CALL the Midwife’s future has been revealed by bosses – amid fears it will be shelved and replaced by a spin-off.
The 14th series of the period drama drew to close on Sunday night as a fan-favourite character departed.
Viewers watched as Megan Cusack bowed out of her role as nurse Nancy Corrigan after marrying Roger Noble.
But now fans have been left fearing for Call the Midwife’s future after its creator Heidi Thomas hinted at a break.
She previously told Radio Times: “Those of us who are most invested with the show, cast and producers alike, who have been there since the beginning, it is our lives.
“I don’t believe Call the Midwife will ever end. But I do think we might take a break at some point.”
For now, the BBC hit will stay on air as bosses have confirmed a 15th series will be made – as well as another Christmas special.
Call the Midwife‘s official account posted on social media: “Thank you all so much for watching!!
“See you again soon! x #CallTheMidwife will return with a brand new Christmas Special, and Series 15 in 2026! xxx.”
Fans have been left ecstatic following the confirmation and paid tribute to the cast and crew.
One said: “Thank you for filling my Sunday nights with joy and great acting. Hats off to the women and men!”

Every year #CallTheMidwife brings warmth, drama, laughter and tears brought together by the best cast on TV. Every character is ‘real’. It’s a gift that needs to be protected, wrapped up and opened each Christmas.“
“I swear a Call the Midwife series ends sooo quickly! Thank you for another beautiful season with poignant stories with colourful and lovely characters. See you all again on Xmas day,” said a third.
While a fourth fan said: “Thank you for the excellent finale! But PLEASE don’t split the Christmas Special in two again this year – it’s not the same if it’s not resolved on Christmas Day.”
