Fans of SkyMed have a lot to look forward to as the popular Canadian medical drama is officially coming back for a third season. The show first hit CBC Television in 2022 and quickly gained popularity for its unique premise and characters. The show is set in the remote areas of northern Manitoba and follows a team of brave nurses and pilots who work for an air ambulance service.

Moreover, these people fly into dangerous and challenging situations to save lives, often risking their own in the process. Given this brilliant storytelling, it was renewed for a second season in 2023 and continued to build on the action-packed rescues and intense drama that fans have come to love.

Now, the third season is also set to drop soon, and the anticipation for the same is at an all-time high. So, let’s take a look at the release date of the show as well as the cast,...

Jeffrey Dean Morgan became a household name largely due to his performance as the ruthless Negan in The Walking Dead and The Walking Dead: Dead City. Negan is first introduced as an antagonist in the post-apocalyptic zombie drama, brutally murdering fan favorite Glenn (Steven Yeun) to establish himself as a major threat off the bat. Brilliant, sarcastic, and tyrannical, Negan menaces the survivors for seasons before somehow making a flip to the protagonist in the show's spin-off, thanks largely to Morgan's charisma and skill.

Morgan has a long history of portraying gruff, tough guy types. Sometimes, these roles are misunderstood anti-heroes, and other times, he plays outright heinous people. He has a tact for covering all shades of the villainous spectrum. Whether viewers love to hate him or just outright loathe him, Morgan knows how to bring a bad guy to life.

“SkyMed follows the triumphs and tribulations of young medics and pilots who fly air ambulances across Northern Canada.

The episode of Best Horror Movie You Never Saw covering The Possession was Written by Andrew Hatfield, Narrated by Jason Hewlett, Edited by Paul Bookstaber, Produced by John Fallon and Tyler Nichols, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

While every decade has movies that fly under the radar, the addition of multiple streaming services in the 2010s gives us quite the list to work off of. While everyone’s favorite decade for horror is usually the ’80s or ’90s, there are far more hidden gems to find now than ever before. How a movie with a great cast, good production value, and the vaunted “based on a true story angle” was somehow successful at the box office and entirely forgotten just a little over a decade after release is just bizarre. It’s one of the more interesting demon takeover movies we’ve seen and definitely earns its title of...

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?...

Off the case. In this exclusive clip from Tuesday, Feb. 23's Nurses season finale, Ashley (Natasha Calis) faces retaliation from head nurse Sinead (Cathy White) after reaching out to the latter's boyfriend with concerns about Sinead's drinking. For those unfamiliar with the show, per NBC, Nurses "follows five young nurses working on the frontlines of a busy downtown hospital, dedicating their lives to helping others, while struggling to help themselves." This is proven to be true in the just-released footage above. "What did I tell you?" an enraged Sinead snaps at Ashley. "My boyfriend just confronted me about being back in the drop. I wondered where he got such a...

Back in early 2020, before the pandemic had really started, CBC premiered Nurses, their new medical drama. A year later, it premiered in the U.S. on NBC. And we're so glad it did!

We're only halfway through the first season at this point, so we're still getting to know the characters, but so far, we love them all!

We didn't love Ashley Collins so much to begin with. she doesn't make the best first impression, but she's growing on us. The talented Natasha Calis play Ashley.

Natasha's been acting since age seven. She's known for her role in Box Office Hit, The Possession, and NBC's The Firm.

Natasha took some time to talk with us about Ashley's character and what she thinks people have gotten and will get out of the show.

Brazil’s Globo, Latin America’s biggest media company, has sealed an exclusive SVOD deal on a trio of high-profile drama series – NBC-aired “Nurses,” The CW’s “Burden of Truth” and “Mary Kills People”- all sold by Entertainment One (eOne).

Announced in the run-up to next week’s NATPE Virtual Miami 2021 market, the exclusive licensing pact, involving over 70 hours of original drama, will see all the three dramas made available on Globo’s premium Ott service Globoplay, Brazil’s biggest domestic video streaming platform and one of the fastest-growing of large Latin American TV services.

Deal takes in seasons one and two of “Nurses” and life-of-series for legal thriller “Burden of Truth” and the ethics-questioning drama “Mary Kills People.” It was brokered by David Hanono, VP of sales, Latin America, eOne.

NBC's latest Canadian import, Nurses, continues tonight at 10/9c.

Nurses Season 1 Episode 2 finds a guest of honor at a St. Mary’s fundraiser collapsing, and Grace grappling with the patient’s refusal to tell her family her secret.

Ashley confronts Grace about her own secret, and we have an exclusive first look at the scene in which Grace reveals she was sexually harassed by a man in a position of power.

The clip shows Grace revealing all to Ashley, but it's clear that Grace is not impressed with Ashley meddling in her life.

Grace tells Ashley that Dr. Hamilton could not keep his hands to himself, no matter how she tried to avoid him.

Ashley seems shocked when she learns the truth, but Grace does not want to hear it.

It's poised to be a big moment between the characters, but it seems like the revelation pushes them further apart.

Due to Covid-19, a slew of shows has had to put off filming. To fill their air space, networks have been importing shows from Canada. Earlier this year, NBC aired the Canadian medical drama Transplant, and it was a rousing success.

Given how popular Transplant was, it's no surprise that NBC would pick up another Canadian medical drama. This one is all about the unsung heroes of the hospital, the nurses.

