What Is The Big Update In Call The Midwife?
A recent post on the show’s official Instagram account featured a behind-the-scenes look with the cast at the Nonnatus House dining table, showing the progress of the upcoming season.
The description, “Behind the Scenes on Call the Midwife Series 14: ‘The Room Where It Happens’,” indicates that the cast is far into filming for the upcoming series. The dining room of Nonnatus House is a major setting for the drama, where characters discuss their views and experiences as a group.
While birthing rooms and the streets of Poplar are important, the dining room scenes are seen as essential, allowing for deep, social meditation.
Director of Call the Midwife Syd Macartney is also featured in the photo, imparting advice to the ensemble cast and underlining the necessity of each character’s presence, even in silence. The message promises that the episode depicted in the photograph would have crucial interactions between the characters, promising much for viewers to look forward to.
Last month, the show issued a similar statement, confirming the start of production on the 14th season following the end of filming for the 2024 Christmas special.
What To Expect From The Upcoming Season?
Season 13 of Call the Midwife finished with a period drama set in 1969, and as is typical, the next 14th season will begin the following year, sending the midwives into the 1970s. Heidi Thomas, the show’s creator, confirmed the setting for the forthcoming season, expressing her delight in uncovering stories from the beginning of this colorful decade.
While precise plot details remain unknown, filming for the 2024 Christmas Special began in April, implying that additional screenplay revelations may take some time.
Trixie (Helen George) and her husband Matthew (Olly Rix) struggled financially throughout Season 13. Matthew’s transfer to New York with his young son, while Trixie remained in Poplar, caused difficulties in the family. Trixie, on the other hand, declared her plans to join Matthew in America, presenting fans with an optimistic yet nervous message regarding her future on the show.
Helen George comforted fans by resharing a post from the show’s make-up supervisor, which hinted at her comeback in Season 14. However, Olly Rix’s return as Matthew is less definite, with some sources indicating that he may not reprise his role, while there has been no official confirmation of his departure.
Conclusion
Call the Midwife continues to captivate its audience with its heartfelt stories and beloved characters. The behind-the-scenes update on Instagram has built anticipation for the upcoming 14th season, set in the dynamic 1970s.
As fans look forward to the Christmas special and the new season in January, the return of Helen George as Trixie brings excitement, despite uncertainties about Olly Rix’s character, Matthew. With fresh storylines and emotional depth, Season 14 promises to deliver the same charm and drama that has made the series a favourite.
