NBC has officially picked up the rights to air Saving Hope, the new Canadian series starring Stargate‘s Michael Shanks (“Daniel Jackson”) and Smallville‘s Erica Durance (“Lois Lane”). The U.S. broadcast network will air the 13-episode first season this summer, alongside its debut CTV run (story).
An original production of CTV, the supernatural hospital drama sees Shanks’ character of Dr. Charlie Harris become a patient in his own hospital. His body locked in a coma, Harris’s spirit wanders the halls of the hospital where his fiancée and fellow surgeon, Alex Reid (Durance), also works. Check out the trailer below.
The series also co-stars Daniel Gillies (The Vampire Diaries). Saving Hope films in Toronto.
