best cast, crew, and audience a show could wish for, and I could not be more excited about our future.” Charlotte Moore, Director of BBC Content, says: “Everyone at the BBC is delighted

we’re welcoming the nurses of Nonnatus House back for another two series and we’re all looking forward to following our cast through the tumultuous years of the late sixties. "I’d like

to thank the wonderful cast and crew, and particularly Heidi, Pippa and Ann for their continued creative ambition and dedication to such a very special show." Call The Midwife first

a statement: “I am hugely excited by the prospect of creating three more series of Call The Midwife. “In the 1960s Britain was a country fizzing with change and challenge, and there is so

much rich material — medical, social, and emotional — to be explored. “We have now delivered well over one hundred babies on screen, and like those babies, the stories keep on coming! “Above

all else, it is an incredible privilege to work on a show that is made with such care and received with such love.“ The BBC has confirmed that there will be eight episodes of Call The

Midwife season nine, each 60 minutes long. There will also be a Christmas special in 2019 and 2020. Speaking to The Sun, Helen George who plays Nurse Trixie in the medical drama confirmed

there would be ninth series and the 2019 Christmas special will begin filming in two weeks. She said: “We are doing another series. We film for six months, so it's a really nice amount

of time, you're completely knackered by the end of it, around 12 hours days on set. “And we start again in two weeks time, filming the Christmas special. Christmas is coming! “It's

mad but I'm looking forward to it because we don't see each other. You see each other all the time for six months and then you have a break.” WHO IS IN THE CAST OF CALL THE

MIDWIFE? Pippa Harris, the Executive Producer for Neal Street Productions, said: “Like a truly supportive parent, the BBC has nurtured our series from conception onwards, and this

exceptional three-series commission further demonstrates their care and commitment. “It's a testament too to the passion, skill and creativity of Heidi Thomas, and to the dedication,

talent and brilliance of our cast and crew.” Charlotte Moore, Director of BBC Content added: “I’m privileged to have Britain’s most popular drama series on BBC One, and this new three-series

commission underlines our commitment to the show. “Call The Midwife continues to raise the bar with each new series and is really valued by audiences. “The quality and ambition of the

storytelling is credit to the excellence of writer Heidi Thomas, who has successfully brought the show into the 1960s with a diverse range of subjects.” Piers Wenger, Controller of BBC Drama

commented:“Over the last six series Heidi Thomas and Neal Street Productions have grown Call The Midwife from a Sunday night hit into a drama phenomenon. “It has rewarded its large and
