Canadian Screen Award-nominated SKYMED continues to thrive, moving from its home on CBC now to getting wide distribution on streaming service Paramount+. This is a huge accomplishment for a Canadian series. Set in Northern Manitoba (shot mostly in North Bay), the Medical Drama series centers on nurses and pilots who work for an air ambulance service. There’s suspense, there’s romance, and there’s chaos, and this successful formula has made it a fan favourite, with its fourth season streaming now. This new season promises more thrills, romance (including a love triangle), animal attacks, and a bevy of new characters to stir the pot!
We had the pleasure of celebrating the Series’ new season with a special reception held at Billy Bishop Airport‘s Stolport Hangar, granting guests special access to a very rare opportunity. In addition to a moderated Q&A, the new and returning stars of the beloved series, posted for photo ops. Earlier in the evening, we had the pleasure of chatting with the Cast, including:
