'Call The Midwife' Season 10 To Arrive On PBS In October

After months of delay, Call The Midwife is finally back on BBC where it belongs. After managing to get its Christmas special up on time, the regular season, which usually follows directly in January, was delayed by a few months as filming wound down. But once it was ready for action, Season 10 premiered in mid-April over in the U.K., with a slightly foreshortened season (seven episodes instead of eight). That puts the finale to come at the end of May 2021. In non-pandemic times, fans would only have to wait a month (or so) before the show then transferred stateside, but this year will be a little different.

Much of the television landscape is still all at sixes and sevens with delayed seasons, and PBS is no exception. What fans should know, though, is summer's schedule is already pretty much set. Tom Hollander and Saskia Reeves will star in Us in June; Unforgotten returns in July and August accompanied by Ben Miller's Professor T in July and August. The dark comedy Guilt, starring Mark Bonnar and Jamie Sives, will round things out into September. With October the first free space open, it should surprise no one that this is where Call The Midwife will land.

It may be six more months, but there is a light at the end of the birthing tunnel. And until then, there's a trailer. Everybody say, "Babies!"
