Call the Midwife

This week on Call the Midwife, Lucille assists an elderly hoarder struggling to maintain her independence and the midwives work to help an immigrant family suffering from an unusual illness. It's also election season in Poplar and Violet Buckle is standing for a seat on the local council.

What was the real life history behind Cath's story in the emotional Season 8 premiere of Call the Midwife?

Welcome back to another season of Call the Midwife. Once again I'll be recapping the events and emotions stirred by the next eight episodes of Season 8. If you need to refresh your memory about what happened during the Call the Midwife special that aired at Christmas, you can take a glance at it right here.

To begin, let's set the scene. We return to Poplar in 1964. It's spring, a time for new attitudes, a bit of sprucing up and lots and lots of babies!

Great news, Call the Midwife fans! Your favorite 1960s nuns and midwives aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Mark your calendars: Season 8 of Call the Midwife premieres this Spring!

The eighth season of the heartwarming period drama will officially begin on Sunday, March 31. (The show was already renewed for a ninth season back in 2016, so no worries on that score.)

Happy Christmas! If you're reading this, you must have just recently watched the latest Call the Midwife holiday special, most likely while enjoying a lovely cuppa with a delicious mince pie or piece of snowman cake. Our friends from Poplar encountered adversity this Christmas season, but kindness and joy outweighed the sorrow.

This holiday season, the Nonnatus Sisters returned to the Mother House to choose a new spiritual leader, care for some newly arrived orphans and help a former resident reunite with her only living family. Meanwhile Trixie came back to Poplar, fashionable as ever and ready to care for her patients better than any hospital. Read on for the rest of the details...

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Yes, enjoying all the attendant holiday fun that comes with the end of any trip around the sun, but it also means it’s time for the annual festive emotional catharsis that is the Call the Midwife holiday special!

The holidays are approaching, which can only mean one thing – it’s time for the very important festive tradition that is the Call the Midwife Christmas special!

While last year’s holiday story dramatized the Big Freeze of 1962, this year’s will focus on the arrival of a group of child refugees from China.

Netflix’s The Crown continues to add to its second generation of royals for its upcoming third season. Call the Midwife’s Emerald Fennell will play the young Camilla Shand, who will ultimately be Princes Charles’ second wife and the Duchess of Cornwall.

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.)
