrolling to learn more about all the new and returning stars for This Is Us season four.
The up-and-coming actor plays the grown-up version of Kate and Toby's son, Jack. In the premiere, we learn that Jack is sight-impaired and is a musician just like his mom and grandmother.
