Variety – NBC Orders Dramedy ‘This is Us’

NBC has greenlit “This Is Us,” an ensemble dramedy from Dan Fogelman, Variety has learned.

Starring Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia and Sterling K. Brown, the show follows a unique ensemble whose paths cross and their life stories intertwine in curious ways. Described as “refreshingly honest and provocative,” “This Is Us” centers around a group, several of which share the same birthday, and so much more than anyone would expect.

Justin Hartley, Chrissy Metz, Susan Kelechi Watson, Chris Sullivan and Ron Cephas Jones round out the cast.
