Not only is Ventimiglia returning as the town bad boy, but he also confirmed to TV Line that he will star in "more than two, less than four" episodes. He also noted that "not much has changed in Jess's world" since the show's original finale.
During a reception for his new series, This Is Us, he told E! News about what we can expect from his character's return. "He grew up and he turned into a really decent guy," he said. "In terms of what are the lessons he went through, I think he had to have life lived. I think he had to experience heartbreak, he had to experience happiness, he had to experience all these things that we all come across in life, but we can only measure the scale of them when we have time," Ventimiglia explained. "I think who Jess turned out to be was just — he got to experience life and I think he became a really cool young guy."
