'Call The Midwife' Season 11 to Premiere on PBS In March

Call The Midwife will begin its second decade on the air in 2022, with Season 11 arriving the first Sunday in January. But there's been a bit of a mystery about when it would arrive stateside. With the filming shutdowns and lockdowns of 2020 and 2021, the show's tenth season was delayed in its arrival from overseas, premiering six months later than usual on the first Sunday in October. With the show barely off the air by the end of the year, it was an open question whether PBS would return it to its usual March berth or try and put some space between seasons.

The good news for fans of the midwives and nuns from Nonnatus House is that there will be no delay in bringing the babies back to where they belong. Season 11 is confirmed to be returning to American shores in March 2022, kicking off a stellar lineup of major debuts for spring that will include the return of Sanditon for its highly anticipated second season and the debut of the U.K. remake of Walter's Choice drama Before We Die. That means fans of the show will get a double dose of babies and health issues as the show rounds into the all important era of the late 1960s.

The series will premiere in the U.K. on Sunday, Jan. 2, 2022, on BBC One. Meanwhile, PBS has confirmed the show's return to its usual spot after pledge month at the end of March.
