This Is Us’ Pearson Family Tree Explained

The Pearson family is the heart of This Is Us, and the (mostly) tight-knit group spans multiple generations over the course of the six-season television series. The plot twist at the end of the NBC drama’s pilot episode revealed that the show would jump around between numerous timelines as it told the story of the Pearsons. Although the series featured around 16 family members throughout its six seasons and 106 episodes, the most significant ones were undoubtedly Jack, Rebecca, Kevin, Kate, and Randall. They were at the core of the overarching story, and the narrative often revolved around them (even though one was dead in the present timeline).
