Fans of Call the Midwife are in for a surprise as the thirteenth season of the show returns to Poplar, this time joining our beloved characters from Nonnatus House in March 1969, following the wildly popular Call the Midwife season 12 and Call the Midwife Christmas special 2023.
The drama Call the Midwife has gained a devoted following among viewers worldwide, and fortunately, the show’s future has been confirmed with three more seasons on the way, ensuring we will continue to see it on television at least until 2026.
Creator and writer of Call the Midwife Heidi Thomas OBE said of the upcoming season: “After so many years, our much loved regular cast is like family to me – and our lovely fans so often tell me that they feel the same.” The exquisite moments in Call the Midwife’s thirteenth season, which honors the young and old and the priceless bonds that unite them, are sure to make them as happy as I am.
Though the Nonnatus House neighborhood feels closer than ever following Trixie’s magnificent wedding, real life in Poplar has never been a fantasy. The world of our cherished nuns, nurses, doctors, and midwives will undergo transformation and hardship when 1969 happens. Rosalind and Joyce, two newcomers, have a lot to teach and a lot to learn.
About The Show
There’s no shortage of drama developing at Nonnatus House in terms of future scenarios. Show creator and writer Heidi Thomas once made a playful joke, saying, “The stories we tell are like babies—we love them all, we never stop coming up with new ones, and we promise to give them our all.”
The BBC said on Tuesday, July 4, that Call the Midwife’s thirteenth season will have the same kind of drama that we have grown accustomed to.
According to a formal announcement, Series 13 will continue to examine intricate medical and private cases that arise during district nursing and midwifery rounds. In 1969, there were more births in hospitals than ever before. Maternity bed demand is still very high nationwide, but Poplar is handling it better than most, thanks to Nonnatus House’s efforts and the growing trend of home births conducted under the Sisters’ supervision.
Stories from around the docks and from the Nigerian and Sylheti communities will be featured in this series. Areas of Poplar plagued by impoverished housing persist, posing intricate social and health issues for the Nonnatus team. Concerns about TB, tetanus, porphyria, congenital hip dysplasia, and cerebral palsy will also be covered.
We also know that Trixie (Helen George) and Matthew will be getting settled into married life in season 13. However, there have been rumors that Olly Rix, who plays Trixie’s new husband, has been shockingly removed from the series.
Trixie may be in for more heartache now that The Sun has reported that Olly Rix will be written off. Olly was informed lately that his character was leaving the show, and a source reportedly told The Sun that the cast and staff were shocked and upset to learn of Olly’s departure.
Considering how significant his wedding scenes with Helen were the previous season, they all assumed he was a series regular. Some people believe it’s a little unfair because everyone likes him. It seemed completely unexpected.
The remaining actors are now worried about upsetting the flow of the show, so they are keeping their heads down. The BBC has not yet confirmed Olly’s exit from the program, and it is unclear how his character, Matthew, will go.
