Here's When You Can Watch The Fall Season 3 on Netflix
If you too have been mesmerized by The Fall on Netflix, you may be wondering when it's finally returning with new episodes. Jamie Dornan is every bit as attractive here as he is in Fifty Shades of Grey, though he's playing a fully psychotic serial killer. The good news is that season three is on the way! Thank goodness - the last episodes left us with a cliffhanger that found Spector's (Dornan) life in danger, with Gibson (Gillian Anderson) frantically trying to save him. Here's what we know!
It's the Final Season
The upcoming season (or "series," as they call them across the pond) will consist of five episodes, and they will close out the entire story.
The New Cast Members
In addition to Dornan and Anderson, the upcoming episodes will feature new cast members Krister Henriksson (Wallander), Aidan McArdle (Mr Selfridge), Richard Coyle (Covert Affairs), Ruth Bradley (Humans), and Aisling Bea (Trollied).
The Trailer
This is the best look we have at season three so far, and it spoils the fact that Spector very likely survives his gunshot wounds from the season two finale. (Did you honestly expect him to die?)
Jamie Dornan's Comments
Dornan himself tantalized fans during a recent press conference, saying, "There's quite remarkable turns in the third season that I really genuinely think people won't see coming that are hugely exciting."
There's Finally a US Release Date
The Fall's third season is premiering in the UK on BBC Two on Sept. 29, but it won't be on Netflix until Oct. 29.
Your Favorite '90s Beauty Trends Got a Chic Makeover on Fendi's Runway
From chokers and backpacks to grunge makeup and shaggy hair, everything '90s is getting new life in 2016. It seems the revival of these trends will extend well into next year, because the beauty look on the Fendi Spring 2017 runway was basically the cool-girl version of #TBT.
Stylist Sam McKnight arranged the models' strands into various styles we wore back in the day - half-up, pigtails, supersleek - all accessorized with funky studded hair clips. Instead of looking like a punk metallic accent, they appeared almost like Legos or candy, and their petite size reminded us of butterfly clips.
Makeup artist Peter Phillips crafted dramatic, graphic cat eyes that were sketched far past the inner and outer corners of the models' eyes, making them look large and doll-like. He completed the face with salmon-pink glitter lips that from a distance resembled molten rose gold. We're pretty sure that the finished look is something Baby Spice would totally approve of.
Read on to see the ladies of the runway - including sisters Gigi and Bella Hadid - rocking these gorgeous takes on '90s trends.

Count How Many Diamond Rings French Montana Just Put on Iggy Azalea's Finger
Iggy Azalea is proudly showing off her new bling on Instagram, but she's not keeping mum on who gave it to her. "He told me pressure makes diamonds @FrenchMontana," she wrote. While Iggy has insisted that she and French Montana are just friends, this new row of sparklers - delicate little stones that Iggy can stack and rearrange as she pleases - speaks volumes. If the jewelry is just a casual gift from a BFF, well, someone give us French's number, so we can take him to coffee. Read on for a detail shot of Iggy's rings, then shop similar bands until your own French Montana comes along.
Look Out, Anna Wintour - Lil Bub Is Ready to Take On the Fashion World
As rabid fans of Lil Bub's Instagram (where she accurately describes herself as a "lady, and a magical, one of a kind space cat"), we nearly jumped out of our seats at the chance to catch up with her about her latest project. Beloved internet starlet Lil Bub is currently dipping her paw into the elite world of fashion design as a celebrity judge for the 12th annual Sock It to Me Design-a-Sock Contest. Designers and fans of all ages are encouraged to submit a creative sock design sketch to Sock It to Me for a chance to win up to $2,000 and have their winning design manufactured as part of Sock It to Me's Fall 2017 collection! That is, if their designs are up to Lil Bub's high standards. Read ahead for our candid chat with Lil Bub about what makes a top-notch sock design as well as her deepest thoughts on distant galaxies.
