Call the Midwife, Season 12, drops a month early!


Call the Midwife, Season 12
has dropped a month early! I'm a fan of the series. FYI, It is not a mystery series, but if you like British TV, you might enjoy this series. Adapted by Heidi Thomas from the best-selling memoirs of Jennifer Worth, this drama series is a moving, funny, colorful look at midwifery and family in 1950s East End London. It follows newly qualified midwife Jenny, who joins an eccentric, lovable community of nuns who are nurses at Nonnatus House. Jenny is surprised to find herself at a convent -- she thought she was being sent to a small private hospital -- and is initially daunted by her surroundings, most notably the formidable Sister Evangelina and the unconventional Sister Monica Joan. But Jenny gradually begins to find her way and develops incredible friendships among the nurses, as they are drawn into the lives and homes of the women and families they treat. 

All seasons are available on PBS Passport and Prime Masterpiece. Past seasons are available on Netflix. Check for other streaming services.

Season 12: It is now 1968, and there are changes in the air. Enoch Powell’s infamous speech casts a long shadow over the borough. Nonnatus House welcomes a new nun to the team, Sister Veronica, who impresses everyone except Nurse Crane.
