CBS Greenlights U.S. Version of Ambulance

CBS will go inside the world of first responders in the new alternative series Ambulance, based on an Endemol Shine format.

The one-hour series will follow alongside medical workers and the 911 dispatchers who are making split-second decisions during life-threatening emergencies. The original U.K. series, produced by Endemol Shine’s Dragonfly, has been a hit on BBC One. Yesterday, a second season of the British show was commissioned.

The U.S. version will be produced by Endemol Shine North America.
