The show runners have said they plan to keep going into the 1970s, but they’ve also joked that they’ll stop before anyone has to wear leg warmers. Leg warmers are the show’s natural enemy. So expect more seasons in 1971, 1972, and maybe even the mid-70s. But here’s the million-pound question: Will the nuns ever get a microwave? Probably not. Sister Monica Joan still thinks electricity is witchcraft.
So, to recap: you’re in 1970 now. If you’re worried about missing a year, don’t be. Just enjoy the ride. The only thing more consistent than the timeline is Sister Julienne’s ability to find a cup of tea in a crisis. And honestly, that’s the real magic of the show.
Bottom line: It’s 1970 in Poplar. The miniskirts are getting shorter, the birth rates are getting weirder, and the nuns are still terrifyingly efficient. Now go watch—you’ve got a lot of babies to catch up on.
