The Village<\/em> isn’t like your typical dramas. The new NBC series follows an apartment full of New York citizens, who, over time, have become family.<\/p>\n

“It’s a heart-based show. It’s not a sentimental show by any stretch, but it is one that has great sentiment,” series star Lorraine Toussaint<\/strong> told E! News.<\/p>\n

Viewers will meet Nick (Warren Christie<\/strong>), a war veteran; Sarah (Michaela McManus<\/strong>), a nurse who works at a nursing home and is a single mother to a teenage girl; Patricia (Toussaint), the mama bear of the apartment building and a social worker, Enzo (Dominic Chianese<\/strong>) and his grandson and law student Gabe (Daren Kagasoff<\/strong>), Ava (Moran Aitas<\/strong>), an Iranian immigrant, and so many other residents of The Village apartment building.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Our show is very emotional. There’s some humor, it’s really a story about everyday struggles. I think no matter where you are, where you are in this country or where you come from, you’re going to find a story to relate to,” McManus said. “There are real-life stories about love and loss and heartbreak and joy\u2014”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I also love the fact that it spans generations. We have a teenager, we have all the way up to somebody in their 80s and covering all their stories\u2026We live in a bit of a fractured society right now with so many people who have become very individualistic, so to see a group of people who aren’t blood-related as Michaela said, but they’ve formed a community and a family trying to raise each other, trying to help each other, I think that’s what’s going to resonate with people,” Christie said.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
