Ahead of This Is Us' series finale, the stars of NBC's beloved family drama have revealed what souvenirs they swiped from the set.

Now in its sixth and final season, the heartwarming show focuses on the Pearson family – parents Rebecca (Mandy Moore) and Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and their children – in different timelines.

In a recent chat with Entertainment Weekly, the cast admitted to having taken quite a few items off set as mementoes.

"Milo and I walked through the [Pearson] house and took some family pictures off the wall, which they were just going to throw away anyway," Moore said.

"I got my Steelers Jersey from the Super Bowl episode, my wedding ring, my moon necklace, and a couple other costumes. I did request my Puerto Rican wedding doll that was made earlier this season. Hopefully that's in the cards coming my way. I like the sentimental things."

As for Ventimiglia, he took a plastic-and-metal blue folding chair with This Is Us written on it "to honour the crew," and a pair of boots.

"I asked for a pair of boots that Jack wore that [I could use] if I ever shoot my Evel Knievel project," he said.

"They're basically Evel Knievel boots. I told [set decorator] Hala [Bahmet] that I would return them once the job was done, because they were her personals."

Susan Kelechi Watson, who plays Beth, took photographs of her character, Randall (Sterling K Brown) and their children, as well as a statuette she had her eyes on for a few seasons.

"This little statuette that looks like it's from Jamaica, I took that," she explained. "It's always in the kitchen. And since season 4, I've been eyeing it. So I was like, 'I'm going to take that.' And I did."

Meanwhile Chrissy Metz, who plays Kate, asked for her character and Toby's piano, much to her on-screen brother Justin Hartley (Kevin)'s surprise.

"But I didn't get a piano for God's sake. She got a piano? That's crazy," he said.

This Is Us airs its final episode on Tuesday, May 24 at 9/8c on NBC. Viewers in the UK can watch every Thursday via Amazon Prime Video or Disney+.
