On July 25, 2012, CTV ordered a second, 13 episode season for the summer of 2013. NBC, however, pulled the show 's final two episodes from its broadcast schedule and made them available on their official website. On November 16, 2012, CTV announced they had increased their episode order for season 2 to eighteen episodes. On November 7, 2013, CTV ordered a third season of Saving Hope that consisted of eighteen episodes and aired in 2014. On November 10, 2014, CTV ordered a fourth season of Saving Hope that consisted of eighteen episodes, and premiered on September 24. 2015. On December 17, 2015, CTV ordered a fifth and final season of Saving Hope that consisted of 18 episodes. In 2015, Ion Television announced that they had secured the American broadcast rights to the show, and began airing it in 2016. Production Conception Malcolm MacRury and Morwyn Brebner devised the concept of the series. MacRury had previously co-created the comedy series Republic of Doyle for CBC, while Brebner had previously co-created television drama Rookie Blue for the Global Television Network. Canadian broadcaster CTV had picked up the pilot episode in November 2011. Executive producers of the show went to Los Angeles, California, to pitch the series to U.S. broadcasters. Their efforts convinced NBC to pick up the series for airing in the United States. CTV and NBC ordered 13 episodes for the first season. The Los Angeles Times claimed that MacRury and Brebner are trying to `` combine a doctors - in - love medical soap opera modeled on Grey 's Anatomy with something completely different, a paranormal ghost story with elements of A Gifted Man and Ghost Whisperer ''. Principal photography for the pilot episode took place in Toronto, Ontario in the spring of 2011. Reception Ratings In Canada, the premiere figures were the highest recorded for the summer season in 2012. The American premiere attracted 3.1 million viewers on NBC, which some critics were unimpressed with.

Verne Gay of Newsday stated the series `` is modeled out of particularly sturdy, comfortable and reliable material. '' He added that it is `` a sober, intelligent, placidly paced drama as only the Canadians can make. '' The Chicago Sun - Times 's Lori Rackl said the series `` has some fun, clever and emotion - stirring moments, but they 're handicapped by cheesy montages and one too many scenarios designed to remind us of the importance of having hope. '' Alan Sepinwall of HitFix called Charlie Harris ' `` spirit walk '' around the hospital `` an interesting solution to the problem of telling stories we 've seen a million times before. But doing it this way ultimately does more harm than good. '' He added : `` It 's not bad so much as tired. '' The San Francisco Chronicle 's David Wiegand called the series `` a lukewarm stew of ideas from other shows... and films... with stock characters and situations that occasionally jerk a demi - tear or two, but with absolutely no authenticity. The sloppy sentimentality is cheap and unearned. '' Broadcast In September 2014, the U.S. television network Ion Television announced a partnership with eOne to have exclusive broadcast rights for current and future American television seasons. In Australia, the series premiered on SoHo on February 6, 2015. See also Television in Canada portal List of ghost films A Gifted Man References Jump up ^ `` Erica Durance ''. Saving Hope.
