Call the Midwife has become one of the longest-running British dramas, having aired 14 seasons since its inception in 2012. The period drama follows the lives and challenges of nurses and midwives in the neighborhood of Poplar.
When the series started, the narrative was set in the 1950s, which has now entered the 1970s. The 14th season of the show recently finished airing in the US on PBS and ended on a high note.
This has left the audience wondering if and when there will be a Call the Midwife Season 15. Audiences would be happy to know that the show has already been renewed for another season by the BBC, so it will definitely return soon.
