Call the Midwife season 14: Release date and latest news
Everything you need to know.
Back in February 2023, it was confirmed that Call the Midwife would be returning for seasons 14 and 15, news which creator and writer Heidi Thomas was "overjoyed" by.
"Call the Midwife is the pride and joy of all who work on it, but it's our fantastic, loyal audience that matters most," she said.
"We are a family behind the scenes, on the screen, and in front of the telly, and I'm thrilled that we're all heading into the 1970s together."
Speaking in August 2022 about how long the BBC drama could run for, Thomas told RadioTimes.com: "The order of nuns on whom the Nonnatus nuns are based stay in the East End until 1976, but I think more importantly than that single historic fact is that of women's lives and the lives of the working classes as well, because increasingly over the years we've written about them, which I think also brings in a fresh dynamic which is always changing.
"There are so many stories to tell, medically, socially, even emotionally, and I think we could keep on going."
