Paramount+ has announced the renewal of Canadian medical drama series SkyMed for a third season.
SkyMed is a medical drama that follows young medics and pilots who fly air ambulances across the remote skies of Northern Canada.
Season 3 of SkyMed picks up in the aftermath of the dramatic Season 2 finale, when the mounting pressure within the tight-knit SkyMed team, as well as the shocking medical emergency for one of its members, threatens to tear the group apart. Now, faced with more dangerous missions across the wilderness and a few newcomers who arrive at the crew house to shake things up, the medical responders must rely on each other more than ever as they experience heart-pulsing rescues, new love, and hard goodbyes on the job.
Series regulars returning for the third season include Natasha Calis (Nurses) as Hayley, Morgan Holmstrom (Outlander) as Crystal, Praneet Akilla (Nancy Drew) as Chopper, Mercedes Morris (Ghosts) as Lexi, Thomas Elms (The Boys in the Boat) as Nowak, Kheon Clarke (Riverdale) as Tristan, and Sydney Kuhne (Ginny & Georgia) as Stef.
Aaron Ashmore (Ginny & Georgia), who plays Wheezer, has been upped to series regular for Season 3. Returning in recurring roles are Aason “Ace” Nadjiwon (The Twilight Zone) as Bodie and Emilia McCarthy (Zombies) as Madison, with Braeden Clarke (Outlander) returning to guest star as Jeremy.
Anthony Grant (Star Trek: Discovery, Polar) joins the cast in a recurring role as TJ, a fun-loving and social pilot who is easy to crush on but secretly carries some heavy personal baggage. Nicola Correia-Damude (Shadowhunters, Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent) also joins in a recurring role as Marianne, an appealing city slicker who struggles to fit in up north, despite her electric chemistry with Chopper (Akilla).
Production for the nine-episode third season begins Monday, March 25, in Manitoba and Ontario, with the ensemble cast returning for more jaw-dropping rescues 20,000 feet in the air.
The upcoming season will be available to watch exclusively on Paramount+ in the US and internationally outside of Canada, and on CBC in Canada.
SkyMed is produced by Piazza Entertainment in association with CBC and CBS Studios. The series is created by Julie Puckrin and inspired by her sister and brother-in-law, who met flying air ambulances. Puckrin also serves as executive producer, along with Gillian Hormel and Vanessa Piazza. From Manitoba, Rhonda Baker and Carrie Wilkins serve as producers. Outside of Canada, SkyMed is distributed internationally by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
Stay tuned for updates.
