Call the Midwife fans are over the moon as the BBC series made a huge announcement ahead of the series 12 finale episode.
The series 12 finale is set to end with a bang as Trixie and Matthew plan to tie the knot, but will the big event be as smooth sailing as they hoped?
However, as the BBC season is nearing its end, what does the future hold for the period drama?
Will BBC Call the Midwife continue after series 12?
Call the Midwife’s future has been confirmed by the BBC, as the show made an exciting announcement on Twitter.
The show’s current run, series 12, has one episode left with the finale airing on February 26.
And as the series comes to end, the fate of fan-favourite Sister Monica Joan hangs in the air.
In episode 7, Judy Parfitt’s character alarmed viewers as she fell terribly ill.
The beloved character was diagnosed with Hepatitis and showed no signs of recovery.
Her last words in the episode were: “Perhaps you can let me be,” but will she be able to pull through?
So will there be another season?
BBC’s Call the Midwife revealed that they’ve been commissioned to run up to 2026.
This means that we can see at least two more seasons of the popular medical drama.
