The feature-length anniversary episode that began the series, aired for 99-minutes on 27 August 2016, and featured a storyline event that connected Casualty with its sister show Holby City, with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales recording a special soundtrack for it at BBC Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff Bay. Plans for the special were teased in August 2014, hinting that the show would do something "no other show had done before".[51] In an interview with What's on TV, Chucky Venn revealed that his character, Jacob Masters, would play "an integral part" in the anniversary special, before further stating that both cast and crew members had nicknamed the anniversary episode as Casualty: The Movie while it was being filmed.[52] Kent later stated that the episode would make the audience "gasp, laugh and cry buckets".[22][53]

Hossington teased the series finale in an interview with Sophie Dainty of Digital Spy, promising to give viewers "a live experience" without making a live episode.

The finale will be one hour long and will be written by Paul Unwin. Hossington commented on the one shot episode, saying the special episode will "give the audience a unique insight into an hour in A&E". She added that the episode would be "intense" and "emotional".[55]

On 25 January 2017, Casualty was awarded Best Drama at the annual National Television Awards.[64] Commenting on the win, series creator Kathleen Hutchison said: "Thank you, this is absolutely wonderful, we are completely overwhelmed - it was a very strong category. A wonderful way to celebrate our 30th anniversary. And thank you all for keeping us there, thank you."[64] The show was shortlisted against Cold Feet, Game of Thrones, Happy Valley and The Night Manager.[64][65] Hossington said the reaction to the win was "electric" and it had "a huge impact on everybody". She added that the show's team were "so chuffed that the sheer love and hard work that they put into the show has been appreciated by the audience and the fans".[41] It was announced on 11 April 2017 that Casualty had been nominated for a BAFTA under the Soap & Continuing Drama category.
