UK drama Call the Midwife will postpone filming due to the coronavirus pandemic.
According to Radio Times, the show is currently slated to return in Britain for a Christmas Special in December 2020, followed by series 10 early in the New Year.
Executive Producer Dame Pippa Harris said in a statement, “Very sadly, we have had to postpone the filming of this year’s Call the Midwife Christmas Special and series 10. Our priority is the safety of our amazing cast and crew, and we don’t believe that shooting at the current time is feasible or responsible.
“However, the moment the situation improves, the nuns and nurses of Nonnatus House will be back on their bikes, bringing babies into the world and joy into your living rooms. We send our warmest love to the worldwide Call the Midwife family, and look forward to being back in Poplar soon.”
A spokesperson for the show added: “On behalf of everybody at Call the Midwife, we wish you all good health xx”
The series screens in Australia through BBC First and ABC.
