Season nine is about to start filming, and seasons ten and eleven will consist of eight hour-long episodes each and two Christmas specials.<\/p>\n<p>Pippa Harris, executive producer for Neal Street Productions, said: \u201cWe are delighted and humbled by the continued warmth of the audience response to <em>Call the Midwife<\/em>. It\u2019s a testament to the extraordinary creativity of Heidi Thomas who pours her heart and soul into every episode. We are thrilled that the BBC has put such faith in the show by commissioning two more series and can\u2019t wait to watch our wonderful cast and crew tackling all the social and medical changes which the swinging sixties will bring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heidi Thomas, creator, writer and executive producer, said: \u201cEven after all these years, it still feels as though <em>Call the Midwife<\/em> has more truth to tell, more tears to cry, more life to celebrate and more love to give. We are blessed with the best cast, crew and audience a show could wish for, and I could not be more excited about our future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Charlotte Moore, director of BBC Content, added: \u201cEveryone at the BBC is delighted we\u2019re welcoming the nurses of Nonnatus House back for another two series, and we\u2019re all looking forward to following our cast through the tumultuous years of the late sixties. I\u2019d 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.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BBC One has ordered an additional two seasons of Call the Midwife, taking the show up to 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":10867,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[201,746,2969],"class_list":["post-10866","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc-one","tag-call-the-midwife","tag-neal-street-productions","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
