Saving Hope Producer Preps New CTV Detective Drama

TORONTO: Canada’s CTV has greenlit a new ten-episode detective series, which comes from Ilana Frank, the producer behind the network’s hit drama Saving Hope.

The as-yet-untitled series is currently in preproduction, with production set to kick off in spring. The drama will center on two female detectives who work to solve the cases of the major crimes unit while also navigating their personal lives. The show is being produced by Frank’s ICF Films with Entertainment One (eOne) in association with CTV.

“Ilana Frank has been an incredible production partner for CTV, and with this new series we are building on the momentum of Saving Hope, the longstanding and fan favorite hit she brought our viewers for five seasons,” said Mike Cosentino, the senior VP of CTV and specialty at Bell Media. “With a proven track record of creating series that resonate with viewers, we look forward to introducing this new project to Canadians in 2018.”

“After five seasons of collaboration with CTV on Saving Hope, I look forward to continuing our wonderful relationship as we work to bring this exciting new series to viewers,” said Frank.
