NBC is no stranger to putting on emotional, twist-y shows (see: THIS IS US), and THE VILLAGE falls right in that lane.

Per NBC, THE VILLAGE is “an apartment building in Brooklyn that appears like any other from the outside but is quite unique inside. The people who reside here have built a bonded family of friends and neighbors. Sarah’s a nurse and single mom raising a creative teen; Gabe’s a young law student who got a much older and unexpected roommate; Ava must secure the future of her young, U.S.-born son when ICE comes knocking; Nick’s a veteran who’s returned from war; and the heart and soul of the building, Ron and Patricia, have captivating tales all their own.”

The characters are intertwined, some more obviously than the others, and there are a handful of twists in the first few episodes that should set up interesting drama in the first season. And the actors were equally as hooked: though they knew the broad strokes of the season, Warren Christie (who plays Nick) and Michaela McManus (who plays Sarah) said it was special when the cast came together to do their table read and the pieces fell into place.
