NBC’s ‘The Village’ Series Premiere: Here’s How You Know The Cast

Another emotional drama’s joining the NBC lineup with the premiere of “The Village” Tuesday night.

“[The show] follows an incredible group of people dwelling in the same Brooklyn apartment building,” according to the synopsis. “While these characters are not related by blood, they have become an unlikely family. As each resident grapples with their own personal struggle, their neighbors come together to support them and the show gives true meaning to the phrase ‘family is where you find it.’”

While the series is new, viewers will likely already know the cast of NBC’s “The Village.” Here’s where fans might’ve seen them all before:

Michaela McManus (Sarah)

McManus joined “One Tree Hill” in its fifth season, where she played Lindsey Strauss for close to 20 episodes. Later, she starred as Kim Greylek on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” Jules on “The Vampire Diaries,” Grace Kim on “Aquarius” and Alana Hayes on “SEAL Team.”

Jerod Haynes (Ben)

While Haynes’ role on “The Village” will be his first series regular gig, he had guest roles on shows like “Chicago Med,” “Crisis,” “Empire” and “Sense8.” He also played Tommy in the 2016 flick, “Southside with You.”

She starred as Rene Jackson on “Any Day Now” from 1998 to 2002, Kate Perry on “Saving Grace” from 2007 to 2010, Donna Rosewood on “Rosewood,” Dana Adams on “The Fosters,” Cressida on “Into the Badlands” and more.
