Call the Midwife has been a benchmark of British television ever since its premiere in 2012, presenting mid-20th-century East London with respect for healthcare, social issues, and community. Call the Midwife has been able to attain a devoted fan following from its gripping storylines, historical accuracy, and emotionally stirring storyline.
With the show currently in its fourteenth season, the audience can't help but wonder what the future holds for their favorite characters and the Poplar community. Stephen McGann, who has been playing Dr. Patrick Turner, has recently teased "so much change" on Call the Midwife. As per Collider, he said,
"There is just so much change coming. What you’ve seen in Call the Midwife in the last year or two is people coming, whispers of change, it’s kind of like, without saying any spoilers, it does get real. There’s some stuff that is coming over the hill that is really real."
While he did not reveal actual plot points, what he has to say implies significant emotional and story beats that could reshape storylines for returning characters. Let us see what is known and what one can expect with the ongoing series.
Call the Midwife Season 14: Setting the stage in 1970
Season 14 is set in 1970, a time of British social and medical reform. The series continues to address such issues as single parenthood, changing mental illness awareness, and diseases such as spinal lesions, all in keeping with its record of finding a balance between factual accuracy and good drama.
Filming for this season began well before its March 30, 2025, premiere on PBS in the United States and BBC in the UK. It was broadcast weekly until mid-May 2025, when viewers were able to track the steady advancements of Poplar midwives and their folk.
Stephen McGann dangles coming changes
Stephen McGann had the viewers look forward to great things on the show, with new storylines being emotionally demanding and maybe a surprise. According to TV Insider, spilling nothing, McGann continued to explain how the show would still have its characters grappling with personal, professional, and societal dilemmas, remaining period and character-specific.
That is a lot to anticipate in the way of new character arcs, surprises, and further exploration of issues of the day on the show's 1970s backdrop.
BBC confirms series will continue beyond season 15
In spite of the previous speculation that Call the Midwife would run to its fifteenth season before its end, the BBC indicated that the show will continue beyond that. The network has gone ahead and committed to keeping the show on the air so that the doctors, midwives, and residents living in Poplar are kept at the top of the television in Britain.
This decision reflects the ongoing popularity of the show and its consistent ability to resonate with audiences through compelling, socially aware storytelling.
Future projects: Feature film and prequel series
Call the Midwife universe is growing. There is a 1972-set movie that has been greenlit with the series characters featured in another setting. There's also a prequel show that has been in production, set during World War II.
These scripts provide the possibility of learning about a number of different eras in history and increasing viewer sensitivity to the world and characters in Call the Midwife.
Increased cultural and historical relevance
Call the Midwife stands out with the power of blending history, reality, and down-to-earth storytelling. The series informs the audience while producing an effective drama with emphasis on the social and medical concerns of mid-20th-century Britain. Its ongoing strength lies in the well-balanced combination of characterization of the individual, community life in a local area, and broad issues of society, so that it can inform and relate to contemporary audiences.
With productions in development for upcoming seasons, a feature film, and a prequel, the series is far from dying out. There's even more to look forward to with deeper insight into social issues, period detail, and tear-jerking storylines that have swept the show since 2012.
Overall, Call the Midwife is dedicated to carrying on from Season 14, and filming has already begun for further seasons and new production updates, including a film and a WWII prequel series.
