Series 32

Series 32 is the thirty-second series of Casualty and commenced airing on 19 August 2017. Filming for the series' first episode began in April 2017. The series contains 44 episodes, the same as the previous series.

The series opened with a two-parter special, set partly in Holby and partly in France. Despite this, filming for the France scenes took place in Wales.

This was the first series of Casualty not to have episode names for its episodes. This was later revealed to be because coming up with episode titles was "incredibly difficult" and made the show feel dated. The episode titles during production were known for episodes one, two, five and six of the series, but like the other episodes in the series, they were scrapped when the episodes aired.

The series titles stayed the same, with the modified theme tune, after first being introduced in the previous series. The series saw the departure of Jez Andrews, portrayed by Lloyd Everitt, Lily Chao, portrayed by Crystal Yu, and Max Walker portrayed by Jamie Davis. The series also saw the return of former character Sam Nicholls (Charlotte Salt) and the arrivals of F1 doctors Rashid Masum, Bea Kinsella, and Eddie McAllister portrayed by Neet Mohan, Michelle Fox, and Joe Gaminara respectively. In addition, Sunetra Sarker reprised her role as Zoe Hanna for one episode of the series.
