MediCOOL returns with its ninth season on Antena 1 and AntenaPLAY, starting with September 8, Monday through Friday
A brand-new season of MediCOOL returns to TV screens, hosted by Dr. Mihail Pautov, a specialist in general surgery. Starting with September 8, from Monday to Friday at 6:00 PM, viewers can watch the show on Antena 1 and AntenaPLAY. The upcoming episodes promise plenty of surprises, featuring an expanded format with numerous specialists ready to tackle medical issues in an accessible, friendly way.

The most renowned doctors in Romania will join the MediCOOL studio to provide answers that guide us toward healthier lives. This season brings together a diabetologist, cardiologist, ENT specialist, dentist, physiotherapist, dermatologist, and even a midwife, who will help explain traditional remedies passed down from generation to generation.
In addition, the audience will enjoy healthy recipes presented by a professional chef. The show also introduces a medical quiz, along with a brand-new segment where social media myths are confronted with medical truths. Prevention starts at home, and the experts aim to bring medicine closer to viewers than ever before.
Dr. Mihail Pautov, the show’s host, shares:
“I’m excited to announce the start of a new season of MediCOOL! This is by far the most energetic and colorful season yet: with more humor, truly entertaining moments, but also real stories, spectacular medical cases, and mysteries we will solve together. You’ll see celebrities speaking openly about their health, as well as specialists offering clear explanations and practical solutions. By the end of every episode, you’ll leave with something valuable: a good piece of advice or a tool you can use to improve your life. I promise a season that not only informs but also entertains, keeps you engaged, and surprises you from start to finish.”
Chef Samuel le Torriellec adds:
“A new season of MediCOOL is here! We’ve prepared many surprises, an extraordinary medical team, new segments, and even contests for viewers. The cases presented are incredible. Of course, we’ll also have fun! We’ll cook and do all sorts of things to make everything simply WOW!”
Dr. Ștefan Busnatu explains:
“I chose to join the new MediCOOL concept because I want to focus more on prevention and how to protect our hearts before disease appears. Medical education should be part of daily life, not something we think about only when we end up in the hospital. This season will highlight real stories and timely topics, from snoring that may hide sleep apnea and increase heart attack risk, to water retention, the effects of cold on the heart, sauna benefits and risks, cold showers, and the silent dangers of noise pollution. Every topic will be explained clearly, with practical advice and solutions. ‘Caring for your heart’ is not just a slogan—it’s my mission.”
Dr. Victor Chiper adds:
“I’m thrilled to join MediCOOL, where we’ll debunk the most common health myths and find the most effective ways to live long with the best version of our bodies. I’ll share new perspectives on optimal nutrition and healthy habits that protect against chronic diseases.”
Midwife Vania Limban shares:
“This new season brings exciting changes to MediCOOL, with a team of specialists addressing health in an original, easy-to-understand way. My role is to explore traditional remedies and check together whether they truly hold up today.”
Monica Păun says:
“I’m delighted to announce that I’ve joined MediCOOL! This season brings new approaches as we explore complex medical topics in an accessible way, demystifying conditions and treatments. With patients also joining the studio to share their stories, we’re bringing healthcare even closer to viewers.”
Dr. Irina Scorțea explains:
“My role is to share essential, easy-to-apply information about dental health. I want to provide practical advice for maintaining healthy teeth while also presenting the latest innovations in dentistry. From Digital Smile Design—a modern method for planning and visualizing the perfect smile—to complex dental reconstructions, these are real transformations that restore confidence. My mission is to make medical information accessible, accurate, and inspiring, because a healthy smile is the first step to overall well-being.”
Carmen Brumă says:
“The ninth season of MediCOOL has been both a challenge and a joy. After so many seasons of earning the trust of our audience with health-related content, we’re back on air daily, with the same enthusiasm and confidence that this season will be at least as strong as the previous ones. We’ll tackle controversial topics, provide concrete solutions about nutrition and exercise, and show how to live healthier, more energetic lives.”
Florin Cujba adds:
“Joining MediCOOL is a wonderful opportunity to share my perspective on fitness and healthy living with a wider audience. Together, we’ll explore how exercise and positive habits impact our well-being. Expect valuable tips that will truly improve your life.”
Dr. Bogdan Pană shares:
“As a specialist in headaches for the past 8 years, this season is really meaningful. In addition to discussing the latest treatments for migraines, we’ll also have a patient that will share her experience of living with migraines. We’ll also cover chronic fatigue and ways to prevent burnout.”
Dr. Gloria Berteșteanu notes:
“Being part of MediCOOL has been refreshing! Sometimes it’s good to step out of your comfort zone. I’ve discovered how challenging TV work is, but also how rewarding. With my friendly and fun approach to ENT, both in my practice and on TV, I hope to make these topics accessible to patients and viewers.”
The ninth season promises emotion and hope, as impressive cases will also be presented in the studio. Viewers seeking a better quality of life will receive valuable advice on nutrition, exercise, and hygiene, while myths will be explained in a clear and accurate way.
MediCOOL premieres on September 8, airing Monday to Friday from 6:00 to 7:00 PM, on Antena 1 and AntenaPLAY.
