NBC is taking medical drama "Saving Hope" off the schedule. Instead, the network will make the final two episodes of season one available online, The Hollywood Reporter confirms.

The two episodes were originally scheduled to air Sept. 8 and 15 and will be replaced by encores of "America's Got Talent" and "The Voice."
Led by "Smallville" alum Erica Durance, the hourlong drama has struggled to make a splash in the ratings. It launched to 3.1 million total viewers and a 0.7 rating among adults 18-49 in June.
