PBS Releases the First Official 'Call The Midwife' Season 13 Preview

Call The Midwife Season 13 has aired its finale in the U.K., with happy tears, sad endings, and a whole lot of spoilers I will not list here. As everyone knows, that means for U.S. viewers, the debut of the new season is right around the corner. While British fans have to settle in for the long wait until Christmas and watch for filming news for Season 14, here in America, we're celebrating the arrival of PBS' official trailer for the return of Call the Midwife to kick off the British TV line up on Sunday nights.

There are many rumors about what will happen in Season 13, including many concerning Trixie and Matthew's marriage. I know we even mentioned one on our podcast. However, this trailer does not give any hints about those storylines, and, moreover, our posts will not spoil anything until it has aired live here in the U.S., so please keep that in mind if you are a PBS Passport member watching the series on early access.

The new trailer does give fans one brand new thing to chew on, though, and it's a positive one: the new arrivals to Nonnatus House. For Season 12, Call the Midwife only brought aboard one new addition, Rebecca Gethings (The Serpent Queen), who plays Sister Veronica, expanding the sisterhood contingent. This year, for Season 13, the series will add two new characters on the midwife side of the residence: trainees Joyce Highland, played by Renee Bailey (Mood), and Rosalind Clifford, played by Natalie Quarry (Doctors).