POPSUGAR: You're a celebrity judge for this year's Sock It to Me design competition – tell us about that experience! What does Lil Bub look for in a winning pair of socks?
Lil Bub: I have a true passion for socks, despite not being able to wear them. My favorite part of being a judge for Sock It to Me's Design-a-Sock Contest is really just looking at so many amazing socks. In terms of "judging" for a winning pair, it requires such a deep level of focus and concentration that I find it difficult to express in words how to achieve it. All I know is that I look at the socks, enter an altered state of consciousness, and then snap out of it with my final decision. (Also, let me just say that if the sock design features dinosaurs, I'm gonna be all about it.)
PS: We love dinosaurs, too. Great choice. So, describe your personal style - who are the style gurus (four-legged or two-legged) you look to for inspiration?
LB: My style is best described as being minimalistic – well, I'm basically completely naked at all times. It's mostly inspired by exotic cloud formations on planets in distant galaxies, as they are all "nude" in their own very special way.
PS: Ah, yes, nude cloud formations are going to be big next season on the runway. You're onto something, Bub. Moving on, we know the fashion industry has a reputation for being pretty demanding. How difficult has it been to navigate that world as a cat?
LB: Really? I had no idea! I've been navigating this world rather effortlessly, using my relatively thorough understanding of your planet's gravitational pull combined with the intricacies of the movement of my own limbs.
PS: You're obviously a motivated feline - what's your ultimate career goal?
LB: Genuine world empathy and compassion. That will solve all of our problems.
PS: What should we expect to come next in Lil Bub land? Any exciting new design projects we should be on the lookout for?
LB: I'm glad you asked! Look out for exclusive, limited-edition Knit BUBgly Christmas Sweaters coming this holiday season.
PS: Any advice for all of the kittens out there who aspire to be an entrepreneur cat like you one day? LB: I realize this may sound hypocritical following my last answer, but the truth is I'm not really an entrepreneur, at least not in the traditional sense. I just roll with the punches. I landed on this planet, people saw me, they were inspired and in love, and had a strong desire for cool stuff with my amazing face on it. I saw [the Sock It to Me competition] as an opportunity to raise money for animals in need. As a cat that never actively aspired for what success has transpired, I'm afraid I don't have much advice to give. With that said, my advice to kittens who aspire to achieve peace, love, and harmony is to just be yourself.

15 Mexican Recipes to Mark Día de los Muertos
Although Día de los Muertos is a religious celebration in Mexico, there's plenty of food on the day (which in some places is actually celebrated for weeks on end). As tradition often says, when the souls of your loved ones return for the night, you better have something good waiting for them to enjoy. In that spirit, we've rounded up 15 festive and delicious recipes, from crafty sugar skulls to traditional Mexican dishes.
This Gucci Dress Will Remind You of Your Favorite Childhood Cartoon Character
When I was in nursery school, I watched a lot of Sailor Moon. Parked up in front of the television set with a bowl full of Cap'n Crunch, watching a blonde in pigtails save the world. That was me. So you can imagine I'd recognize her red, white, and blue outfit anywhere. As I watched the Gucci runway show, waiting in anticipation as every magical Spring look strolled down the runway, I did not expect to see said outfit. I was ill-prepared, my bowl of Cap'n Crunch nowhere in sight.
But alas, Alessandro Michele designed an artsy dress that looked just like Sailor Moon's kitschy costume. It had a red silk bow, albeit tied around the waist instead of affixed to the collar. Its sleeves are basically two ear-shaped ruffles, so this look has no room for elbow-length gloves. And the Sailor Moon dress is long, so I can only see a peek of the gemstone metallic platforms that are underneath.
Even so, I'm embracing this throwback moment. I can't wait for one Gucci muse like Florence Welch or Dakota Johnson (Michelle Obama?!) to wear this number on the red carpet. I'll probably scream, "It's the Sailor Moon dress!" It will probably show up in my dreams. It will probably make me want to eat a bowl of Cap'n Crunch.