Nurses is definitely worth the watch if, for no other reason than because nurses don't get enough credit. As Head Nurse Sinead O'Rourke, played by Cathy White, puts it, the doctors are the rockstars.

Television is filled with popular rockstar doctors, from Meredith Grey to Conrad Hawkins and everyone in between. They seem larger than life, and they save lives every day.

When people go to the hospital, they don't expect a nurse to save their life. They expect a doctor to do it.

If you’ve ever wondered about the unheralded support staff behind the docs on Grey’s Anatomy, then NBC’s Stateside debut of the Canadian drama Nurses is for you.

The premiere follows five nurses on their first day of work at a major Toronto hospital, where they’re informed that they’re a different breed than the residents when it comes to treating patients: “Those rock stars make them well. We make them matter,” head nurse Sinead (Vikings‘ Cathy White) tells her new charges. Then almost immediately, they’re thrown into trauma as victims come in from an attack on a nearby art college.

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.

Maryann (Natasha Calis) is a recently orphaned pre-teen that just moved in with her grandparents. Already having […]...

Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer director John McNaughton's new horror film, The Harvest, comes out on Blu-ray today courtesy of Scream Factory, and we've been provided with three copies to give away to Daily Dead readers.

The Harvest: "In his first film in nearly 15 years, the director of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer harks back to the depravity that made his 1986 debut a horror milestone. Equally terrifying, The Harvest is "a refreshingly old-school nerve-jangler with no need for paranormal monsters or flashy special effects" (The Hollywood Reporter).

Maryann (an impressive Natasha Calis, The Possession) moves in with her grandparents after she's orphaned. Desperately lonely, the preteen sets out to befriend a deathly ill, bed-ridden boy (Charlie Tahan, Gotham), despite the outright disapproval of his mother (Samantha Morton, Minority Report, Sweet and Lowdown). Maryann's persistence pays off, however, and during a series of secret visits she gradually...

John McNaughton, enfante-terrible of the BBFC thanks to his stunning 1986 debut feature Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, returns to genre film making after two decades away from horror (his Masters of Horror episode in 2006 is his only “horror” credit in 25 years), with Can’t Come Out to Play, a psychological thriller starring Britain’s very own Samantha Morton and everyone’s favourite Superman villain, Michael Shannon, who play married medical professionals Katharine and Richard Young who keep their sick son Andy isolated from the outside world in their remote countryside house.

However that isolation is broken when Maryann, following the death of her parents, moves in with her grandparents just down the road. Having left all she knows behind and feeling alone, she eventually befriends Andy...

*Updated* This April, genre fans have a lot of interesting films arriving on VOD and Digital Platforms to look forward to, including the highly-anticipated directorial debut from Ryan Gosling, Lost River, which Warner Bros. is set to release on the 10th.

The very same day, IFC Films is debuting the latest from filmmaker John McNaughton- The Harvest- who is the same visionary behind the visceral cult classic Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer starring Michael Rooker. FilmBuff will also be busy on April 10th as they’re releasing The Reconstruction of William Zero, an indie sci-fi thriller starring Amy Seimetz (Tiny Furniture), Melissa McBride (The Walking Dead), Aj Bowen (You're Next), and newcomer Conal Byrne.

April is also chock-full of genre entertainment choices from Uncork’d Entertainment and we’ve also got several indie horror titles making their way to digital as well including the latest from Dark Sky Films,...

The Harvest, from Henry: Portrait of a serial Killer director John McNaughton, was a firm audience favourite when it aired at last Summer’s London Frightfest and fans have been eagerly awaiting news of the films UK debut. Well the wait is over… Signature Entertainment, have announced the June 22nd release of the film under the title of Can’t Come Out to Play – which is perhaps a more apt, if over-simplified, title given that The Harvest was as generic of a title as they come. Although Both names do fit the story quite succinctly:

Feeling nothing but devastation after the loss of her mother and father, teenager Maryann (Natasha Calis) moves in with her grandparents and is delighted when she befriends Andy (Charlie Tahan). Andy is in very poor health, and he must stay within his home and carefully follow the instructions of his mother Katherine (Samantha Morton) – who...

Despite director John McNaughton’s best efforts, The Harvest is plagued by a host of cinematic parasites that eat through every scene until only an empty, shallow husk remains. Although its theatrical poster showcases a quaint little house that’s engulfed in raging flames, the actual film proves to be quite timid, blandly underacted, and exhaustively flat – a false representation of the chaos that’s dangled in front of our faces. That’s not to say misrepresentation ruins The Harvest outright, but the movie on-hand is about as lifeless as they come, and puts this poor Bessie out to pasture within mere minutes. I never thought I’d see the day where I wanted More out of Michael Shannon, but that’s why I never say never.

Stephen Lancellotti’s story revolves around a young boy named Andy (Charlie Tahan), who suffers from a crippling disease that requires him to...

At one time or another, we’ve all felt we’ve had the worst parents in the world. We have our reasons, but watch The Harvest (2013) and you’ll quickly reevaluate your thinking. The question arises… what is a child’s life worth and how far will you go to save that life when certain death rears its unfriendly head?

The Harvest tells the story of a seriously ill boy named Andrew, bed-ridden and bored out of his mind. He’s not allowed to leave the house, play baseball, have friends or go to school, and is barely allowed to leave his room. Andrew, played by Charlie Tahan, is weak and can barely stand on his own, but he still has desires just like any boy his age. These desire have been successfully subdued by his over-protective, borderline psychotic mother Katherine, played by Samantha Morton. Then a misunderstood, rebellious girl...
