'Call the Midwife' Renewed For Seasons 10 and 11

Great news, Call the Midwife fans! Your favorite 1960s nuns and midwives aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Following the U.K. airing of the Season 8 finale, the BBC announced that the popular period drama has been officially renewed for an additional two seasons!

The medical drama follows the story of a group of nurses and midwives in the economically disadvantaged East End neighborhood of Popular. But Call the Midwife is more than just a story of nurses and doctors, the show also really digs into the social issues of the time period, exploring how they affect women of all backgrounds and social strata. (It’s also almost guaranteed to make you cry on a weekly basis, so just know that going in.)

Given the fact that the show was renewed through its ninth season back in 2016 – which should start filming later this spring – this means that Call the Midwife is now confirmed to air through at least 2022. (The BBC also confirmed that a Christmas special will come along with each of the new full seasons.)

In short: That’s a lot of babies to deliver!
