Is Island Medics coming back?

Island Medics is currently between seasons. The show last aired on June 18, 2020, and there is no confirmed return date. As of May 9, 2026, new episodes have not been announced, and the series remains on hiatus.

Island Medics was a documentary series that aired on BBC One, beginning in 2017. It provided viewers with a behind-the-scenes look at the medical team at Gilbert Bain Hospital in Lerwick, Shetland. The series showcased how doctors, nurses, GPs, paramedics, coastguard, lifeboat crews, and police worked together to deliver emergency and medical care to the island's 23,000 residents, as well as workers from nearby oil rigs and cruise tourists. The remote location, surrounded by the North Sea and closer to the Arctic Circle than London, created unique challenges for the team.

The show featured Kevin Whately as the narrator. It had a runtime of 39 minutes per episode.
