Call The Midwife has given viewers a glimpse of the joy, love and hardships of Nonnatus House for nearly a decade – much longer than creator and executive producer Heidi Thomas said she ever expected.
“Certainly, from my point of view I was focused on doing one series and there was never an expectation of doing a second,” Thomas said during a PBS TCA panel on Thursday “I think every year it takes us as surprise.”
Thomas joined Call The Midwife stars Jenny Agutter, Megan Cusack, Ella Bruccoleri and Stephen McGann to reflect on a decade of the PBS drama, which is commissioned in partnership with the BBC. The series, which centers on the sisters, nurses and midwives of Poplar’s Nonnatus House, moves forward with new perspective each year.
Season 10, which PBS shared will debut Sunday, October 3 at 8 p.m. Et, is set in 1966, a trying time for the midwives.

Neal Street Productions has commenced filming on Season 10 of Call The Midwife after the BBC/PBS series was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.
The BBC announced that production on the period drama has begun with a 2020 Christmas special before Season 10 is shot. Neal Street will make seven episodes instead of eight amid Covid-19 constraints.
The All3Media-owned producer has developed “comprehensive protocols” to get cameras rolling again, while a designated coronavirus supervisor has been hired to oversee safety procedures.
Call The Midwife, which is filmed at Longcross Studios, was meant to begin production on its latest season in the spring, but like virtually all major scripted content, it was blown off course by the pandemic.
Executive producer Dame Pippa Harris said: “In such difficult times, the values of Call The Midwife seem more resonant than ever. In series ten we will continue to celebrate the skill and bravery of the...
