After completing negotiations for a deal on the phone, Jon goes out onto the balcony of his office, leaves his phone and an envelope on the table, and calmly steps over the edge to his death. Meanwhile, Gary is at the doctor's for a check-up to see if his breast cancer is still in remission. When Eddie gets the call, he is packing a suitcase and about to leave his workaholic wife Katherine for his lover. Rome has just stuffed a handful of pills in his mouth when he gets the call and spits them out. Gary brings Maggie from his cancer support group to the funeral and wake, where she gets on well with Delilah and Regina. The four men met when trapped in an elevator, and since they were all Boston Bruins fans, Jon bought them season tickets every year. They go to the next game together to honor Jon and try to figure out why he did it. Rome admits he has been depressed and the others insist he get help. Jon's final deal was a subsidized lease for Regina so that she can open a restaurant, instead of catering from her kitchen. Delilah is worried that Jon killed himself because of her affair with Eddie and ends it.

So, Delilah returns to the woman she and Gary visited before and learns that she is Barbara. Barbara shows Delilah the video Jon made and tells her that she dated Jon's roommate Dave. She tells Delilah that 17 years ago, Jon and Dave bought tickets to a flight leaving Logan International Airport on September 11, 2001, but Jon missed the flight, which was one of two that took down the World Trade Center towers. Jon had survivor's guilt and stopped talking to Barbara after learning she was pregnant. Delilah flashed back to when she met Jon in the airport moments later. When Delilah tells her friends the story, Maggie says that it was likely the totality of Jon’s issues – including his financial problems and grief over Dave – that led him to end his life. Later, Maggie learns she is cancer-free, which prompts tears of joy from Gary and laughter from Maggie. After helping Maggie move into his home, Gary visits Jon’s grave for the proper goodbye the two friends never got.

Regina spends some time at the restaurant learning recipes from Walter's girlfriend Florence, only to have her mother butt in. Regina accuses her mother of using the wrong ingredient and ruining a dish only to realize it was herself who made the error, leading to her worrying that the recent fall she had is affecting her memory. Katherine and Eddie try to figure out how and when to tell Theo about their pending divorce, only to have Darcy's son blab the information while playing with Theo. After Maggie picks up her spirits some, Sophie goes to MMI to tell the dean of admissions why she shut down her recent audition. While there, Sophie sees a photo of a cello prodigy on the wall, and learns from the dean that the girl was accepted but committed suicide.

Convinced that Katherine won't let him have unsupervised visits with Theo, Eddie looks into a wheelchair-accessible place and accepts Gary's offer to have a friend convert his vehicle for hand controls. However, Katherine tells Eddie it's not his disability that worries her, it's his addiction. Haunted by learning that Layla Gregory had committed suicide, Sophie visits the girl's parents. They are at first dismissive as they deal with grief, but the father later visits Sophie with evidence that her suspicions about Peter may have merit. At her mother's prodding, Regina gets a cat scan done to try and deal with her concussion and short-term memory loss, but the scan finds nothing. Elsewhere, Rome helps Tyrell make a video that explores the impact of systemic racism, but the project takes a turn they didn't expect.

Having lost her father to suicide and now dealing with Layla killing herself, Sophie visits Rome to ask what prompted him to consider ending his life. Rome's frank answer and conversation about waking up with a purpose convinces Sophie that she needs to go to the police about what Peter did to make sure he can't hurt anyone else. Regina learns that her restaurant relief funds could take months, meaning she has no income. This prompts Rome to consider directing a soda commercial that he finds offensive, until Regina convinces him otherwise. Katherine gets upset when Alan is texting someone during their picnic date, having learned that he is on a dating site, but it turns out Alan was setting up a romantic gesture. Katherine realizes she has trust issues from her time with Eddie, and asks Alan to put their relationship on pause. Alan counters that he doesn't want to wait. Eddie spends a day with Theo, with Gary supervising. Gary is later taken aback when Darcy says her ex-husband is moving across the state to Lenox and they agreed that they'd stay geographically close for the sake of Liam. Gary says how much his friend needs him right now, causing Darcy to remark that she wishes he'd treat her as well as he treats his friends.

Danny, Sophie and Gary all confront Delilah about taking her family to France, calling it selfish.

