And the first show of the 2016-17 TV season to get a full-season pickup is…not a surprise whatsoever!

This Is Us, a.k.a. NBC's tear-jerking new drama that debuted to huge numbers last week, has scored an additional five-episode order to bring the hit series' first season to a total of 18 episodes. It's both a no-brainer for NBC, considering the series had millions of viewers watching its trailer before 14.3 million people tuned in to the series premiere, and an early call, considering the fact that many of the season's new shows haven't even debuted yet.
