Sofia Pernas recently opened up about her experience with husband Justin Hartley's hit show, This Is Us, during an interview with PEOPLE. Pernas, 34, confessed that she found the emotional depth of the show overwhelming, stating that she struggled to binge-watch it due to its intense storyline and powerful performances by the cast.
Reflecting on Hartley's role as Kevin Pearson on the six-season series, Pernas admitted that the emotional impact of the show was too much for her to handle. She praised creator Dan Fogelman and the talented cast for their ability to tug at viewers' heartstrings with their compelling storytelling.
Following Hartley's departure from This Is Us, he has taken on a new role as Colter Shaw in the CBS drama Tracker. Pernas will be making a guest appearance on the show as Billie, a character who will clash with Shaw in the upcoming episode.
Despite the emotional toll of This Is Us, Pernas expressed her joy at working alongside her husband once again, highlighting their strong bond both on and off-screen. The couple's chemistry dates back to their time as co-stars on The Young and the Restless, where they first met in 2015.
Describing Hartley as her best friend, Pernas emphasized their compatibility and shared interests, noting that their relationship felt like a perfect match from the beginning. The couple's mutual admiration and respect for each other have allowed them to seamlessly transition between their personal and professional lives.
Tracker airs on CBS on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET, offering viewers a chance to see Hartley in his new role as Colter Shaw and catch Pernas in her guest appearance as Billie.
