Is Sophia Bush Going To Return To ‘This Is Us’?

If there’s one thing This Is Us fans have learned, it’s to avoid attachment to any character on the show. So, should viewers expect to see Lizzie, played by Sophia Bush who won Kevin’s (Justin Hartley) heart and broke it in just one episode – again? That’s complicated to answer.

It’s Not Just Fans Who Loved Sophia Bush On The Show

“We’re huge Sophia Bush fans, ” co-showrunner Isaac Aptaker said in an interview on Tuesday, January 21st. “Read into that as you will.”

However, Bush, 37, seemed to confirm Lizzie’s appearance on the show was a one-time thing. But, she is working on another project with the This Is Us team, a TV adaptation of Love Simon. 

Sophia shared more about Lizzie’s future, she said it was just for a moment. She knew fans were upset about her leaving, she even felt bad about it. But the producers had asked her to come and sort of play a trick on the viewers. Everyone had assumed she’d be there longer, but they did have fun.

With that being said, the role would be an easy one to come back to, if it was called for. Sophia continued discussing her experience on the show. She mentioned she’d known many of those on the show since she started acting, it felt like a reunion. The producers of This Is Us are working with Bush on Love Simon, and they shoot right next door so they all see each other nearly daily.
