Call the Midwife's Humpty-Dumpty, fairytale-style wedding saw Trixie get hitched to Matthew in a ceremony littered with calamity. Still, it was the dream wedding of sorts and the perfect way to cap the season with a street party that brought the two back to the heart of Poplar (aka Nonnatus House) to cut their cake.
Sounds ideal right? However, there were still plenty of loose strings and burning questions left unanswered that have fans dying to know when the next season will be on screens.
Here's what we know about Call the Midwife season 13.
Call the Midwife season 13 potential release date: When's it on?
Thankfully, it's not a case of if the show is coming back but when, as Call the Midwife has been renewed until 2026.
That means more babies, more drama and more complex social issues.
The show's creator Heidi Thomas all but promised more emotional stories are on their way while saying: "We are a family behind the scenes, on the screen, and in front of the telly, and I'm thrilled that we're all heading into the 1970s together."
The show's executive producer, Dame Pippa Harris, chimed in: "[The renewal is a] tremendous achievement and it's a testament to the passion and dedication of our cast and crew, of whom I'm very proud."
It's also been confirmed that seasons 14 and 15 will follow the same format as the previous seasons, with an eight-episode run of 60 minutes each. We assume season 13 will be no different.
Despite the tight lips concerning the release date, it seemed likely the show would follow its usual pattern, which meant a 2023 Christmas episode followed by a new season release in 2024.
And it turns out our instincts were correct! A release date announcement came via the series' official Instagram confirming those dates, as well as the start of production.
"BREAKING!! It's official – Call the Midwife has begun filming for Series 13!!" the post's caption reads.
"We bring these pics straight from our filming set, where our intrepid Buckles, accompanied by the lovely Cyril, have the honour of beginning Series 13 with the opening scene!!"
"Actors Cliff Parisi, Zephryn Taitte and Annabelle Apsion were on hand to posing for our traditional clapperboard shot, while the marvellous Daniel Laurie (Reggie, pictured) was waiting in the wings to begin his year's work with the family:-)"
"We have SO MUCH to show you - beginning with our Christmas Special - so stay tuned!!"
