When is Holby City ending?

Last year it was confirmed Holby City was coming to an end after 23 years on air.

When it was announced the show was being axed, it was revealed the show would be finishing in March 2022.

In a statement released at the time, it said: “We’re very sorry to bring you the sad news that Holby City will come to an end in March next year, after 23 amazing years.

“We are so very grateful to all of Holby’s wonderful cast, crew, writers and producers – and to our millions of loyal viewers and fans for being part of our show.”

“We promise that Holby will get the send off it deserves. Thank you for your continued support and love for the series.”

It has now been reported that the final episode will air Tuesday, March 29.