She later breaks down after smashing a photo of Jon, and Danny comforts her. Eddie decides not to use Theo's injury against Katherine, but proposes a deal: he can have unsupervised visits with Theo provided he takes a weekly drug test. Tyrell learns the true reason why his mother was caught by immigration, and feels guilty for it. Regina tearfully shuts down her restaurant, but gets some perspective when a regular carry-out customer comes in and says his wife died from COVID-19. Sophie decides to tell her story on Maggie's podcast, and mentions Peter by name. Gary stops by his father's place, asking him to provide an alibi and say Gary was there all night. Gary then heads to Peter's house, where he covers Peter's head with a cloth bag and drags him inside.

It's an optimistic look at how the loss of a friend is the impetus for the other seven to finally start living, to make a promise to him and to themselves to finally be honest about what's really going on,... I know in my own life, my friend's passing is a constant reminder to keep things in perspective.
—Creator D.J. Nash, on the underlying themes of the series.[102]
On August 18, 2017, ABC landed a series titled A Million Little Things with a put pilot commitment, to be written by DJ Nash, who would serve as executive producer alongside Aaron Kaplan and Dana Honor. The series was described as "being in the tone of The Big Chill," with the title stemming from the popular adage, "Friendship isn't a big thing – it's a million little things."[102] Nash came up with the idea for the series following his single-camera comedy pilot Losing It. He said that "Sometimes in comedy, you have to apologize for adding drama, which is why I was so thrilled to see ABC's passion for a drama that has comedy".[102] ABC officially ordered the series to pilot in January 2018,[103] and the show was officially picked up to series on May 9, 2018.[18] The series is produced by ABC Studios and Kapital Entertainment.[18] In October 2018, the show was picked for a full season of 17 episodes.[104] On February 5, 2019, during the TCA press tour, A Million Little Things was renewed for a second season.[105][106][107] On August 8, 2019, it was announced that ABC had ordered a full season for the second season.[108] On May 21, 2020, ABC renewed the series for a third season which premiered on November 19, 2020.[109][110] At the PaleyFest New York panel, Nash announced that the COVID-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement will be part of the storylines for the third season.[111] On May 14, 2021, ABC renewed the series for a fourth season which will consists of 20 episodes.[1][112] The fourth season premiered on September 22, 2021.[2] On May 13, 2022, ABC renewed the series for a fifth season.[3]
On February 6, 2018, David Giuntoli was cast as Eddie.[4] A week later, Romany Malco was cast as Rome.[5] By the end of the month, Christina Ochoa had joined the cast as Ashley,[8] along with Anne Son as Katherine,[113] Christina Moses as Regina Howard,[7] and James Roday Rodriguez as Gary.[11] In early March 2018, Stéphanie Szostak was cast as Delilah,[13] while Lizzy Greene was cast as Sophie Dixon.[16] That month, it was also revealed that Ron Livingston had joined the series in an unspecified role,[14] which was revealed with the series order in May to be the character Jon.[18] On June 27, 2018, Grace Park was cast as Katherine, replacing Anne Son who was in the original pilot.[9][10]
Production on the pilot took place from March 12 to 29, 2018,[114]inVancouver, British Columbia.[115] Principal photography for the first season began on July 24, 2018, and concluded on February 4, 2019.[116] Filming for the second season began on June 19, 2019, and ended on February 19, 2020.[117] Filming for the third season began on August 27, 2020, and ended on May 12, 2021.[118] Production on the fourth season began on July 27, 2021, and concluded on April 13, 2022.[119]
The soundtrack for the first season was released digitally on March 1, 2019, by Hollywood Records.[120]
The series premiered on September 26, 2018, on ABC in the United States.[121] In Canada, the series aired on Citytv for the first three seasons before moving to the W Network.[122] In Turkey, the series broadcast through pay broadcaster Digiturk.[123] The second season premiered on September 26, 2019.[107]
The first season was released on DVD in Region 1 on August 27, 2019.[124]
On review aggregation Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds an approval rating of 53% with an average rating of 6.34/10, based on 32 reviews. The website's critical consensus reads, "Despite a decent ensemble and a few intriguing elements, A MillIon Little Things breaks under the weight of its own emotionally lofty ambitions."[125] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the series a score of 51 out of 100 based on 18 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews."[126]