GIFs That Show Soni Nicole Bringas Might Be the Best Thing About Fuller House
Kimmy Gibbler's daughter, Ramona, might be the best thing about Netflix's Fuller House. The character is full of spark, but it is all about 14-year-old Soni Nicole Bringas's perfect delivery of the lines and on-point body language.
We see a bright future for the ubertalented actress - whose mom was born in Barcelona, Spain, and whose dad was born in Montevideo, Uruguay - not only in acting but also dancing. So now that the show has been renewed for a second season (thank you, Netflix gods!), we thought it was only appropriate to round up the best GIFs of Ramona's first few episodes. Keep reading to see all the times she was simply perfection.

You'll Think Gigi Hadid Pulled This Look Straight Out of Kim Kardashian's Closet
There are looks that come down the runway each season, begging the question, "who would actually wear this in real life?" The answer might just be Gigi Hadid. After all, the supermodel's proven she will wear just about anything on the catwalk; but her street style is just as compelling. Sure, she's had her lazy-girl moments, but Gigi can pull off a high-fashion outfit with ease. Take this for instance, a knit bodysuit she slipped into at Milan Fashion Week on Wednesday. Complete with furry-trimmed heels and a sequined coat thrown nonchalantly over her shoulders, she oozes confidence and elegance, despite the fact that, well, her bottom half is almost entirely exposed.
How does she make it look sophisticated? Maybe even normal? The truth is that it has a lot to do with just being Gigi. We're not entirely surprised to see her baring her stems so boldly, adding such a dramatic coat, or seemingly impractical heels, as you do when you're a major model. Regardless, we don't think there are many women out there who could make going pantless look so polished. Read on to see her statement-making look in full.

Um, Did Scream Queens Just Re-Create an Iconic Twilight Scene?
Image Source: Fox
Taylor Lautner will forever be known for his role as Jacob Black in Twilight, and even Ryan Murphy knows it. During the season two premiere of Scream Queens, the show seemed to be poking fun at the famous franchise with one simple scene. It starts when Lautner's character, an attractive young doctor named Dr. Cassidy Cascade, accidentally brushes arms with Zayday (Keke Palmer) in the hospital. Although the action seems innocent, she quickly remarks that his skin is cold to the touch.
Even though they're not making fun of Lautner's previous character, the scene has a striking similarity to Bella Swan's infamous encounter with Edward Cullen in the first Twilight film. His response? "I run cold" - and the vampire references don't end there. When Zayday compares his skin to a block of ice, Lautner retorts by giving his best tortured soul impression. "I envy ice," he croons. "At least if you give it warmth, it melts." So, is Murphy just having a little fun with the writing, or is he actually foreshadowing that the doctor is a bloodsucker? He did include vampires in American Horror Story: Hotel so it's not completely out of the question. Guess we will just have to wait to find out!

Get to Know the Eccentric King Ezekiel in the New Season 7 Trailer For The Walking Dead
The first trailer for The Walking Dead's seventh season debuted at San Diego Comic-Con in July, and now that we've finally sorted out our feelings about it, AMC has released a few more looks at what's to come. The original clip started off with a montage of each character's happiest moments while Negan's ominous voice explains in the background how he's going to "beat the living hell" out of one of them, as well as glimpses at one of the new season's most anticipated new characters, King Ezekiel, and his blood-soaked pet tiger, Shiva. The second teaser focuses solely on Negan, with another voiceover of him explaining that "there are rules" and "things have changed." The latest clip AMC shared is all about Ezekiel and his kingdom, offering up quick shots of him taking out a walker with his staff and Jesus fighting for his life. Watch the illuminating trailers, and then check out all the things we know about the new season so far before it premieres on Oct. 23.

