This Is Us Season 6 Spoilers: Why Kate Rumors Linked To Chrissy Metz Are Soaring!

This Is Us spoilers have kept us entertained the past five seasons.  Usually, these sneak peeks come from producers, writers, or even the This Is Us cast themselves. 

For example, Chris Sullivan (who plays Toby) recently gave us a deep dive into his feelings on the final season of This Is Us. 

But recently, spoilers connected to Chrissy Metz’s character Kate have come from the viewers themselves. 

Which season 6 rumors might turn out to be true? And what spoiler predictions could lead us down the wrong This Is Us sneak peek path? 

As we await the final episodes of This is Us, find out WHY so many viewers are speculating about the link between Chrissy and her character Kate!

This Is Us Season 6 Spoilers – How Chrissy Metz Impacts Kate Pearon’s This Is Us Weight Loss Storyline

When This Is Us began, viewers learned that Kate Pearson (Chrissy Metz) struggled with her weight.

As a result of that story line, we saw Kate try all types of methods to shed the pounds. From weight loss surgery evaluations to so-called “fat camp,” this character repeatedly tried and failed.

And in real life, Chrissy has talked candidly about Kate’s weight loss trajectory. After initially claiming that her contract required her to shed pounds, Metz subsequently backtracked. She clarified that producers do NOT demand that she lose weight so that Kate’s story can get a happily-ever-after-skinny-girl ending. 

But Chrissy’s lack of weight loss also means that This Is Us writers must find a way to show Kate achieving some sort of change by the end of season 6. 

This Is Us has revealed that Kate’s brother Randall (Sterling K. Brown), for example, found healing in his ongoing quest for answers about his adoption. And in the same way, Kate’s twin Kevin (Justin Hartley) has grown both professionally and personally. 

Where does that leave Kate?

As a result of those searches, This Is Us fans are sparking spoiler rumors about the potential future of Kate in the final season of This Is Us. 

The three main sneak-peek speculations that involve Chrissy Metz’s Kate include:

• Could Metz be wearing a fat suit? This theory speculates that Metz actually HAS lost weight. But to hide her success from This Is Us fans, Chrissy would wait to do the big reveal as Kate’s final act on the show. 
• Will Chrissy go for weight-loss surgery in the early part of This Is Us’ final season? That decision also could show Kate has achieved her goals. 
• Is it possible that Metz could be replaced by the actress who plays Kate as a teenager? That scenario would involve the talented Hannah Zeile wearing both clothes and cosmetics to resemble a slimmer Chrissy Metz. 

What we do know: Season 6 of This Is Us will feature 18 episodes. That opens the door to using any of the scenarios!
