Though we’re still a few months from the return of popular period drama Call the Midwife, filming on its upcoming season has been underway since May.

The drama was renewed through Season 9 back when it was only airing Season 6, so we haven’t – and won’t – need to worry about its fate for some time. (It honestly feels like a show that could go for as long as they can keep updating the cast every few years.)

Fenella Woolgar, Ella Bruccoleri and Georgie Glen will join the regular cast for Season 8, as Sister Hilda, Sister Frances and new receptionist Miss Higgins, while Harry Potter actress Miriam Margolyes will appear in the 2018 Christmas special and the first episode of the new full season.