All the Ladies Who Have Been Romanced by Brad Pitt
Before Brad Pitt's divorce from Angelina Jolie, the father of six seemed to have left his past as one of Hollywood's hottest bachelors behind him. Throughout the late '80s and '90s, Brad pretty much changed his girlfriend as often as he changed his famous hair and was linked to nearly all of his famous costars. Whether or not Brad actually had a serious relationship with these leading ladies is something only he could tell you, but regardless, take a look inside the Allied actor's little black book to see who has been lucky enough to have (supposedly) fallen under his spell.

Get Ready For a Whole New Season of Cookie Lyon's Killer Style
We loved Cookie Lyon's over-the-top fashion before we even saw Taraji P. Henson bring her to life on the screen or knew that Empire would quickly become the highest-rated new series on television when it debuted last year. Now heading into its third season, we're following the fashion as avidly as we're following the drama of the Lyon clan, living for Cookie's spunk and unstoppable style.
As bold-faced and unapologetic as she is, Cookie's look is fantasy-inducing and fabulous, making Henson one of the best dressed women on television. See the proof and gather some inspiration from what just might be the most stylish show since Gossip Girl as we gear up for the season premiere.
Are Fitness Trackers Secretly Sabotaging Your Weight-Loss Goals?
A recent study has found wearable fitness trackers might actually be undermining health and weight-loss goals. Researchers from the Physical Activity and Weight Management Research Center published a study in The Journal of the American Medical Association about the effectiveness of fitness trackers for long-term weight loss. Their findings came as a surprise to both the researchers and, now, the internet.
The study looked at 500 overweight men and women between the ages of 18 and 35 over the course of two years. For the first six months, the subjects were instructed to follow the same low-calorie diet and moderate exercise plan. All of the subjects subsequently lost weight.
The next phase of the study asked half of the subjects to track their daily physical activity online, and the other half were to use a fitness tracker. Unexpectedly, those who wore the fitness tracker were less active and lost fewer pounds.
One researcher, Dr. John Jakicic, told The New York Times they were initially confident that those who wore the fitness trackers would exercise more. Instead, the subjects who logged their activity online lost, on average, 13 pounds, and the others lost about eight pounds. "We were definitely surprised," he added.
Though the researchers cited multiple explanations, Dr. Jakicic thinks it's possible that those wearing the trackers felt discouraged by their large exercise goals and would give up during their workouts since they were seeing their results in real time. It's also possible that the technology became the focus of their workouts, as opposed to reaching a personal limit of exertion and effort. "People may have focused on the technology and forgotten to focus on their behaviors," Dr. Jakicic said.
While we've found fitness trackers to be effective, they can be counterproductive for those who feel disappointed by their results and thereby give up altogether. If anything, this study serves as a reminder to be honest about the positive or negative effect trackers may have on your personal goals.
Get a Glimpse of How Madly in Love Joel Madden Is With Nicole Richie
Joel Madden may have once had a reputation of being a bad boy due to his tattooed rocker image, but nonetheless, he is a devoted husband to his wife, Nicole Richie, and an amazing father to their children, Harlow and Sparrow. Joel and Nicole have been married for nearly six years now, and from the looks of it, he is still crazy in love with her. The Good Charlotte frontman constantly pays tribute to Nicole on Instagram, whether it's by posting a selfie from their date night at a basketball game, sending her a loving Mother's Day message, or simply gushing over much he loves her. Take a look at their sweetest posts, proving Joel is definitely a keeper.

Anthony Bourdain Is Ready For the Pumpkin Spice Trend to End
We're LIVE on @Reddit for an AMA with the host of #RawCraft, @Bourdain. Ask him anything: https://t.co/pw4D5M0Ned http://pic.twitter.com/mvPBTgBKk8
- The Balvenie US (@BalvenieUS) September 20, 2016
Anthony Bourdain is a chef, actor, author, and undeniably a "food god," but he is not here for the pumpkin spice trend. In a recent Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything), the 60-year-old culinary connoisseur was asked what food trend he'd like to see die quickly, and his response was nothing short of hilarious. He confessed that he'd "like to see the pumpkin spice craze drowned in its own blood."
