'Call the Midwife' Season 14 to Get Early Debut on PBS Passport

Call The Midwife Season 14 kicked off with a double-helping over the holidays, as the series debuted its first-ever two-part holiday special. As always, the Cristmas Day premiere of the series (which in this case was followed by Part 2 on Boxing Day), is quickly joined on the BBC by the show's regular season, debuting in the U.K. on Sunday, January 5, 2025. For a long time, that meant U.S. viewers had to keep alert for spoilers crossing the pond until the series arrived at the end of March. However, PBS Passport members will not have to wait that long, as the series will once again get an early release on the platform.

As expected, early access to the new season of Call The Midwife has officially been confirmed for 2025. While those who only have PBS on linear or the PBS app on their televisions will still have to wait until the very end of March to watch the new season, PBS Passport members will get a head start, new episodes of Season 14 will debut weekly, one month ahead of their linear premiere.

For those who fast-forward through their local station's pledge drives (or get up and wander off), PBS Passport is the streaming service benefit that comes with a mug and tote bag when you support your local station. For streaming churners, it's $5 for a month; for those who tend to commit to their streaming services longer term, it's $60 for a year. (That's usually the level where the mug/tote bag gets included.) Call The Midwife Seasons 10-12 are currently streaming on PBS Passport, and Season 13 will return to PBS' member service starting on Saturday, February 1, 2025, so it's a perfect time to join.
