It’s good news for fans of Call The Midwife, the BBC has officially shut down rumours that the long-running series is set to end, reassuring viewers that the beloved drama is “not going anywhere.”
Earlier this week, reports surfaced suggesting that the popular show, which follows a group of midwives in London’s East End during the 1950s and 60s, would come to a close after its fifteenth season in 2026. The speculation caused uproar online, as loyal fans feared the end of one of Britain’s most cherished dramas.
But the BBC has now stepped in to clear things up.
In a statement released Friday, the broadcaster said:
“The BBC would like to reassure fans that Call The Midwife will remain at the heart of the BBC for years to come.
As previously announced, there are two Christmas specials, a new series, a film and a prequel series, before a sixteenth series in due course.
Call The Midwife isn’t going anywhere.”
Since its debut in 2012, Call The Midwife has become a cornerstone of British television, drawing millions of viewers with its heartfelt storytelling, historical realism, and compelling characters. The show has tackled complex social issues including poverty, childbirth, racism, and women’s rights, all while maintaining a devoted fan base.

Set in the post-war East End, the series originally focused on young midwives working alongside the nuns of Nonnatus House. Over the years, it has grown to include a wider cast and deeper storylines, while maintaining its emotional core.
While it’s true that series 15 is currently scheduled for 2026, it will not be the final chapter. With a Christmas special already in production, a new series on the way, and even a full-length film and a prequel spin-off confirmed, fans can rest easy knowing that the world of Call The Midwife is alive and well.
So, despite the whispers of cancellation, it seems we’ll be visiting Poplar for many years to come.