HA. His feelings are totally understandable given the fact that pumpkin spice season essentially started in July this year, and it's not slowing down any time soon. Sorry, Bourdain!
Catch up on his other responses to the full AMA here, and then read these fascinating facts that will make you love Anthony Bourdain even more.
Forget Being a Tall Glass of Water, Colin Firth Is Our Cup of Tea
There are plenty of lovable English actors in Hollywood, but there's just something about Colin Firth that makes him extra dreamy. The 56-year-old first stole our hearts when he played Mr. Darcy in the BBC series Pride and Prejudice, and our obsession only intensified when he starred in movies like Bridget Jones's Diary, Love Actually, and Mamma Mia!. Aside from being a critically acclaimed actor, Colin is also a devoted husband. He's been married to his wife, Livia Giuggioli, since 1997, and together they have two sons, Luca, 15, and Matteo, 13. Colin is also father to son Will, 26, with ex Meg Tilly. If you can't get enough of him as his beloved character Mr. Darcy in Bridget Jones's Baby, look back at his best moments over the years.

Jenna Lyons Just Revealed Her Favorite Piece From J.Crew's Spring Collection
Who better to debut our favorite Spring 2017 pieces than the designers themselves? That's exactly what happened when Rosie Assoulin and J.Crew's Jenna Lyons hit up the Fall ballet gala in New York City on Tuesday night. Both women, who recently debuted their new lines at New York Fashion Week, showed us exactly how it's done.
Jenna chose the khaki-colored ruffled wrap skirt that had everyone talking, pairing it with a matching blouse that she left unbuttoned. Meanwhile, Rosie's rainbow striped shirt dress might have been the most popular look to Instagram from her presentation.
While there were plenty of other stars on the red carpet, like Sarah Jessica Parker and Diane Kruger, the fashion girl in us was particularly excited to see how two very iconic designers forecast the season ahead. Read on to see why we can't wait to style these standout pieces just like Jenna and Rosie did, and check out the original outfits on the models.
America Ferrera Just Revealed What's Special About Her Superstore Character, Amy
Mere days after a jaw-dropping appearance at the Emmys, America Ferrera traded her glitzy red carpet dress for a fiery red number on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. The Superstore actress, who just completed her first triathlon, opened up to the show's host about her recent physical feats and what her role on the hit NBC show means to her as a Latina actress.
"It was the first time I was asked to do a role that wasn't specifically for a Latina," she told Stephen. "Every other role that I had been offered had been specified . . . this was the first time I read a script that said, 'Amy, 30, no ethnicity.' And that seems like not that big of a deal, but in television and film, if ethnicity isn't specified, then the assumption - and the default, in most cases - is white. And you have to give a reason for that role to be something other than that."
Press play above to watch her elaborate even more on the groundbreaking part the writers played in casting such a diverse group of actors. Then, remember that amazing time she and Eva Longoria called out Hollywood's lack of diversity at the 2015 Golden Globe Awards.
Enraged Cafeteria Worker Quits After Being Forced to Take Away Hot Lunch From Students
Cafeteria worker Stacy Koltiska was so enraged by her Pennsylvania elementary school's lunch policy that she resigned. She was forced to take a hot lunch away from a first grade student because he had an outstanding balance of more than $25 in his lunch account, so now she is using her voice to spread her story through a viral Facebook post.
"This year Canon Mac implemented a new Rule 808.1. This rule states that any child who has a balance of $25 or more will not receive a lunch if they are in Grades 7 through 12. State law requires that children K through 6 must be given a lunch. In Rule 808.1 it says that children in K through 6 will be provided a "Sandwich." What you don't know is that they are being given One Piece of Cheese on Bread. This isn't even being toasted. Yet they are still being charged the FULL PRICE of a HOT LUNCH that is being DENIED to them."
