'Call the Midwife' Star Laura Main Says Season 15 Is on the Way

Call the Midwife Season 14 has concluded its early release on PBS Passport; however, it still has a couple more installments left on most PBS stations. Even so, fans can already get excited about Season 15. Series star Laura Main, who plays Nurse Shelagh on the series, told Telly Visions that she’s already had her first costume fitting for the next season and the crew is ready to head back to Poplar.

“We’ll start filming Season 15 in a matter of weeks. We’re ahead of the game,” she said ahead of Season 14’s premiere. “I had a costume fitting this week, so it’s just pure excitement.”

This is big news, as there was speculation that Call the Midwife Season 15 would arrive much later, so that series creator Heidi Thomas could work out a spinoff series. Said spinoff is coming and will be set much earlier, around the outbreak of World War II. However, it will wait its turn until after Season 15 airs. Moreover, Call the Midwife will also get a feature-length film set in the current 1970s, followed by Season 16, confirming Main’s implications that time will keep on slipping into the future.
