Paramount+ has given the green light to SkyMed season four.

SkyMed's prognosis is good. The Canadian medical drama has been cleared for liftoff for another season. The series' third season premiered this spring on Paramount+, and will return for a fourth season next year. The series, which is filmed on location in northern Manitoba, centers around a group of nurses and pilots working for an air ambulance service, performing death-defying, life-saving procedures 20,000 feet in the air. The show frequently makes use of practical effects with actual aircraft, rather than using green-screen technology.

SkyMed premiered in 2022 on CBC, Canada's national broadcasting service. It was created by Julie Puckrin (Killjoys), who was inspired by her own sister, a nurse, and brother-in-law, a pilot; they met while working for an air ambulance service themselves. The show has notably featured both queer and Indigenous storylines to properly reflect the diversity of Canada's north. The fourth season will be eight episodes long, one episode shorter...

SkyMed will keep flying, now that Paramount+ has renewed the medical drama for Season 4, TVLine has learned.

The good news comes four weeks after Season 3 dropped Stateside on the streamer, and three months after the Season 3 finale aired up north on CBC.

An episode of Canadian drama “Nurses” that aired on NBC earlier this month has been pulled from the broadcaster’s digital platforms following backlash over the installment’s storyline about an Orthodox Jewish patient refusing a bone graft from a potentially “Arab” or female donor, a spokesperson for the network tells TheWrap.

“The writers of this scene check all the boxes of ignorance and pernicious negative stereotypes, right down to the name of the patient, Israel – pious and all,” the Simon Wiesenthal Center said in a statement earlier Wednesday. “In one scene, NBC has insulted and demonized religious Jews and Judaism. Overreaction? Orthodox Jews are targeted for violent hate crimes — in the city of New York, Jews are number one target of hate crimes in U.S.. This is no slip of the tongue. It was a vile, cheap attack masquerading as TV drama. What’s NBC going to do about it?...

NBC has firmed up its January lineup and has set premiere dates for new Tina Fey-Robert Carlock comedy series Mr. Mayor, starring Ted Danson, and for Season 2 of Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist.

Mr. Mayor will take over the 8 p.m. anchor slot in NBC’s Thursday comedy block starting January 7, with Superstore sliding to 8:30 p.m.

Ellen’s Game of Games will once again serve as a bridge between the two cycles of The Voice but, instead of Tuesday, it will be filling in for The Voice on Monday. The Tuesday 8 p.m. slot goes to Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist, whose first season aired on Sundays. It will now serve as a lead-in to NBC’s flagship drama This Is Us starting on January 5, when Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist will launch its second season and This Is Us will return with originals.

As previously announced, NBC continues to keep...

NBC is importing the Canadian medical drama “Nurses” to air on the network beginning next month.

The 10-episode series, set in Toronto, follows five young nurses working on the frontlines of a busy downtown hospital, dedicating their lives to helping others while struggling to help themselves. It stars Tiera Skovbye (“Riverdale”), Natasha Calis (“The Posession”), Jordan Johnson-Hinds (“Blindspot”), Sandy Sidhu (“Home Before Dark”) and Donald MacLean Jr. (“Workin’ Moms”).

The network will air preview episodes on Monday, Dec. 7 and Monday, Dec. 14 before returning with a proper premiere on Tuesday, Jan. 5.

The move to import “Nurses,” which first aired on Canada’s Global TV, looks to build on the success NBC saw with its other recent import, “Transplant,” earlier this fall. “Transplant” premiered on the network back in September and has averaged 5.6 million viewers per episode, with a particularly strong showing in delayed viewing.

“Nurses” is executive produced by Ilana Frank,...

The Canadian import boom continues after NBC on Tuesday said it has picked up the medical drama Nurses.

The network acquired U.S. rights to the hospital drama from eOne and Icf Films. It will add the show, which features Riverdale’s Tiera Skovbye, to its primetime lineup in December.

It marks the latest Canadian show to be picked up by a U.S. network following deals for fellow medical drama Transplant, also with NBC, and procedural Coroner, which was picked up by the CW, as networks continue to look for already produced English-language content to deal with the fallout that Covid-19 has had on production schedules.

Nurses, originally commissioned by Canada’s Global TV, was one of a number of Canadian shows highlighted by Deadline back in May that was expected to be picked up by a U.S. network.

The 10-part series, filmed and set in Toronto, follows...
