Fans of BBC One’s long-running medical drama Casualty may have noticed a few recent schedule shake-ups — but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re wondering when the next episode airs or why the series is temporarily off the air, here’s your definitive guide to what’s happening in Holby ED over the coming weeks.
📅 Next Episode Air Date Confirmed
The next episode of Casualty will air on Saturday 12 July 2025 at 8:50 PM on BBC One.
This instalment, titled “Supply and Demand – Episode 4”, continues a gripping storyline involving a surge in dangerous drugs, a secret tearing the team apart, and a raw emotional reckoning for fan-favourite paramedic Iain Dean, who confronts his troubled mother Kim.
Expect high drama, ethical dilemmas, and an explosive shift in team dynamics as Holby ED comes under increasing strain.
⚠️ Schedule Breaks Ahead
Following this week’s episode, Casualty will be off-air for two weeks due to BBC’s live sports coverage, including Euro 2025 and The Open Championship.
No episodes will air on:
-
Saturday 19 July 2025
-
Saturday 26 July 2025
The break is temporary, with the drama expected to return to its regular Saturday evening slot from 2 August 2025.
📝 Episode Guide – What to Watch
Here’s a look at the upcoming Casualty schedule:
| Date | Time | Episode Title | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sat 12 July 2025 | 8:50 PM | Supply and Demand – Ep 4 | Iain confronts his past; drug crisis grows |
| Sat 19 July 2025 | — | No episode | Pre-empted by Euro 2025 coverage |
| Sat 26 July 2025 | — | No episode | Coverage of The Open Golf Championship |
| Sat 2 August 2025 | Expected | TBC | Series resumes (schedule to be confirmed) |
🔍 Why the Break?
The temporary pause is due to BBC’s extensive coverage of major sporting events this summer. While this is common during July, the drama’s current major storyline involving workplace pressure, family struggles, and moral complexity will continue with full force once the show returns.
🩺 What’s Coming Next?
When Casualty returns in August, expect major repercussions from the ongoing drug epidemic storyline, mounting pressure on clinical lead Max Cristie, and a deepening rift between Teddy and the rest of the team following a recent betrayal. With Casualty’s trademark blend of medical realism and character-driven drama, the series is gearing up for an emotionally intense second half of the season.
📺 Casualty airs Saturdays on BBC One and is also available to stream on BBC iPlayer after broadcast. Stay tuned for official confirmations as the schedule updates throughout the summer.
