Call the Midwife

In this week's eye-opening episode of Call the Midwife we encounter a girl whose life is compromised by concerns for her reputation as “damaged goods" and two women are afraid to report acts of violence against them for fear of being judged or punished as well. 

This week on Call the Midwife: Fred's good intentions get him into trouble, Timothy Turner schools his father about smoking and a young mother's loveless past makes her unsure of how to love her own baby. Read on for all the details!

For some of the residents of Poplar, it was a week of upheaval. A young man’s dreams are shattered only to be given a second chance. Tears are back full force as Sister Julienne struggles with a tragic birth and, finally, our love triangle that’s been simmering for weeks could be coming to an amicable resolution. Read on for all the details!

This week’s Call the Midwife reliably delivered another dose of medical drama, hope, kindness and innocent romance. Not to mention another unthinkable example of how women suffer for their indiscretions while the men go basically scot-free. Let’s get on with the summarizing, shall we?

Join in the discussion of this week's Call the Midwife recap as the women of Nonnatus House struggle to cope with changing times, tragic family circumstances and matters of the heart. 

Call the Midwife fans, the moment you’ve been hoping for has arrived at last: Star Miranda Hart is officially returning to the popular period drama! 

Hart has played fan favorite Chummy Noakes since the series’ first season, but the actress departed the show at the end of Season 4.  Since then, Hart has been busy wrapping the final season of her sitcom Miranda and starring opposite Melissa McCarthy in the feature film Spy. 

Call the Midwife is back and so are our episode recaps. Join in the conversation about everyone's favorite feel-good British drama.

Mark your calendars: Popular period drama Call the Midwife is set to return to PBS stations this Spring! 

The highly anticipated fifth season will premiere on PBS stations nationwide beginning April 3. Call the Midwife will join a formidable block of British programming on Sunday nights that includes the second season of mystery series Grantchester and the fourth and final run of period drama Mr. Selfridge.

It’s official: The BBC has renewed its popular period drama Call the Midwife for a sixth season, before a single episode of the drama’s fifth run has even aired. (They actually renewed it before the drama’s even aired its latest Christmas installment, if you want to be super technical about it.)

Season 6 will be comprised of a holiday special in 2016, and an additional 8 episodes in 2017.  This season will take the nuns and midwives into 1962.

Previously, on Call the Midwife: In case you need a refresher on where we left things at the end of last season, we have recaps of every episode right this way.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in our favorite East End of London neighborhood, but when we meet up with the nuns and midwives of Nonnatus House it would appear the normally festive season is turning out to be more stressful than joyful.