Koltiska was completely disgusted by her school's policy, and after two incidents of having to take hot lunch away from students, she decided to resign.
"The first week of school on Friday, I had to take a little first grade boy's chicken and give him this "cheese sandwich." I will never forget the look on his face and then his eyes welled up with tears. I was going to resign on Monday but my mother passed away on Sunday so I forgot about it until yesterday when it happened again. I had the same sick feeling so today I resigned. What makes this even MORE SICKENING is that we throw so much food away EVERYDAY. So Our Children are being served cheese, being charged and denied the hot food that we then throw away."
Koltiska has parents and fellow district members riled up, and she is doing whatever it takes to spread her message. What would you do if your child had his or her lunch taken away like the students in this Pennsylvania school?
Fuller House Season 2 Just Got a Premiere Date, and It's Closer Than You Think
The Tanner family is back! Netflix has announced the premiere date for Fuller House season two: Dec. 9.

Princess Maria-Olympia Matching Her Royal Pup Will Make Your Whole Doggone Day
Princess Maria-Olympia may be a fashion-forward royal with a blogger-like feed, but the girl still knows how to kick back and get casual. The style star was spotted out in New York on Tuesday, wearing a simple outfit that consisted of distressed jeans and black booties, which she then topped off with a solid cami - aka the most basic staple of them all.
Yet while her easy, early-Fall ensemble caught our eye, it was the fact that the look matched Maria-Olympia's dog's leash that truly made our day. The accessory's green trim paired perfectly with her olive top, and the pup looked quite thrilled to be coordinating with their owner.
Scroll through for more pics of the princess and her pet, then shop the pieces you need to nail this casual and royal-approved outfit.
After Her Husband and Son Were Tragically Killed, This Woman Wants You to See What Drunk Driving Can Do
Kristian Guerrero's story is the type that makes you instantly well up with tears, hug your babies tight, and ask yourself, "Why did this have to happen?" The short answer in Kristian's case, is that someone decided they were OK to drive after drinking, and now the grieving wife and mother is paying the price for that person's thoughtless act.
On Aug. 2, Kristian, who was five months pregnant with a little boy, was driving with her husband, Fabian, when they were struck head on by a drunk driver. Fabian and the couple's unborn son were both killed, and after 24 hours of an induced labor, Kristian was finally able to hold her baby boy. She shared a raw photo of this heart-wrenching moment to Facebook alongside a photo of the crash and a post urging readers to never drink and drive.
This is what being in an induced labor for almost 24 hrs after surviving a car crash that killed my husband and my son looks like. All because someone thought it was OK to get wasted and drive. It's not OK.
It IS OK to stop a friend from driving, it IS OK to take someone's keys away from them when they're showing signs of being drunk. And it IS OK to pick up the phone and call for a ride if you find yourself feeling a little too tipsy. It's not a sign of weakness. It's a sign of maturity to be honest with yourself and know the consequences of driving drunk outweigh any kind of shame you might feel admitting you're too drunk to drive. What's not OK is spending the rest of your life with the guilt of knowing you've taken someone's life away before they even got a chance to be in this world. It's not worth it. Don't drink and drive.
Kristian believes she survived the crash for a reason and through her grief is using her story to help others. "I will continue to spread awareness and share this story until the day I die in hopes it prevents anyone else from feeling the pain I walk around with every day," she wrote.

Arrested Development: Jeffrey Tambor Just Confirmed Season 5!
Arrested Development fans are used to uncertainty. The show was constantly on the chopping block, finally canceled after season three in 2006, revived by Netflix for a fourth season, then everyone seemed to be confused about if a fifth season would happen. At one point, a movie was supposedly in the works. On Wednesday, patriarch of the Bluth family Jeffrey Tabor (maybe accidentally) revealed on the Today show that his production schedule for season five begins in January: "There's always chatter," he said. "My marching orders are to go to work [in] January." It's happening, people!
