“Like Nonnatus House itself, we have a proud past but an even more exciting future - full of old favourites, fresh faces, higher hemlines, new ideas. The stories we tell are like babies - they never stop coming, we love them all, and we vow to do our best by every single one.”
As fans of the show will know, Call the Midwife series 10 will be hitting our screens this Sunday, April 18, at 8pm on BBC One. This tenth season was unfortunately delayed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, however, we’re sure it will have been worth the wait.
BBC have released a dramatic teaser trailer hinting at quite a few heartrending storylines which we can look forward to watching unfold this season. So, deep breaths everyone — the midwives are coming!
