Chrissy Metz Would 'Love' to Do a 'This Is Us' Movie: 'We Need a Revival'

Chrissy Metz is all for a This Is Us onscreen reunion.

“I mean, we need a revival! I would love a movie,” Metz, 44, exclusively told Us Weekly at Lifetime’s Summer Soirée on Wednesday, July 16, at the Calabra Rooftop Restaurant & Bar at Santa Monica Proper Hotel. “I think everybody would love a movie. So, we’ll see.”

She added, “I haven’t heard anything. Everybody’s pretty busy, but it would be nice.”

Metz played Kate on all six seasons of NBC’s This Is Us, a drama that chronicled the lives of the multigenerational Pearson family across multiple timelines. The show, created by Dan Fogelman, also starred Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Justin Hartley, Sterling K. Brown and Chris Sullivan.

While This Is Us wrapped in 2022, most of the cast has remained close.

“I mean, we’re always [in touch],” Metz told Us, noting that she speaks to her former costars nearly every day. “[I] just talked to Sterling yesterday about his nomination and Dan. We’re always chatting.”

Brown, 49, was recently nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series at the 2025 Emmys for his lead role on Paradise, which Fogelman, 49, created for Hulu. Paradise scored three additional nods for Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series and Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for James Marsden and Julianne Nicholson, respectively.

As for Metz, she has moved on from This Is Us with a role in Lifetime’s upcoming Faith in the Flames: The Nichole Jolly Story.

“I’m so inspired by [Nichole] and just her humility through everything she’s gone through and what she did and what she was capable of, and to still have that humility,” Metz said on Wednesday. “It’s, like, bananas and just so grounding.”

She continued, “I just feel really honored to play someone who is, like, an unsung hero and to hopefully inspire other people that even if you’re not battling a terrible, unfortunate fire. We each have our own fire to walk through and to go through. So, it means a lot.”

The film is based on Jolly’s real life. She is a nurse who risked her life to save hospital patients and colleagues during the 2018 Camp Fire in Paradise, California.

“I shared with Nichole that I can’t imagine in a controlled environment being that scared,” Metz told Us. “Like, what do you do in a real fire, and there isn’t any hope of getting out, like, what? I can’t wrap my head around it. I’m just so proud of Lifetime [and] I’m proud of her. I’m proud of women who are resilient and who are just so courageous because I need to take a page out of their book.”

Faith in the Flames: The Nichole Jolly Story premieres on Lifetime Saturday, July 19, at 8 p.m. ET.
