Channel 4 abandoned the UK broadcast rights to the series last year…

This Is Us has swapped its main UK home after Channel 4 decided not to carry on airing the popular NBC series in November of last year. Amazon Prime Video UK was only streaming seasons 1 and 2 at the time, and picked up the nod to carry on releasing seasons after Channel 4 expressed its disinterest in continuing. Channel 4 had clearly lacked motivation in promoting the drama after moving season 2 of This Is Us to More4, and gave up on season 3 altogether.

The fourth season of This Is Us got underway in the US in September 2019, and NBC has confirmed that it is committed to two more seasons going forward. The tear-jerker was originally created by Dan Fogelman for the 2016 schedule, and follows the lives and families of two parents and their three children in several different time frames. The cast boasts Gilmore Girls and Heroes actor Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore (Tron: Uprising) and Sterling K. Brown (The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story), and has earned plenty of awards for its intricate storytelling.

Amazon Prime Video UK will stream This Is Us season 4 from Friday June 5th.
