Due to the BAFTA Film Awards, the BBC is postponing episode seven of Call the Midwife, which was originally scheduled to air on February 22nd. The show will be on a brief hiatus before its next-to-last episode.
The show announced on Instagram that it will be taking a one-week break for the BAFTA Film Awards. New episodes of Call the Midwife will return on Sunday, March 1st, on BBC 1.
I was so excited to see the latest update! It showed a little clapperboard and said that, like every year, the show will take a break next Sunday because of the BAFTA Film Awards on BBC1. But don’t worry, we’ll be getting episode seven in just two weeks! I can’t wait!
What to Read Next
Fans of the BBC’s period nursing drama were shocked to learn that Nonnatus House, Dr. Turner’s maternity home, and even the beloved Sister Monica Joan are facing difficult times. The show recently announced the closure of Nonnatus House and revealed Sister Monica Joan is seriously ill.
The latest episode, which was delayed, has gotten fans talking and speculating about how the BBC series will end. Many shared their predictions on Instagram.
One viewer expressed concern that Call the Midwife might be ending soon, sharing how much the show means to them. They said they’ve watched it for years and really hope it continues for many more, as it’s become a beloved part of their life.

Another fan agreed, saying it feels like the show is wrapping up all the characters’ stories. While there’s a planned break, they don’t think the show can continue without its key elements – Nonnatus House, the Sisters, and the maternity home.
Another fan expressed happiness about the week-long break, explaining that it delays the series finale and everything they enjoy about the show.
We can enjoy a little more time before dealing with things. I absolutely love Call the Midwife and have been a dedicated viewer since it started.

As a huge fan of Call the Midwife, I’ve been worried about its future, since there’s been so much talk about it possibly ending. But I just heard the amazing news – it’s been renewed for a sixteenth series! And that’s not all – they’re also making a movie and a prequel! I’m so relieved and excited to see what’s next for the show and all the characters we’ve come to love.
I’ve been seeing a lot of chatter online about where Call the Midwife is headed! Some fans, like one person on Instagram, are convinced the show isn’t coming back as we know it. They think the next story will move the nuns to a different country – maybe for a movie – and then a prequel series will start, but it won’t be quite the same as what we’ve been watching. It’s definitely got people talking!

In episode five, Sister Julienne, played by Jenny Agutter, suggested she might leave Nonnatus House, telling Trixie she’d rather work as a missionary somewhere else than compromise her values. While this has led to speculation, there’s been no official announcement about her departure.
The fifteenth series of Call the Midwife continues on BBC1 at 8pm on Sunday, March 1st. You can already watch earlier episodes on BBC iPlayer.
