GREAT NEWS!

The BBC and Neal Street have announced that production has commenced on Season 15 of Call the Midwife, in co-production with PBS. A two=part Christmas Special, set in Hong Kong and Poplar, will be followed by eight new hour-long episodes set in the East End. The season will premiere on PBS and the PBS App later in 2026.

When senior members of the Nonnatus House staff head to Hong Kong on a mercy mission, the younger midwives are left to cope alone. As the Christmas action shifts between the sun-drenched Far East and a snowy East End, Sister Julienne suddenly finds herself excited about the Order’s future. After years of battling change, she decides to embrace it, work with it, and see what love can do. This change of energy reverberates throughout series 15. The new series kicks off in 1971 with several of the ladies embracing Women’s Lib and burning their bras outside Nonnatus House. As the year unfolds, we see the team handle cases including premature birth, placenta previa, kidney cancer, tuberculosis and slavery.
