Between Star Trek Into Darkness, Star Wars: Episode VII, and Gravity, J.J. Abrams and Alfonso Cuaron have been busy little bees in recent days. While a workload like that might crush mere mortals such as ourselves, that didn?t stop the two from teaming up to produce a new pilot for a series called Believe. With a creative team like this pushing it forward, it should come as no surprise that NBC picked up the show for the upcoming fall season. Check out the first picture from the series up above.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the cast of Believe includes Jake McLaughlin (Warrior), Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks), Delroy Lindo (Romeo Must Die), Sienna Guillory (Resident Evil: Retribution), Jamie Chung (Sucker Punch), Arian Moayad (The Following), and newcomer Johnny Sequoyah.

In Believe, ?an unlikely relationship develops between a young girl [sequoyah] with a gift and a man sprung from prison [McLaughlin] who has been tasked with protecting her from the evil elements that hunt her power.? In seven years powers will manifest within the girl, named Bo, and she?ll be able to defeat evil, or something like that. But before she can take care of herself, Tate (McLaughlin), and a mysterious support network, must keep her safe.

Guillory plays an assassin named Moore, who apparently has an ice-cold demeanor and some serious mommy issues to deal with. Chung?s character is a young woman named Channing, who works for a man called Winter (Lindo), both of whom are part of the network that steps in and lends a hand when Tate and Bo are in a tough spot.

The production team also includes Bryan Burke (Lost) and Mark Friedman (The Forgotten). Cuaron and Friedman handled the script, and while Cuaron helmed the pilot.

Caught this last night. Didn't really enjoy it even though I wanted too after Heroes and touch were cancelled and it is a similar kind of genre. Sadly I found all of the characters extremely hard to like. The acting was quite poor. The fight scenes were below standard and the CGI was pretty awful with the exception of the crash in the first 30 seconds. Kind of shocked how the opening was quite well done but that scenes with the pigeons and the fight scenes were pretty awful.

 

I will give it another couple of episodes to pick up but I have a gut feeling this isn't going to be something I continue to watch.

 

Slightly off topic ...

 

A show I did quite enjoy from the first episode this week was Resurrection. Looking forward to the next episode. Also the return of The Mentalist this week is good :yes: Favourite show so far this year is still Hannibal though. I just love the style and that fight scene at the start of episode one was awesome!

Guys, it's a pilot. The rest of the episodes will be different. The assassin that was looking for them is not in the show, only the pilot as she dropped out. The show has gone through a lot of production changes, so let's reserve some judgement.

 

I think it has great potential, but we'll just have to see where it goes.

      I bought this game. Played it for an hour, and then got a refund from Steam. Not a fun game at all.

      Microsoft officially launched its Copilot Cowork enterprise AI agent on June 16, 2026, switching to usage-based pricing on the same day it disclosed it is considering a Microsoft-hosted version of China's DeepSeek V4 as a lower-cost engine for the platform — a pairing that puts the company on a collision course with both its enterprise customers' security teams and a White House that has spent months trying to wall off Chinese AI from American infrastructure.................... https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318647/20260618/microsoft-eyes-deepseek-v4-copilot-cowork-what-azure-hosting-cannot-fix.htm

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets another hotfix for one of the game's online modes by Taras Buria Recently, Forza Horizon 6 players discovered an interesting glitch that allowed farming a crazy amount of in-game credits in a few minutes. Playground Games quickly pulled the plug on the exploit by disabling one of the game's online modes, and today, the studio is rolling out another hotfix. In my review, I complained about the game still showering gamers with cars, credits, and wheelspins. As such, earning money in Forza Horizon 6 is not a particularly difficult task. You simply have to play the game, crazy, I know. However, people still found an easier path to becoming a billionaire in Forza Horizon 6. All you had to do was purchase the Hummer EV, install a specific tune, shift in reverse while going at about 15 MPH, hit a wall, and get launched into the stratosphere at the speed of light. While mid-air, launch Eliminator and quickly get eliminated. Boom, the game just awarded you with a few million in-game credits. Initially, Playground Games disabled Eliminator to prevent people from farming credits. Now, following the release of the first balancing update, developers are rolling out a new update that re-enables Eliminator and gives users a free McLaren Sabre as a gesture of goodwill. Here is the changelog: One critical issue remains unpatched, though. There are quite a few reports of the game wiping gamers' saves, and developers are still looking into that. To avoid potential data loss, Playground Games recommends taking one of the steps outlined in a previously published support article.
