Call The Midwife fans have a lot to talk about as the beloved BBC series continues to capture hearts. Since its debut in 2012, the show has delivered 13 remarkable seasons, and while the audience eagerly anticipates new episodes, there’s a whisper of uncertainty about when this period drama might conclude.
This holiday season, viewers can look forward to a special two-part Christmas episode. Unlike the standard 90-minute format, this year’s festivities will air in two segments—one on Christmas Day, December 25, followed by the second installment on Boxing Day, December 26. This exciting duo of episodes revolves around the community’s response to an escaped prisoner while dealing with the onset of Hong Kong flu, all amid the sights and sounds of a local funfair. As the synopsis hints, family dynamics become increasingly complex as the Turners navigate the buzz of a Blue Peter Christmas appeal.
Meanwhile, anticipation is building for Season 14, which began filming in late April. Behind-the-scenes glimpses shared on social media have teased what’s to come, showcasing how the show’s team has been hard at work in their London church setting. The production team is enthusiastic, hinting at a wealth of joy, tears, and heartfelt moments that 1970s Poplar will bring.
Mark your calendars! Series 14 is set to premiere on BBC One on Sunday, January 5, at 8 PM, with a United States release planned for later in March.
As for the future of Call The Midwife, fans can breathe a sigh of relief. The BBC confirmed in February 2023 that the show is renewed through 2026. Executive producer Dame Pippa Harris expressed pride in this achievement, recognizing the tireless dedication of the cast and crew. Creator Heidi Thomas echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the strong familial bond among the entire team.
