Call the Midwife creator teases 3 options for film revealed at end of series 15

The film’s overseas setting will be revealed in the season 15 finale, with Australia confirmed as one of three options, creator Heidi Thomas said at the 2026 Radio Times Covers Party.

  • Heidi Thomas, Call the Midwife creator and writer, confirmed the feature-length film announced last year will have three overseas location options rather than a single setting.
  • Because hospital births and NHS changes have altered the nurses' work, the BBC period drama Call the Midwife felt an overseas story was narratively fitting during the 1970s timeline shift.
  • At the 2026 Radio Times Covers Party, Thomas confirmed one option is Australia while keeping two locations secret, saying `In the season 15 finale, Sister Julienne names them all, so we won't keep people in suspense for very long`.
  • The production team, led by Heidi Thomas, confirmed that season 16 and a new prequel series launching this Christmas will expand the franchise, with the film's destination to be revealed soon.
  • Fans are told they won't have to wait long, as Sister Julienne's upcoming film location remains unconfirmed, creating anticipation among viewers.
