NBC Debuts First Teaser For Believe

We’ve got our first look at the new mid-season drama from Alfonso Cuarón and Mark Friedman.

At last week’s San Diego Comic-Con fans at the Revolution panel were treated to this first look at Believe, the upcoming genre project starring Jake McLaughlin and Johnny Sequoyah. The show follows an extraordinary young girl who is being hunted for what she can do, and the convict sprung from prison in order to keep her safe.

Here’s how the network describes the show:

Levitation, telekinesis, the ability to control nature, even predict the future … Since she was two years old, Bo has had gifts she could neither fully understand, nor control. Raised by a small group known as the “True Believers,” the orphaned girl has been safeguarded from harmful outsiders who would use her forces for personal gain. But now that she is 10, her powers have become stronger, and the threat has grown more dangerous.

With her life and future now in jeopardy, the “Believers” turn to the only person they see fit to be her full-time protector. That is, once they break him out of jail. Tate, a wrongfully imprisoned death row inmate who’s lost his will, is initially reluctant — until he witnesses one of her extraordinary abilities. Bo sees people for who they truly are … and who they may become. Tate and Bo begin their journey, one in which trust must be earned.

Traveling from city to city, every place they stop and everyone they meet will be changed forever. But they’ll have to keep going to stay one step ahead of the sinister forces after Bo’s power … because it will take a miracle to keep them safe forever. The powers of a young girl may hold the fate of our world.

Creators Cuarón and Friedman executive produce along with Bad Robot’s J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk.

Believe is set to premiere on NBC early in 2014. Stay with SciFi Stream for the latest!
