Let’s be honest: the news cycle is a mess. You’ve probably spent the last few months staring at your phone, wondering if humanity has completely lost the plot. Then you remember Call the Midwife, and suddenly everything feels a little softer.
This series doesn’t shy away from tough stuff—it tackles poverty, racism, and heartbreaking loss—but it always wraps you in a warm blanket of hope. It’s the rare show that makes you cry happy tears while simultaneously wanting to volunteer at your local food bank.
What’s New This Season? (Spoiler Alert: More Babies, More Heart)
Season thirteen (yes, thirteen!) dives into the swinging sixties with dramatic new challenges. We’re talking about the arrival of the contraceptive pill, which creates both freedom and fierce debate among the midwives.
Plus, you’ll see a new face: Nurse Rosalind Clifford, played by the wonderfully earnest Natalie Quarry. She’s fresh from the motherhouse, all wide-eyed and eager, which means we get to relive that magical "first delivery" experience all over again.
And don’t worry—Sister Julienne’s steely kindness and Nurse Trixie’s impeccable hat game are very much alive and well. Expect at least one scene where you have to pause and grab a tissue.
