Why is Casualty not on tonight, and when will it be back?

The show is on a short break.

Casualty fans will have a bit of a wait before the next episode, as the show is currently on a short break.

Last weekend, the BBC aired coverage of this year’s Glastonbury Festival, with Coldplay headlining the Pyramid Stage on Saturday night – meaning there was no new episode of Casualty.

The disruption continues this week, as tonight (July 6), both BBC One and BBC Two will be busy providing coverage of Euro 2024 and Wimbledon, in a packed summer of sporting action.

This means that, unfortunately, Casualty won’t air once again, and the next new episode of the show will hit our screens next week, on Saturday, July 13.

As a result of these schedule changes, there also won’t be a new episode released early on iPlayer today, with normal service resumed next week.

After a short break of two weeks, fans will be eagerly awaiting the next visit to the ED, as the latest episode – the second instalment in the “Storm Damage” box set – provided some shock twists.

During a shift, Stevie met firefighter Rich, and there was an instant connection between them, though Stevie was put off when she spotted a wedding ring on his finger.

The pair started texting, and while Stevie was cautious about pursuing things with Rich, Siobhan reminded her that life is too short and encouraged her to call him.

But in the latest episode came the shocking reveal that Rich is, in fact, Siobhan’s husband, and she unknowingly encouraged an affair between him and Stevie.

In the same episode, Iain put himself in danger when he saved a man from a car that was sinking underwater, and Faith was left concerned about his heroics and what it meant for her family.

At the end of the episode, Iain was out with Faith and her son Luka when he got on the wrong side of a group of men looting a car.

The gang then brutally attacked Iain, leaving Faith and Luka terrified. What will this mean for Iain and Faith’s relationship?

Casualty airs on Saturday nights on BBC One and now streams first on BBC iPlayer, where episodes are released at 6am on the day of transmission.
