'This Is Us' Season 2 News & Update: Mandy Moore Not Reprising Role In Sequel? Show May Be Too Heavy For 'Tangled' Star

Mandy Moore was previously known as that sweet, young, blonde teenager who sang the 1999's "Candy" at 15 years old. Fast forward to 2017 and the "Tangled" actress is now part of NBC's hit television series "This Is Us" with Milo Ventimiglia, Justin Hartley and Chrissy Metz to name a few. The show has definitely made a huge impact in the star's acting career, but is the provocative ensemble drama too much for her to handle?

Speaking to Parade, Mandy Moore revealed the emotional roller-coaster that she went through while doing "This Is Us." The 32-year-old singer, songwriter, and actress shared the impact that theNBC show had on her.

"I think it has stirred up a lot for me, just thinking what’s been happening in my life and the progression of the last couple of months," Moore told the site. "I feel like my world has been flipped upside down in the best way possible." The "A Walk To Remember" star then went on to say that she feels more like an actress now even though she first launched her career as a pop star.

While her former biggest rivals, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera have stuck to their roots and maintained their music careers, Mandy Moore chose to broaden her options and found success in movies and television shows. Although there were a lot of heavy scenes in "This Is Us" that would be too much for other actor's to handle, Mandy Moore felt that it was more than a blessing than a burden to be given this chance.

"This Is Us" season 2 has already been picked up by NBC on September 2016 for 18 episodes. Early this year, the television broadcasting company also renewed the show's third installment for 18 more episodes. Although the sequel is officially happening, "This Is Us" season 2 air date has yet to be announced.
