The current series producer Erika Hossington revealed that they had big plans for the show's thirtieth anniversary, which fell at the beginning of this series. It was later revealed that the 30th anniversary episode was to air on 27 August, 10 days before actual anniversary. The series will contain 43 episodes, the same as the previous series. The series finale will be a live episode, and contain something never done by Casualty before. In April 2017, this was revealed to be a "One Shot" episode that would centre around Duffy showing two nurses around the ED, and it would be shot in one take with hidden microphones to catch character lines. This series introduced a brand new title sequence and a slightly modified theme tune, although the changes to the latter were minimal. The first new arrival of the series was that of F1 doctor Sebastian Grayling, portrayed by Rik Makarem, who appeared from October 2016 to January 2017. In February 2017, it was revealed that an old character will be returning to the show; this was later revealed to be Sam Nicholls, although it was announced in April that she would be returning in series 32. Richard Winsor left the show in episode 33 when his character, Caleb Knight, was killed off. After executive producer Oliver Kent became Head of Continuing Drama, Simon Harper, Holby City's series producer, became acting executive producer of Casualty. It's currently unknown when Harper's first episode as executive producer will air, as he took on the role in 2017.
