New Series Could Explore Trixie Franklin’s Early Years
A Call the Midwife spin-off may be in the works as creator Heidi Thomas revealed the beloved BBC period drama could “take a break at some point.”
Speaking about the show’s future, Thomas explained:
“Those of us who are most invested with the show, cast and producers alike, who have been there since the beginning, it is our lives.
I don’t believe Call The Midwife will ever end. But I do think we might take a break at some point.”
While not confirming specific details, Thomas hinted at possible opportunities to “expand” the Call The Midwife world, which could lead to a spin-off series.
Prequel Series Exploring Trixie Franklin’s Youth?
According to The Sun, a potential first spin-off could focus on the “early years” of fan-favourite Trixie Franklin, currently played by Helen George.
With series 14 wrapping up on Sunday, March 2, fans are eager to see what’s next.
BBC bosses have yet to confirm any spin-off plans, but with the show remaining one of the broadcaster’s top-rated programmes, it seems a future expansion is highly likely.
For now, fans will have to wait for official updates, but the idea of a Trixie-centred prequel could bring a fresh perspective to the Call the Midwife universe.
