Fans of the globally beloved series can breathe a sigh of relief as the BBC reassures them that the show will continue to be a central figure in its programming for years to come.
Speculation Turns to Reality
The rumors began to spread like wildfire when the Daily Star reported that the series would end with its 15th season, scheduled to air in 2026, and potentially move into a film format similar to “Downton Abbey.” The report also suggested that the production of a film set overseas in 1972 had already been decided.

She further elaborated, “I have never run out of stories about midwives, and I will never run out.” Thomas also teased that the prequel series will feature familiar characters in their younger years, adding to the excitement and anticipation for what’s to come.
Looking Ahead
As the main series progresses into the 1970s, Thomas feels it is the perfect time for beloved regulars to leave Poplar and test themselves in unknown places. Details about the prequel, a special Christmas episode set in Hong Kong, and the film will be released in the next few months, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
The series is currently streaming on U-NEXT and Prime Video, ensuring that fans have easy access to their favorite midwives and their compelling stories.
