Fans of the beloved BBC series “Call the Midwife” are rejoicing as the show is set to return for its thirteenth series. The long-anticipated premiere is scheduled for Sunday, January 7, following the Christmas Special.
“Call the Midwife,” which made its debut in 2012, is based on the books by Jennifer Worth. It vividly portrays her experiences as a midwife in London’s East End during the 1950s. Over the years, the show has garnered a dedicated global following and is committed to producing new episodes until at least 2026.
Series 13 promises to be as emotional and moving as its predecessors, introducing new characters and storylines. Among the fresh faces are pupil midwives Joyce Highland and Rosalind Clifford, who will join the dedicated team at Nonnatus House. However, some familiar faces will be noticeably absent from the series, with Nurse Lucille, portrayed by Leonie Elliott, officially announcing her departure from the show in 2023.
In this latest instalment, Nonnatus House embarks on a new training scheme. The Radio Times reveals that one of the newcomers will face a challenging home birth with complications that put both the mother and baby’s lives at risk. Sister Julienne will provide care for an expectant mother with cerebral palsy, while Reggie devises a plan to unite the community.
“Call the Midwife” series 13 will transport viewers back to 1969, a time marked by significant medical advancements and shifting political views in the UK.
