You know we like our TV shows with people who have powers or extra abilities. It’s a big reason why we’re hoping The Tomorrow People lands on The CW schedule, after all.
NBC has sent out a photo and synopsis for their new show Believe, which was just picked up for a spot on the Fall 2013 schedule. The description tells us a little bit more about the project, which in turn also makes us a bit more excited about it all, as it seems that the powers aren’t just something that develop in the future. Here’s the write-up:
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 in Believe, from executive producer J.J. Abrams (Revolution, Star Trek: Into Darkness) and executive producer/writer/director Alfonso Cuarón (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Children of Men).
What do you think? Will you watch? Will you Believe? Leave some comments below, and hopefully some more pics and details will come next week as NBC announces their schedule on Monday!
