Paramount+ has ordered a third season of Skymed, the one-hour medical drama series that follows young medics and pilots who fly air ambulances across the remote skies of Northern Canada.
Produced by Piazza Entertainment, production for the nine-episode third season begins Monday, March 25 in Manitoba and Ontario. The upcoming season will be available to watch exclusively on Paramount+ in the U.S. and internationally outside of Canada, and on CBC in Canada.
Additionally, Aaron Ashmore, who portrays Wheezer, has been promoted to series regular for Season 3, and Anthony Grant (Star Trek: Discovery) and Nicola Correia-Damude (Shadowhunters) have joined the cast in recurring roles.
Grant plays TJ, a fun-loving, social pilot who is easy to crush on but secretly carries some heavy baggage of his own. Correia-Damude portrays Marianne, an appealing city-slicker who struggles to fit in up north despite her electric chemistry with Chopper (Praneet Akilla).
Season 3 picks up following the Season 2 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.
Returning for Season 3 are series regulars Natasha Calis (Nurses) as Hayley, Morgan Holmstrom (Outlander) as Crystal, 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. Returning in recurring roles are “Ace” Aason Nadjiwon (The Twilight Zone) as Bodie and Emilia McCarthy (Zombies) as Madison, with Braeden Clarke (Outlander) returning to guest star as Jeremy.
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.
