CASUALTY: NAOMI WAKSZLAK JOINS CAST OF BBC MEDICAL DRAMA

Casualty, the world’s longest running primetime medical drama, has today announced Naomi Wakszlak (Sexy Beast, Pennyworth) as the newest addition to the beloved BAFTA-winning BBC show. 

She will be stepping into the role of Indie Jankowski, Holby’s first ever student paramedic, who might have a baby-face but is a force to be reckoned with and determined to make her mark. Cheeky but tough and with a sharp wit that can often get her in and out of trouble, Indie is readying to leave the safety of the lecture hall for a chaotic life on the road – but would you want this rookie to save your life?

Naomi will appear on screen in the new series “Public Property”, from 11th January onwards, where her character Indie is ready to face all the challenges of the emergency service with energy and enthusiasm, bringing a fresh perspective to the team at Holby City Hospital.

Naomi Wakszlak said :  “It's a huge honour to work on BBC's Casualty and join the incredible cast and crew here in making one of the UK's best-loved series. I hope you'll all love Indie as much as I do!”

Roxanne Harvey, Executive Producer of Casualty for BBC Studios said: “Naomi is an emerging talent who brings depth and authenticity to the role, seamlessly capturing Indie’s determination and drive to prove herself in a demanding environment. As Indie navigates her professional journey, viewers will witness her growth as a paramedic and the relationships she forms with colleagues, her boss Jan and patients.

Made in Cardiff, Casualty is a BBC Studios Drama production for BBC iPlayer and BBC One. It is executive produced by Roxanne Harvey for BBC Studios, with Rebecca Ferguson for the BBC. The series producer is Liza Mellody and Mat McHale is producer.

Casualty continues Saturday 11th January 2025  -  available 6am on BBC iPlayer and 9.15pm on BBC One
