'This Is Us' to Bring Back Ron Cephas Jones in Season 2 After That Emotional Road Trip
TV

Despite his character William Hill's tragic fate in the latest episode of the NBC hit, Jones will be back in season 2, says the actor himself.

AceShowbiz - Ron Cephas Jones is still part of "This Is Us" big family after that emotional twist in the latest episode that aired Tuesday night, February 21. In an interview released after the episode aired, the actor reveals that he will be back in season 2 of the NBC hit series.

Jones' William Hill, the biological father of Randall (Sterling K. Brown), reconnected with his son during a road trip to Memphis to learn about William's past. In flashbacks, we also saw William's terrible past that led him to addiction and abandon Randall at a fire station 36 years ago. The next day, William who had been battling stage 4 stomach cancer died in the hospital.

But according to the actor, it wouldn't be the last time we saw William. Asked by EW what the first thing that came across his head when he read the script, Jones shares, " 'Is there a way for him to still be in the story, in season 2, after we found that out?' As an actor, that was the first thing that I was thinking and hoping and praying for, which ended up being the case. Then it was the matter of, again, not knowing how or when or what, but I do know that he's going to carry over into season 2 in some way, just as well as Jack was in all of season 1."

He adds, "The whole story was there; it's just the way they're doing their writing. It's so beautiful and interesting, and it leaves it open for so many possibilities." Claiming that he has no idea what executive producer Dan Fogelman plans for the next season, he says, "But at this point, I'm just totally satisfied at the moment with knowing that the character's going to be back for season 2, so I still don't know what capacity, how many episodes, things like that, so we just have to wait a little longer before I can even get close to answering that question."

He goes on gushing about the possible scenarios, "I have all the scenarios that all the fans have, or you might imagine. It could go so many different ways. There's a chunk of his life that we haven't explored. There's those moments where Randall has dreams. There are moments where they just do raw flashbacks to build story. ... But I imagine and I'm sure it's going to be more of that and even better, so I'm excited about it. Very excited about it."

Since the show features a lot of flashbacks, it's certainly possible to bring back Jones.

"This Is Us", starring Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia among others, returns with a new episode on Tuesday, March 7 at 9 P.M. ET on NBC.
