Yahoo News This Is Us stars to have unexpected TV reunion
This Is Us stars Justin Hartley and Jennifer Morrison are set for an on-screen reunion.
The duo, who played Kevin Pearson and Cassidy Sharp on the hit show, will reunite on the season finale of Hartley's CBS drama Tracker.
The series follows Colter Shaw (Hartley), a survivalist and tracker who helps law enforcement and private citizens for money.
Speaking to Collider, Hartley revealed that Morrison will play a "key role" in the show as "an old family friend of [Shaw's] from way back when they were kids."

He also teased: "That whole family dynamic leaks out a little bit through her experience with him in the finale. So, there's that. I probably wasn't supposed to tell you that, but it's all good."
The final episode, titled 'The Storm', will air on May 19 and follow Shaw as he investigates the disappearance of two storm chasers — who police believe accidentally drowned. However, the tracker is certain there's more to the story and endeavours to uncover "the seedy underbelly of a small town resort".
This isn't the first This Is Us reunion for Hartley, as his former co-star Jon Huertas, who played Miguel Rivas in the show, recently signed on to direct Tracker's ninth episode.

Morrison joined the hit family drama in season four, when her character Cassidy met protagonist Kevin in rehab. The pair quickly formed a romantic connection that later fizzled out, but they remained firm friends.
The reunion comes after stars Mandy Moore, Sterling K Brown and Chris Sullivan announced a new rewatch podcast, titled That Was Us, which will examine the fan-favourite show through a 2024 lens.
"We'll break down each episode, bring on some very special guests, have the tough conversations and maybe do some collective healing along the way," the trio wrote on Instagram.
This Is Us aired on NBC in the US, and is available on Prime Video or Disney+ in the UK.
