'Believe' NBC Pilot: Watch Behind-The-Scenes First Look At Alfonso Cuarón, J.J. Abrams New Series [VIDEO]

Alfonso Cuaron and JJ Abrams have teamed up for the new NBC series "Believe," which will premiere March 10. The new show is being directed by Cuaron with J.J. Abrams as executive producer. A new clip released today shows the drama's opening sequence and gives a behind-the-scenes peak. In the show, “sinister forces” are hunting 10-year-old Bo (Johnny Sequoyah), a girl who can levitate, move objects with her will and see into the future - in the opening scene they crash her family's car.

Abrams expressed his excitement about the new show: “It, to me, was one of those great opening scenes that, when Alfonso described it, I had that sense of, ‘Wait a minute, I’m not changing the channel until I know exactly what’s going on,’” Abrams says in the video below. In the pilot, directed by the Oscar-nominated "Gravity" director, Bo's guardian, Milton Winter, is forced to seek the help of Tate (Jake McLaughlin), a death row inmate wrongfully imprisoned to protect Bo.

"Believe" premieres March 10 at 10 p.m. ET following "The Voice" before settling into its regular time slot, Sundays at 9 p.m. ET, on March 16. By the show's premiere, we will have a good idea of just how big Cuaron has become: the Academy Awards are on March 2 and Cuaron is heavily favored to take the Best Director Oscar. Meanwhile "Gravity" is up for a number of awards including Best Actress for Sandra Bullock and Best Picture.
