From the executive producer of “Friday Night Lights” comes the new medical drama series “Trauma.” It’s billed as the first high-octane medical show to live exclusively in the field where the action is. What’s not known at this time is if the pilot cast, which includes Derek Luke and Jamey Sheridan, will be the same in the regular series.

Hopefully Derek will be a regular through out the series!

San Francisco's Duboce Park. The helicopter seeing is just part of the filming for the TV show 'Trauma.'

San Francisco residents were confused by the landing of a helicopter in Duboce Park today. It turns out that the stunt was part of the filming for the television series “Trauma.”

The show focuses on a group of paramedics as they save lives under extraordinary circumstances. The high-octane medical drama brings together the executive producers of “Friday Night Lights”and the film “Hancock.”

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom announced at the beginning of March that NBC committed to locate the show’s pilot production to the city. The show’s base of operations is on Treasure Island.

The pilot’s cast includes Derek Luke (“Notorious”), Cliff Curtis (“10,000 B.C”), Anastasia Griffith (“Damages”), Aimee Garcia (“George Lopez”), Kevin Rankin (“Friday Night Lights”) with Jamey Sheridan (“Law & Order: Criminal Intent).

Penned by Dario Scardapane, the pilot is estimated to spend $7 million in San Francisco through the hiring of local crew, payment of local taxes, city services, and the patronage of local business.

Production will last four weeks.

San Francisco has served as the background for several popular television series, the most renowned being “Streets of San Francisco” and “Midnight Caller.”

daemonstv.com recently did an interview with Trauma co-star Kevin Rankin! And Kevin is so happy to be working with both Curtis and Derek!

Is there an actor that you’d love to work with that you haven’t had a chance to?

Kevin Rankin: Ooh, yeah. There’s plenty of them. I’d say Gary Oldman. Wow, there’s a huge list. I’m working with two of them right now, with Cliff Curtis and Derek Luke. Literally, those are two guys that are on my list and now I’m doing a series with them so I couldn’t be happier about that, for sure.
