First Look: THIS IS US (NBC)

NBC's new show This is Us follows a unique ensemble, some of whom share the same birthday, as their paths cross and lives intertwine.

Sometimes life will surprise you. Starring Mandy Moore ("A Walk to Remember") and Milo Ventimiglia ("Heroes," "Gilmore Girls"), this refreshingly honest and provocative series follows a unique ensemble. And as their paths cross and their life stories intertwine in curious ways, we find that several of them share the same birthday - and so much more than anyone would expect. From the writer and directors of Crazy, Stupid, Love comes a smart, modern dramedy that will challenge your everyday presumptions about the people you think you know.
