List of episodes

The thirty-ninth series of the British medical drama television series Casualty began airing on BBC One in the United Kingdom on 10 August 2024. The series focuses on the professional and personal lives of medical and ancillary staff at the emergency department (ED) of the fictional Holby City Hospital. Liza Mellody continued as series producer, with Roxanne Harvey taking over as executive producer following the departure of Jon Sen. Series 39 begins with the second half of the miniseries Storm Damage, continuing from the previous series, and continues onto the next miniseries Public Property.

Production

[edit]
Series 39 is primarily filmed at Roath Lock Studios, located in Cardiff, where the serial has been produced since 2011.

The series began airing in the United Kingdom on 10 August 2024 on BBC One, a week after the conclusion to the previous series.[1][2][3] Series 39 is set to continue following a three month break in late 2024. At the end of the Storm Damage miniseries, a trailer for the Christmas special was shown.[4] A subsequent press release stated that "the Christmas special will celebrate the gift of giving and will be told in an innovative, format-breaking way".[5] In November it was confirmed that the episode would revolve around "the miracle of blood" and incorporate real-life testimonies.[6]

Roxanne Harvey was announced as the series' new executive producer in November 2023, taking over from Jon Sen.[7] Harvey looked forward to creating "distinctive, addictive characters alongside ambitious, emotionally epic stories that reflect our modern day NHS".[7] Harvey is expected to assume the role from the Christmas special; no executive producer is credited throughout Storm Damage.

Cast

[edit]

The thirty-ninth series of Casualty features a cast of characters working for the NHS within the emergency department of Holby City Hospital and the Holby Ambulance Service.[8] Sixteen cast members reprised their roles from the previous series, with this series the first not to feature Derek Thompson as Charlie Fairhead.
