In exciting news, the "RFDS" TV show has been awarded 'Best Drama Program' at the 2024 Logies Awards. This award celebrates not only the incredible talent and hard work of the cast and crew but also the importance of the Royal Flying Doctor Service’s (RFDS) life-saving work in Australia’s most remote areas.
This award is a significant achievement, reflecting the dedication and passion of everyone involved in bringing this powerful show to screens. We extend our deepest thank you to EndemolShine Australia, Seven Network, and all the creative minds who played a role in making the "RFDS" series a reality. Their commitment to communicating the work and community of the RFDS has been exceptional.
With this recognition comes more exciting news. the "RFDS" show will be returning for a anticipated third season in 2025. Fans can look forward to more drama and emotional storytelling as the series continues to follow the journey of characters like Leonie, Dr. Wayne Yates, Nurse Pete, and Dr. Eliza Harrod. These beloved characters have captured the hearts of viewers with their bravery, compassion, and the challenges they face in their mission to provide critical healthcare in the outback within the show.
This victory at the Logies is a moment of immense pride for the RFDS team, and we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Seven Network, Screen Australia, and the people of Broken Hill. Without their unwavering support and dedication, this now award-winning series would not have been possible. Broken Hill, with its stunning landscapes and rich history, provided the perfect backdrop for filming, and the local community played a crucial role in bringing authenticity to the show.
During the acceptance speech, actor Ian Meadows, who plays one of the key roles in the series, paid a touching tribute to the real-life heroes of the RFDS. He said, “The work that RFDS nurses, doctors are doing in emergency rooms… there should be awards night for you guys.” His words were met with applause, acknowledging the true stars behind the scenes—the medical professionals who dedicate their lives to saving others in some of the most isolated and challenging environments in Australia.
We are grateful to our loyal viewers and supporters, who have embraced the series and the stories it tells. This Logies win is just the beginning, and we are excited to continue this journey with you all when the series returns in 2025 for another season of heart-stopping drama and inspiring stories. In the meantime, you can catch up on series 2 on Seven Plus.
