Watch: first trailer for 'Saving Hope' starring Erica Durance!

Former Smallville star Erica Durance is headed back to a new TV series in Saving Hope, which has been picked up for a 13-episode first season by Canada’s CTV.

The production company Entertainment One Television has released the first trailer for the show. Also, the show's synopsis below...

In SAVING HOPE, when charismatic Chief of Surgery Charlie Harris (Michael Shanks, STARGATE ATLANTIS) at Toronto’s Hope-Zion Hospital ends up in a coma, he leaves the hospital in chaos – and his fiancée and fellow surgeon, Alex Reid (Erica Durance, SMALLVILLE), in a state of shock. Along with newly-arrived star surgeon, Joel Goran (Daniel Gillies, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES), Alex races to save Harris' life. As the action unfolds, comatose Dr. Harris wanders the halls of Hope-Zee in “spirit” form, not sure if he's a ghost or a figment of his own imagination. Reid, along with her fellow doctors, press on to save his life and those of their other patients, as they deal with the complicated and courageous decisions that are made in their daily struggle to keep hope alive.

NBC is reportedly thinking of picking up the show in the U.S.
