Skymed is produced by Piazza Entertainment. Puckin executive produces with along with Vanessa Piazza, Ron Murphy, and Gillian Hormel. Steve Adelson serves as pilot director. From Manitoba, Kyle Irving and Lisa Meeches serve as executive producers for Eagle Vision. Jennica Harper and Nikolijne Troubetzkoy serve as co-executive producers. Outside of Canada, the series will be distributed internationally by ViacomCBS Global Distribution Group.
"Julie has brilliantly imagined these characters who are not only dealing with demanding, high-pressure circumstances, they're also dealing with the ups and downs of their lives as they come into their own. We are proud to partner with Paramount+, CBS Studios and CBC, and look forward to introducing these characters to audiences."
