Transplant by creator, showrunner and executive producer Joseph Kay (NSI Totally Television), launches on CTV on February 26. Virginia Rankin (NSI Global Marketing) is also an executive producer. The French-language version Transplanté debuts the same day on VRAK.

Dr. Bashir “Bash” Hamed (Hamza Haq), a Syrian doctor with battle-tested skills in emergency medicine, makes the difficult decision to flee his country with his younger sister Amira. With the hope of returning to his career in medicine, together Bash and Amira strive to build a new life in Canada while managing the struggles that come with a new country. With life experiences and a medical background unlike his Canadian counterparts, Bash works to navigate a new environment and forge new relationships after earning a coveted residency in the emergency department of one of the best hospitals in Toronto, York Memorial.

Developed by CTV, the series is from award-winning Montréal-based producer Sphère Média Plus. NBCUniversal has distribution rights outside Canada.
