BELIEVE
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 fi t 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). From Warner Bros. Television & Bad Robot Productions. Executive Producer/Writer: Mark Friedman. Executive Producer: Bryan Burk.

NBC cancels JJ Abrams "Believe"
It sounds like an excellent new series
That's debatable.
Bo is being played by an actress named Johnny Sequoyah
So this "Bo" is a boy then. Sorry, should have read a bit more of the article.
No, she's a girl
You don't wanna two heroines on television with the same name.
Just pilot, one season, two?
well I imagine the initial order will be for 13 episodes, whether it lasts beyond that will depend on the ratings.
That's not what I meant.
I was talking about JJ's involvement. He rarely runs his shows for very long, whether handing it over straight after the pilot's been picked up or after one or two seasons.
