Fans were understandably confused by the news, especially since the network didn’t provide an explanation. This prompted Mandy Moore (Rebecca Pearson) to break it down in a series of candid videos on her Instagram Story.

The actress went on to explain why the show is taking an unexpected hiatus, adding, “I’ve seen online that folks were a bit bummed out about that—I appreciate that, we all appreciate that you’re bummed out. But we just started production back, and it has been such a break-neck pace.”

She continued, “I believe I saw on Twitter tonight that [series creator Dan Fogelman] said our post team literally just locked in tonight’s episode last night. So, we have to get caught up. We are literally in the middle of filming, almost at the end of filming, the fifth episode, which would be airing next week. So, we need to catch up. So, we’ll see you in January.”

Fine.*Pouts in corner*
