The BBC recently made waves in the entertainment world by announcing not just one, but two thrilling additions to the beloved series
“Call the Midwife.”
Fans of the show can now look forward to a feature film and a captivating prequel series that are sure to transport viewers even further back in time.
Picture this: you’re about to embark on a journey through history, guided by the talented minds behind
“Call the Midwife.”
The upcoming film is set to take place in 1972 at an undisclosed overseas location. Imagine our favorite characters from the TV series navigating uncharted territory, facing new challenges, and embarking on adventures that will keep us on the edge of our seats.
But wait, there’s more! In addition to the highly-anticipated film, a prequel series is also in the works. Showrunner Heidi Thomas has promised that this new venture will dive deep into the past, offering viewers an intimate glimpse into life during one of London’s most tumultuous times—the Blitz. Get ready to witness tales of resilience, loss, camaraderie, and hope against the backdrop of wartime Britain.
As we eagerly await these new installments, it’s fascinating to learn that both projects will be helmed by a powerhouse team led by Thomas and executive producers Dame Pippa Harris and Ann Tricklebank. Their collective vision promises to breathe fresh life into familiar faces while introducing younger versions of well-loved characters.
Thomas expressed her excitement about exploring untold stories from decades past. While
“Call the Midwife”
has captivated audiences with its chronicles from 1957 to 1971, she felt compelled to delve even further into history’s annals. According to Thomas,
“The Blitz years in the East End were extraordinary – filled with loss, togetherness, courage and joy.”
One can’t help but wonder about the secrets hiding within this mysterious overseas setting for the film. The shroud of secrecy only adds to our anticipation as we imagine how spectacular it will look on the silver screen. The allure of an unfamiliar landscape beckons our favorite characters away from Poplar—testing their mettle in ways we’ve never seen before.
It’s worth noting that
“Call The Midwife”
draws inspiration from real-life accounts documented by Jennifer Worth—a midwife who served in London’s East End community during tumultuous times. Dame Pippa emphasized that these new projects aim not only to delight existing fans but also capture the hearts of a younger audience who have come to adore these endearing characters.
Furthermore exciting developments lie ahead as Season 15 kicks off with a riveting two-part Christmas special featuring a mercy mission trip to Hong Kong—an enticing preview of what’s yet to come for fans old and new alike.
