Paramount+ announced Wednesday it has picked up a third season of SkyMed, a medical drama series that follows young medics and pilots who fly air ambulances across northern Canada.
Produced by Piazza Entertainment in association with CBC and CBS Studios, production for the nine-episode third season begins March 25 in Manitoba and Ontario, according to a press release.
The upcoming season of SkyMed will available to watch on CBC in Canada and on Paramount+ in the U.S. and outside Canada.
“Season three of SKYMED picks up in the aftermath of the dramatic season two finale, when the mounting pressure within the tight-knit SkyMed team — and 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,” reads a synopsis in the press release.
Series regulars returning in season three 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 a series regular this season.
Returning in recurring roles are Aason “Ace” Nadjiwon (The Twilight Zone) as Bodie and Emilia McCarthy (Zombies) as Madison. Braeden Clarke (Outlander) will return to guest star as Jeremy. Joining the cast in recurring roles are Anthony Grant (Star Trek: Discovery, Polar) as TJ and Nicola Correia-Damude (Shadowhunters, Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent) as Marianne.
SkyMed is created by Julie Puckrin (Transplant, Nurses, Killjoys), who also serves as executive producer along with Gillian Hormel and Vanessa Piazza.
