'This is Us' marathon to air on Jan. 7

NEW YORK, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- All 10 episodes of the critically acclaimed, freshman drama This is Us will air as a marathon on USA, Bravo and E! on Jan. 7.

The programming bloc is intended to allow viewers to catch up before new episodes resume broadcast on NBC on Jan. 10.

Starring Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz and Justin Hartley, the show follows the lives of fraternal twins Kate and Kevin -- along with their adopted brother Randall -- who was born not only on the same day they were, but also on the day their father turned 36.

The series debuted in September.
