About Call The Midwife
The BBC has renewed Call The Midwife through Season 9. As above, the period drama's eighth season will premiere January 2019 on BBC One in the UK, followed in March 2019 on PBS in the US.
--
Made by Neal Street Productions for BBC One, Call the Midwife has been one of Britain’s most popular drama series since it launched in 2012 and it continues to be one of the most watched dramas in the UK, with all six series to date gaining over 10m viewers. The latest Christmas Special went out on Christmas Day and was the most watched show on the day for a second year running.
In series seven, the nuns and nurses find themselves tested, both personally and professionally, as never before. It’s 1963 and all around them they see the old East End vanishing, as slum clearances make way for bold new tower blocks to accommodate expanding communities. Their work brings them into contact with a wide range of challenging issues, from Leprosy to Stroke, Cataracts, and unmarried mothers.
Trixie’s romance with Christopher continues to develop, whilst Tom and Barbara enjoy life as a married couple. Nurse Crane finds her authority questioned from an unexpected quarter, and Sister Monica Joan is forced to accept her failing faculties. And life for the Turners is turned upside down when Shelagh decides to employ a Hungarian au pair!
Joining as a new cast member is Leonie Elliott, who plays Nurse Lucille Anderson, the first West Indian midwife to feature as a regular character in the series. Elegant, funny and clever, Lucille is swift to settle in, and brings a fresh new energy to life at Nonnatus House. Through her eyes we explore the experiences of Caribbean nurses who came over in the 1960s to support the growing NHS.
Series seven of the multi-award winning Call The Midwife consists of 8x60’ episodes, and with series eight and nine also confirmed, the show will continue to follow the lives of the Nonnatus House community well into the mid 1960s.
Call the Midwife is THEE most charming television show EVER!! However, I sobbed like a baby when writers killed-off Barbara!! Whyyyyyyyyy????? This is one American who LOVES BBC on Netflix!!!!
I absolutely love this show!!!! So happy to see it has been renewed through season 9!!!! Please keep it coming, season 10, 11, 12……..!!!!
I started watching on PBS each summer with my Mom, Peggy Bartlett, when I visited for her birthday week. Last year she had cancer at age 85. I started purchasing the seasons as they come available on Amazon so we can have our weekly binge. I found the show searching British series because Mom loves Keeping up Appearances and Last of the Summer Wine (she watched with her late husband and owns both DVD collections).
I was born youngest of 4 in 1962 (USA), but it still brings back memories for Mom. We’ve enjoyed the laughter and the tears. We LOVE all the characters. Mom and I have what we call “Sister Evangelina-isms”. Quotes from the dear Sister that ring true in everyday life.
Thank you for continuing the show. Mom has promised me another 10 years, each moment is precious. I am thrilled we will have another year of bonding with Call the Midwife.
I too am a complete anglophile even though I misspelled the word. I have a recommendation for you. The BBC shows Miranda, The Vicar of Dibley, and last but not in the least bit least: Mrs.Brown’s boys. I watch more BBC than American shows these days.. I have others that are hilarious too: Good Neighbors, As Time Goes By,.If you want any more recommendations just look up my Facebook to contact me.Michelle
Love is show best ever !! Feels like family !!!
Yes!!! I LOVE this show!!!! I am so excited that it is coming back in January 2019!!!! I hope it runs forever!!!!!
When is the 2018 Christmas special?
Love this show I was introduced to it in 2016 and so love it, keep it coming back, the actors are absolutely awesome. I watch in on PBS I’m from Harlingen, Texas way SOUTH near the border of mexico.
I hate it that I love the show so much, because my favorites keep leaving and it makes me sick. Don’t know how much more I can take. Contracts, people!
Want to know when call of midwife starts in USA an time chanel
Best Series EVER LOVE, could watch over and over!!
I absolutely adore Call the Midwife! I thought I would die when I realized Jenny had stepped away from the show… then Sister Avageline…OMG!, but then dear Barbara. I am only supposing that this tragedy marks Tom and Phyllis in a way that they move forward for the high spirited character of Barbara. I’m American, but connected fondly to Britain. “Well done!” writers, producers, actors and staff. “Well done!”
Have watched all seven seasons here in the USA. On the local PBS station. It makes me laugh, and cry. Can’t wait to see season 8 here. Its one of the best shows for all family members to watch. Please keep it going long, and strong. Sincerely a weekly viewer. Thank you all involved in the making of this fine program.
