EXCLUSIVE: SkyMed is returning to the Paramount+ runway on May 21.
Season 4 of the series about air ambulance crews in northern Canada is cleared for takeoff and will ascend on Paramount+ in Canada, the U.S, the UK, Latin America and Brazil, Australia, Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria in just over a month. You can watch an exclusive trailer above.
Filmed in North Bay, Ontario and Manitoba, the eight-part season finds the crew disrupted like never before, as the arrival of new rookie pilots and medics unsettles the dynamic and its leaders begin losing control, rookies push limits, and emotions override protocol.
“This isn’t a training flight anymore… it’s an emergency,” the new recruits are told in the trailer, as a plane jolts forward, propeller appearing to fail. Concerned, young faces peer back before the trailer cuts to a montage.
