A New Chapter Begins | "Strangers" (401) with special guest Blake Stadnik

We made it to Season 4! On today’s episode of That Was Us, we’re talking all about Season 4, Episode 1: Strangers.

This episode weaves together the stories of three new characters: Cassidy, a soldier returning home from Afghanistan; Malik, a teenage father finding his way; and Jack Damon, Kate and Toby’s son, a blind musician whose life is filled with unexpected love. Mandy, Chris, and Sterling talk about how the Pearsons’ past and future intersect, and as Rebecca puts it, they discover how strangers can become the most important parts of our stories.

That Was Us is produced by Rabbit Grin Productions. Music by Taylor Goldsmith and Griffin Goldsmith.
