In the pilot, a girl named Bo has some special powers which will come to fruition in about seven years, and a man is sprung from prison to protect her from some people who are hunting her down.
Now, Deadline has revealed that the protector role has been filled, with Jake McLaughlin taking the role. McLaughlin’s previous credits include the Crash TV series as well as small roles in multiple Abrams productions. The next thing we’ll have to know, of course, is who is playing the girl… news that should probably come fairly soon.
