‘Call the Midwife’ is back: PBS confirms Season 10 premiere date

PBS has finally announced when the next season of Call the Midwife will begin in the US!

The BBC’s hit period drama series about a group of nurse midwives in the East End of London celebrates its tenth anniversary this year.

Airing a bit later in the year than usual following production delays in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, Season 10 only finished filming in February.

The show returned in the UK this spring with seven brand new episodes.

We can now reveal that Season 10 will premiere on American screens at 8/7c on Sunday 3rd October on PBS.

Set in 1966, story lines will include Ted and Violet’s new shop, the World Cup, and the possibility of a different habit for the nuns.

PBS also recently confirmed when Grantchester returns!

The 1950s crime drama’s new season will be airing as part of this year’s Masterpiece Mystery season on PBS, which kicked off last weekend with the fourth season of Unforgotten.

If you can’t wait until September, the American DVD release of Season 10 is already available to pre-order on Amazon here!

The three-disc DVD box set includes every episode from the tenth season, plus 2020’s feature-length Christmas special.

Production on this year’s Christmas special has now been completed, and the team are currently busy filming Season 11 for next year.

As well as Season 10’s premiere date, PBS has also announced that 2021’s festive episode will premiere in the US on Saturday 25th December.

Stephen McGann, who plays Dr Turner, has compiled a wonderful 10th anniversary book which is being published later this year.

Celebrating a decade of love, life and laughter, A Labour of Love: Ten Years of Call the Midwife is the up-close and personal story of Call the Midwife, as told by the cast and crew who made it into the iconic drama it is today.

Season 10 is available to pre-order on DVD on Amazon.
