Brown addressed the season 4 finale cliffhanger where his character Randall and his brother Kevin (Justin Harley), after having a sibling spat, were sharing a special moment with their mother Rebecca (Mandy Moore) in a flashforward. Brown painted broad strokes as to what to expect from the relationships between the brothers.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The relationship has been complicated from the beginning,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;They will continue like a yo-yo &mdash; will come apart and together, apart and together. I think by the time we reach that point in the future, there are other things on their minds that they are able to focus on to put aside whatever differences they have. But for the next two or however many seasons we&rsquo;re around, I think you&rsquo;ll continue to see these brothers fray and then resolve, fray and resolve.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-twitter\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2020\/08\/this-is-us-dan-fogelman-coronavirus-covid-19-nbc-1203014967\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/deadline.com\/2020\/08\/this-is-us-dan-fogelman-coronavirus-covid-19-nbc-1203014967\/<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Dino-Ray Ramos<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Dino-Ray Ramos<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/4218-logo.png\" alt=\"\">During Deadline Contenders, a viewer tweeted a list of questions in regards to the upcoming season of&nbsp;This Is Us.
