Casualty enthusiasts are in for a disappointment as the beloved BBC series has been taken off the television schedule due to Euro 2024. The popular hospital drama will not be airing on its usual slot on Saturday, June 29, 2024, as it has been replaced by coverage of UEFA Men’s Euro 2024.
Fans of Casualty have been eagerly following the recent dramatic sequences in the show, especially with newcomer Barney Walsh’s character Cam being caught up in chaos during a potent storm.

His role in Casualty has been described as a “dream come true” by the actor himself.
