Netflix Teams Up with Producers of 24 Hours in A&E for New Medical Drama
Streaming giant Netflix has given the green light to a new medical drama that will rival Channel 4's popular show, 24 Hours in A&E. The twist? Netflix is collaborating with the producers of the hit Channel 4 series to create the new show, tentatively titled Critical.
New Series 'Critical' to Focus on London's Medical Heroes
Set to debut in 2025, Critical will be a six-part documentary-style series showcasing the work of paramedics, doctors, nurses, and surgeons in London. The show will follow the gripping stories of patients saved from the brink of disaster through the eyes of those providing life-saving treatment.
Channel 4 Pauses Production on 24 Hours in A&E
Channel 4 has temporarily halted production on 24 Hours in A&E after airing over 300 episodes. The decision has paved the way for The Garden production company to focus on creating Critical alongside Netflix.
Future Uncertain for 24 Hours in A&E
While fans of 24 Hours in A&E eagerly await news on a possible return, the fate of the show remains uncertain. Producers are in talks with Channel 4 to secure the series' future, but no filming date has been confirmed.
Netflix's Expansion into Gritty Medical Drama
As production for Critical gets underway, Netflix is making bold moves to challenge traditional medical dramas. With CEO John Hay's vision to broaden The Garden's scope, Critical promises to offer a fresh take on the medical genre.
Critical is set to premiere on Netflix in 2025, offering viewers a new and compelling series to look forward to.
