These days there are few things more certain in British television than new seasons of Call the Midwife. The megapopular period drama about the nuns and midwives serving the poor of London's East End first premiered in 2012, and is still going strong over a decade later, breezing through major historical events and shifting cast members with no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Case in point: Production on the thirteenth season of the series (yes, you read that right) is now officially underway, and its revolving cast is adding two new faces as the show moves into 1969.
In the new season, we'll see Nonnatus House begin a new pupil-midwife training scheme, welcoming two young trainee midwives, Joyce Highland and Rosalind Clifford, to the series' canvas. Both girls are thrilled by this exciting new stage in their careers and move into Nonnatus House, where they become roommates.
Joyce, played by Renee Bailey (Mood), hails from Trinidad and dreams of becoming the matron of a British hospital. The character is described as hardworking, intelligent, and kind, though she has a traumatic past that she will unlikely be able to keep secret forever. Natalie Quarry (Doctors) plays Rosalind, a warm, passionate, and funny young woman who nevertheless boasts an inner steel that will lead her to make some life-changing choices.
