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.

Firsties!!!
Also right on, I was wanting to see this show.
Kudos to "adamthetrekie" on firsties. All I have to say is ::YEAH!!!::
I can't wait for this! I love Michael! Good luck from Italy.
Oh yes, I am so excited! I will definitely be watching during the summer. My mom has never heard of him (I said its because he hasn't been in anything that films stateside), and I will have to show her this, I think she will like him.
I am looking forward to seeing Michael in a non-science fiction movie or program (not that I minded seeing him on Stargate SG-1, Atlantis, the five minutes of Universe I watched when I was bored one night two years ago and I saw him while channel surfing, The Outer Limits, and Sanctuary). Yea, Michael, looking forward to seeing you on TV again! :-)
Looking forward to seeing Michael Shanks in a tv-show not run/aired by SyFail. The plot sounds alittle like "Awake", in the sense that Shanks character is still "awake" while being in a coma.
