Is Call the Midwife Canceled? – Everything about Call the Midwife Season 12!

Fans of the BBC nursing drama Call the Midwife are asking when the show would return for a 12th season. The successful series, which has been airing since 2012, contains an annual Christmas special. Fans are eager to discover if there will be another series after the 11th season’s emotional final episode aired recently.

Following the cancellation of Holby City, it is one of the BBC’s few medical dramas left for the watchers to follow. We will not ruin things for anyone who hasn’t seen the program yet, but it looks the show has left fans wanting more.

Season eleven was full of surprises and chaos. The season finale of Call the Midwife sent fans into a frenzy, with a train disaster tying the fates of cherished characters. Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) and the good doctor (aka Stephen McGann’s Dr. Turner) were wounded and confined, and their condition was growing increasingly hazardous.

That was a lot to take in. It’s best to recharge your batteries with a cup of tea as we discuss what the future of Call The Midwife holds.

She continued to talk about the new season, “We have a strong history of the show, but I am sure we will have a more amazing future full of joy and success. The next one will be full of old favorites, new characters, higher hemlines, and new ideas, just like Nonnatus House. The stories we tell are like newborns: they never stop growing, we adore them all, and we promise to do our best for each and every one of them.”

Season 12 will consist of eight hour-long episodes as well as a feature-length Christmas Special. Although 2023 is a long time to wait, viewers will be able to enjoy the show much sooner because Season 11 will also include a Christmas Special.

What happened to Chummy on Call the Midwife?

Miranda Hart, who portrayed Chummy on Call The Midwife, was one of the show’s funniest and most liked cast members.

Camilla “Chummy” Noakes was one of the first nurses at Nonnatus House on Call The Midwife, first appearing in Series 1. Yet, fans of the program will have noted that Miranda has been significantly missing from all recent episodes of the drama, including the most current series – Call The Midwife season nine.

Chummy was last seen on Call The Midwife in series 4 transitioning to a mother and infant unit when she was transferred to a mother and baby ward.

Miranda previously told The Mirror about her departure: “Perhaps Chummy can come back in the next season as an educated, insane 60s hippy having a fling with Paul McCartney.”

“The continued success of Call the Midwife is a monument to the amazing devotion and ingenuity of its creator Heidi Thomas and its producers Pippa Harris and Ann Tricklebank,” said Piers Wenger, Director of BBC Drama.

“We are happy to have guaranteed the future of Call the Midwife for two further seasons beyond those now in development, and look forward to more experiences for the residents of Nonnatus House in the years ahead.”
