Season 1 already established the fact that Jack is dead in the present timeline. However, fans have yet to see when and how he passed away. The character's death is one of the biggest mysteries on the show and it is expected to be resolved in the upcoming season. While viewers are excited to know the truth, Ventimiglia is not too interested in being the focus of most fans.
"I always tell people focus more on the way the man lived than how he died," he told E! News during this year's ATX TV Festival in Austin, Texas. "I think — look, go back and watch the episodes. Don't just watch them for Jack, watch them for every character and understand, let's say what the adversity is and the challengers are and how they're met with bravery."
The second season of "This Is Us" premieres Tuesday, Sept. 26 at 9 p.m. EDT on NBC.
