This month, BBC viewers will see two new faces join the latest series of the BAFTA award-winning medical drama Casualty.

The upcoming series of the long-running show, which recently announced some exciting news, is expected to keep audiences on their toes.

As both the hospital and its residents face some of their biggest challenges yet, some fan-favourites will be forced to confront their personal demons.

Along with the returning cast, including the likes of Will Beck, Olly Rix and Kirsty Mitchell, BBC viewers will also welcome some newcomers to the team.

Joining the BBC medical drama will be Death in Paradise actor Aron Julius, who will be taking on the role of disarming charmer Matty. Meanwhile, Vera actress Jasmine Beyes will portray the unsure but capable Kim.

The new resident doctors will have their own set of obstacles to face while enduring the challenges of the ED.

Speaking about joining Casualty, Jasmine commented: “I am delighted to be joining the ED alongside Aron for Casualty’s 40th year.

“The journey Kim goes on is far from simple, and I hope audiences are prepared to follow her into some troubled waters.”

While Aron added: “I am absolutely buzzing to be joining Casualty as Dr Matty Linlaker. It’s a dream job – fast, fun and full of heart – and I can’t wait for audiences to meet him. Saturday nights just got a little more chaotic.”
