Renewed: Call the Midwife

BBC drama has been renewed for not just one, but two new seasons.

Call the Midwife has been renewed for not just one, but two new seasons by the BBC.

With series nine about to start filming, the show will now be on air until 2022.

Series 10 and 11 will consist of two 8×60’ series and two Christmas specials.

Call the Midwife continues to be the most watched drama series in the UK. Series eight has averaged nine million viewers per episode, making it BBC One’s biggest show of 2019 so far and the highest rating returning drama across all UK channels this year.

Heidi Thomas, Creator, Writer and Executive Producer, says: “Even after all these years, it still feels as though Call the Midwife has more truth to tell, more tears to cry, more life to celebrate, and more love to give. We are blessed with the best cast, crew, and audience a show could wish for, and I could not be more excited about our future.”

Charlotte Moore, Director of BBC Content, says: “Everyone at the BBC is delighted we’re welcoming the nurses of Nonnatus House back for another two series and we’re all looking forward to following our cast through the tumultuous years of the late sixties. I’d like to thank the wonderful cast and crew, and particularly Heidi, Pippa and Ann for their continued creative ambition and dedication to such a very special show.”

Season 8 is currently screening in Australia Thursday nights on BBC First.

  1. I must say the quality hasn’t really waned much, as happens in most long running series. It is surprising they are able to find more stories. According to the books they are based on, there was less need for the midwives after birth control and other medical changes came in.
    Now if only we can no when abc will be showing last years season.

  2. One of the best shows ever produced. Every episode is brilliantly written and acted. So pleased to hear it has been renewed for three more seasons

  3. Oh gosh, I cannot say enough good things about this show, my absolute favourite…every episode results in tears and smiles or laughs . It is so well written and covers the topics of the time it is set in remarkably well.
