Listen up, Call the Midwife fans! The BBC has announced it’s almost time to return to Nonnatus House for season 15 – and by the looks of the first pictures, it’s set to usher in a whole new era of social change.
The new season, which lands on UK screens on 11 January, picks up after the dramatic events of the two-part Christmas specials and is set in 1971.
As someone who’s seen a sneak peek of the first episode, I can promise you it has all the heartwarming, joyous and, at times, very moving elements that make this show one of the BBC’s most successful and long-running series to date.
Plus, with a new era unfolding in the 1970s, there’s plenty of new drama for the midwives to contend with, including the Women’s Liberation movement, medical advancements and the question of where Nonnatus House sits within a modernising NHS.

Call the Midwife returns to BBC One in the UK on 11 January and on PBS in the US on 22 March.
