Published: 9 January 2017
Made by Neal Street Productions for BBC One, Call the Midwife has been one of Britain’s most popular drama series since it launched in 2012 and it continues to be the most watched drama series in the UK, with all five series to date gaining near or over 10m viewers per episode. It was 2016’s most watched drama series in the UK.
It is now 1962, and the Nonnatus House team are as committed to caring for the people of Poplar as always. However, the social revolution in the outside world is mirrored by change and challenge much closer to home. As they strive to help mothers and families cope with the demands of childbearing, disability, disease and social prejudice, our beloved medics must make choices - and fight battles - of their own. Series 6 will see them laugh together, cry together, and pull together, supporting each other as never before.
Three more series of multiple award winning Call the Midwife have been commissioned for BBC One. Series seven, eight and nine will consist of three 8x60’ series and three Christmas specials. These series will take the nuns and midwives right into the mid 1960s.
