Call the Midwife Season 15 is all set to entertain fans next year.
There are only so many dramas that manage to win the audience's hearts and even fewer that reign fans' hearts for so long. Call the Midwife is one of those rare shows.
Keep reading to explore key details of the upcoming season of the period drama.
Call the Midwife Season 15: Everything you need to know about the upcoming season
The BBC has confirmed a January 2026 launch on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. As is the norm, the show will begin on a Sunday evening. The release date is January 11, at 8 PM. The upcoming season will have 8 episodes.
Call the Midwife Season 15 release date will follow the two-part Christmas special, which airs on Christmas Day and Boxing Day 2025.
BBC usually confirms its January drama schedule several weeks in advance, and this year should follow the same path. Once announced, episodes will also appear on BBC iPlayer shortly after broadcast. This setup gives viewers a choice between live viewing and on-demand access.
Returning cast and some new additions
Most core cast members are set to return. Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) remains the guiding presence at Nonnatus House, and Nurse Crane (Linda Bassett) continues her work in the district. Dr Turner (Stephen McGann) and Shelagh Turner (Laura Main) also stay central to the story.
Trixie Aylward (Helen George) remains part of the ensemble. The BBC has announced no major departures connected to Call the Midwife Season 15.
New characters are expected, often introduced through maternity cases or clinic work. These roles tend to reflect real social issues of the time.
Streaming plans outside the UK
In the United States, PBS will broadcast the season starting March 22, 2026, after its usual delay. The Call the Midwife Season 15 episodes will also be available to stream on the PBS app and PBS Passport.
Netflix viewers will have to wait even longer, as new seasons often arrive several months after airing on PBS. Each region will confirm its broadcast schedule after the likely release timeframe has passed in the UK.
A new decade in Poplar
The story moves into 1971, and that shift brings a new social backdrop. Britain was changing fast at that time, with a growing focus on women’s rights, health access, and public services.
These themes will shape patient stories and community life across the season. This season will still center on childbirth and nursing, but the wider setting will feel more direct and current.
Does this change in risk alter the tone that viewers value? The answer is no. Past seasons showed that the writers can handle serious issues while keeping compassion at the heart of each episode of Call the Midwife Season 15. That balance continues to define the show’s appeal.