Michael Strahan Is Disappointed That He Was "Painted as the Bad Guy" in the Kelly Ripa Feud
It's been a few months since Michael Strahan and Kelly Ripa's feud rocked the Live! set, but the Good Morning America cohost is giving his side of the story in the latest issue of People. After "blindsiding" his costar with his sudden exit from the show, the 44-year-old opened up about his unfair portrayal in the media. "The most disappointing thing to me was that I was painted as the bad guy, because I value the way I carry myself," he told the magazine. "I don't want people to see me as 'Oh, he just ran out, just left them there.' That's just not true."
Following Michael's announcement, Kelly decided to take a few days off, but their working relationship wasn't exactly easy upon her return. "I wasn't surprised by her reaction at all, but I can't control somebody else's actions," he said. "I was there four years, and it's about more than just being in front of the camera." As far as their friendship goes, Michael admits he isn't really sure where they stand. "At one point I think we were friends. I don't know what happened at the end. I learned a lot from her, though."

How Breastfeeding Literally Saved This Suicidal Mom's Life
Breastfeeding has countless benefits, but for one mom who suffered from intense postpartum depression, it served a vitally important role not often listed as a positive side effect.
It, quite literally, saved her life.
"When my son was two months old, I got severely ill with postpartum depression – so bad that I had a suicide plan and for 10 months straight I had to make the choice to live another day," a woman wrote in a revealing Facebook post on the popular Breastfeeding Mama Talk page. "My son is breastfed and no matter how hard I tried he would refuse to drink from a bottle. So each day I had to choose life just so that my son could be fed."
Fast-forward almost a year, and both mom and baby are healthy.
"Now he is 13 months old . . . still breastfeeding," she said. "I am recovered from the postpartum depression and so grateful for my life now. I know that if my son would have taken a bottle, I would be dead now. I truly believe that breastfeeding my son is the reason I am alive today."
This Is Us: What the Rest of the Show Will Look Like After That Big Twist
We've been excited about This Is Us ever since the trailer was released and we preemptively cried about all the characters we'd barely met. The show premiered on Tuesday night, and lest you think it's a show about a bunch of random people with the same birthdays, you'd be wrong. A game-changing twist comes at the end, revealing that Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca (Mandy Moore)'s storyline is happening in 1980s. Surprise! They're the biological parents of twins Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Kevin (Justin Hartley) and the adoptive parents of Randall (Sterling K. Brown), who we're seeing in the modern day. It's pretty shocking stuff, and it's going to make a big impact on how the rest of the season will play out. Here's what we know about the upcoming episodes:
- There's a major time-jump in the second episode. While the pilot takes place in 1980 and 2016, episode two starts in 1988, when the kids are eight years old. Then episode three jumps back to 1980, on the day Jack and Rebecca bring home their kids. According to creator Dan Fogelman, the parents won't look remarkably different: "In terms of aging Milo and Mandy, it's really subtle stuff when you really analyze it. It's not like from 36 to 42 years old we become unrecognizably different people. Our hairstyles change, we age a little bit."
- We'll still be seeing a lot in the modern day. Fogelman confirmed that we'll still be getting plenty of the 2016 storylines: "The structure of the show is very similar in the coming weeks in that it's interconnected stories. We have four main stories as our main storylines. We'll be cutting back and forth between those the same way that we do in the pilot."
- You should keep the tissues handy. If you were a mess after the first episode, you may want to reevaluate watching this show. Fogelman also spoke about how the goal of the show is "the good cry . . . Our show has characters that are flawed and who do stupid things but they mean well and they're trying to be better at the end of the day. That's maybe an experience we can all relate to. That's the human experience. We step in it over and over again but we keep trying to do better the next day and that's where the emotion will come from."
