Series 38 is primarily filmed at Roath Lock Studios, located in Cardiff, where the serial has been produced since 2011.

The series commences in the United Kingdom on 26 August 2023 on BBC One, a week after the conclusion to the previous series. Casualty normally airs weekly on BBC One on Saturday nights, although episodes 2 and 3 were broadcast as a double billing. It is produced by BBC Studios. The series consists of 36 episodes, a significantly reduced number from previous series due to cost inflation in the production of dramas. A publicity officer told Joe Anderton from Digital Spy that this was decided to preserve the quality of the show. The reduction in episodes meant that the show took a mid-series break after the broadcast of episode 6 on 16 September 2023. Anderton's colleague, Sophie Dainty, expected that this would become an annual break, having reviewed previous mid-series breaks. A promotional trailer for the show's return was released on 23 September 2023 with confirmation that it would return to broadcast later in 2023. In December 2023, it was confirmed that the show would return to transmission on 30 December with a new mini-series. The mini-series, "A History of Violence", was promoted in a trailer released on 7 December 2023.

Jon Sen continues his role as executive producer; his resignation was announced in October 2023. Kate Oates, the head of continuing drama at BBC Studios, expressed sadness at Sen's decision but accredited him with "creating some groundbreaking moments". Roxanne Harvey was announced as his successor in November 2023. Harvey looked forward to creating "distinctive, addictive characters alongside ambitious, emotionally epic stories that reflect our modern day NHS". Liza Mellody serves as series producer. Filming for Casualty primarily takes place in a purpose-built studio at the BBC Roath Lock Studios in Cardiff, although the nature of the show means that filming also takes place on-location. On-location filming often occurs in Cardiff and other areas of southern Wales.

He is the show's longest-serving cast member, having appeared in over 900 episodes over 37 years. The character departs at the conclusion of a "gripping" storyline suggested by Thompson which plays out across series 38.

In a statement, Thompson thanked Pete Salt, the inspiration for his character, for his support in establishing the character of Charlie. Harman's departure from the show was officially confirmed by Sen in October 2023. Sen praised the actor, calling him "a brilliant addition to the show".

Melanie Hill joined the cast in series 38 as Siobhan Mackenzie, the department's new senior sister/clinical nurse manager. Siobhan is billed as a "hardworking", experienced and "no-nonsense" nurse who will use her knowledge to support the department in its time of crisis. Hill was excited to be playing Siobhan, who she dubbed "a supremely competent manager, who is firm but fair and expects nothing but the best from her nursing team". Sen expressed his joy at Hill's casting and called himself "a huge admirer of her work". Actress Adesuwa Oni was cast in the series as staff nurse Ngozi Okoye.
