Fans of the gripping new medical drama The Pitt, which follows healthcare workers through a single 15-hour shift in a Pittsburgh emergency department, are seeking alternative shows to watch between episodes. One standout option is Sky Med, a Canadian medical drama now streaming on Paramount+.
Set in remote Northern Canada, Sky Med centres on the intense personal and professional lives of nurses and pilots flying air ambulances. The show, which has been praised for its beautiful locations and compelling characters, recently returned for a fourth season on 21 May, releasing nine new episodes for fans to binge.
The cast includes Natasha Calis, Morgan Holmstrom, Aaron Ashmore, Mercedes Morris and Sydney Kuhne. New additions for season 4 include Shawn Ahmed, Leishe Meyboom, Alexander Eling, Cecilia Lee and Lauren Lee Smith. The season promises new stories and drama as rookie pilots and medics join the team.
Viewers have responded positively, with one describing the show as 'effective drama' that they binged in two days. Another said: 'I discovered this show on accident… I’m hooked.' However, some healthcare professionals have criticised it as 'not even remotely accurate', calling it more akin to teen drama.
All four seasons of Sky Med are available to stream now on Paramount+.
