RTS Award winning Casualty has today released its new trailer for the highly anticipated launch of its next series “Supply and Demand.”
This gripping new twelve-parter delves into the harrowing realities of a drug crisis. An interruption to the illegal drug supply chain puts pressure on the entire Emergency Department, who are also under strain from clinical drugs shortages. Whilst addicts scour the streets, hospital medics struggle to fill prescriptions.
A daring crane rescue leads to personal tensions in the paramedic team reaching boiling point, leaving everyone wondering who they can trust, as questions are raised about Iain (Michael Stevenson)’s future. Meanwhile, Flynn (Olly Rix) struggles to connect with his daughters amid the chaos of the emergency department, while Ngozi (Adesuwa Oni) and Nicole (Sammy T Dobson) confront the devastating emotional legacy of addiction.
As the series unfolds, viewers will witness the poignant toll on the paramedics as they grapple with their own personal demons while striving to save others.
“Supply and Demand” promises to be a powerful exploration of the human spirit in the face of adversity, tackling themes of addiction, teamwork, and the pursuit of hope.
