Transplant S1-4

Belonging is the best medicine.

In the fourth and final season of the award-winning medical drama, Syrian refugee Dr Bashir “Bash” Hamed is on the precipice of finishing his residency at York Memorial and officially re-qualifying as a doctor. Bash and his sister, Amira, are Canadian citizens now, but are still trying, with everything they have, to build a life in their adopted country.

Hamza Haq (Quantico) leads the cast as Dr Bashir, a role that has earned him three consecutive Best Actor wins at the Canadian Screen Awards.

When it premiered, Transplant became the most-watched new Canadian series since 2017.
