Call The Midwife Season 15: Cast, Story & Everything We Know

The beloved British period drama Call the Midwife is officially returning for Season 15, continuing its legacy as one of the most heartwarming and enduring shows on television. Created by Heidi Thomas and inspired by the memoirs of Jennifer Worth, the series follows midwives and nuns serving London’s East End in the mid-20th century. With its compelling mix of drama, humor, and historical relevance, the show has become a cultural mainstay both in the UK and internationally.

BBC Confirms Season 15 Is on the Way

The BBC confirmed that Call the Midwife was renewed not only for Season 14 but also for Season 15 in a double-order announcement back in 2023. This ensures the series will continue into the year 1971 and marks another step toward solidifying its status as one of the longest-running scripted British shows. While there’s no official confirmation for Season 16 just yet, the overwhelming popularity of the show suggests more news may be coming soon.

Executive Producer Pippa Harris called the renewal a “tremendous achievement” and credited the show’s longevity to the dedication of the cast and crew.

Release Timeline for Season 15

Although production updates for Season 15 have been limited, the release timeline remains fairly predictable. As with past seasons, Call the Midwife is expected to return with a Christmas special in late 2025, followed by the regular season debut in January 2026. This tradition has been in place since the series first premiered in 2012 (with the exception of the COVID-delayed Season 10).

Cast: Who’s Returning to Nonnatus House?

While the full cast list for Season 15 won’t be confirmed until Season 14 wraps, several key characters are expected to return:

• Helen George as Trixie Aylward

• Stephen McGann as Dr. Patrick Turner

• Jenny Agutter as Sister Julienne

• Laura Main as Shelagh Turner

• Linda Bassett as Phyllis Crane

• Judy Parfitt as Sister Monica Joan

• Megan Cusack as Nancy Corrigan

• Natalie Quarry as Rosalind Clifford

• Renee Bailey as Joyce Highland

• Cliff Parisi as Fred Buckle

• Annabelle Apsion as Violet Buckle

• Daniel Laurie as Reggie Jackson

• Georgie Glen, Zephryn Taitte, and Rebecca Gethings are also likely to reprise their roles.

As always, the series may introduce new faces, especially as the storyline evolves into the early 1970s.

What Will Happen in Season 15?

Season 15 is set in 1971, a time of significant social and economic change in Britain. With the show’s timeline now moving deeper into the 1970s, viewers can expect to see new challenges that reflect the broader national mood — economic instability, shifting social values, and changes in healthcare. For the midwives of Nonnatus House, these societal changes will influence both their personal lives and professional duties.

Despite the real-world hardships of the time, the series will continue to deliver its signature blend of emotional storytelling, uplifting moments, and historical accuracy. Babies will still be born, families will evolve, and the resilience of the community will remain at the heart of the story.
