WARNING: This article contains spoilers for The Village finale. Read at your own risk.
The Village finale is almost coming, and it would probably be an emotional one since this will be the last episode of the season. Currently, the future of the show remains unpredicted, so for now, here are some of the things to expect in the season finale, titled "I Have Got You."
According to the synopsis of The Village finale, the family will come together when times of need. There would be an unexpected event that would bring back Nick, Katie, and Sarah into each other's orbits. Patricia, on the other hand, is still dealing with her diagnosis, and it leads to an unexpected reconnection with Ron. Lastly, Enzo enlists Gabe so they would pull off a grand gesture, while Ben will be facing his future and past.
One of the questions here is whether the series will deliver a powerful cliffhanger or not. Right now, the future of the show remains unknown, though some are hoping it would be back for another season. NBC recently revealed the fall schedule at upfronts, but the network's unprecedented move left the fate of many of the programs hanging up in the air.
Also, midseason shows don't get a second life sometimes, so The Village should find its way to deliver a satisfying finale to make viewers wanting for more. Perhaps, NBC wants to see first the hype around the season finale, as there wouldn't be much hype if they will cancel the show before airing the final episode.
The future of The Village largely depends on how much NBC believes on the show, especially in generating growth. The program is reportedly averaging only a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic, but if it's airing on a Friday night, it would probably have the chance to generate more viewers.
Some speculated that if the number goes down, it is very likely there will be no second season. For viewers, the advice here is they should watch the show live and tell others also to do the same to help the show's ratings climb up.
Also, the greatest challenge for the writers here is finding a way not to be distracted with the unknown fate of the program, and instead, they should focus on what's more to tell to satisfy the viewers. That is one of the essential things in considering the future of the show, so writers need to live in the moment despite the distractions.
The Village finale will air on Tuesday, May 21, on NBC.
