The wait for "Call the Midwife" Season 15 on Netflix is nearing its end for U.S. subscribers. The latest season of the BBC period drama, which has already aired on PBS, will become available on Netflix on Monday, September 7, 2026. All eight episodes will be released simultaneously, allowing viewers to watch at their own pace.
In addition to the new season, Netflix will also release the two-part 2025 Christmas special on the same date. The special episodes, which originally aired before Season 15, see the Nonnatus team travel to Hong Kong to address a crisis at a branch house, followed by a rescue effort that encounters unexpected difficulties.
Season 15 of "Call the Midwife" transports viewers to 1971, a period of significant social and political change. The storylines explore the burgeoning Women's Liberation movement alongside the medical and personal challenges faced by the midwives. Specific plot points in the new season include storylines related to premature birth, placenta previa, kidney cancer, tuberculosis, and slavery. The season features the Nonnatus team addressing concerns about the welfare of young children, a new medical technique that could alter obstetrics, an unusual domestic case, the recovery of a stolen newborn, a family tragedy, and Dr. Turner facing scrutiny. The season also introduces Timothy Turner, newly qualified, joining his father on district rounds, and Sister Veronica confronting a significant personal decision.
Netflix typically releases new content at 12 a.m. PT / 3 a.m. ET on the premiere date. Therefore, "Call the Midwife" Season 15 is expected to be available for streaming at 3 a.m. ET on September 7, 2026.
Prior seasons of "Call the Midwife," Seasons 1 through 14, are currently available for streaming on Netflix in the U.S. The show's arrival on Netflix in September follows a pattern, as Seasons 11, 12, 13, and 14 were also released on the streamer in September.
For viewers in the U.S. who have already kept up with the series via PBS, the season premiered on March 22, 2026, with weekly installments. PBS Passport members had early access to stream episodes before their broadcast debuts.
Looking ahead, "Call the Midwife" has been confirmed for Season 16, with production anticipated to commence in 2027. The series is set to continue its journey further into the 1970s. Beyond the upcoming seasons, the BBC and Neal Street Productions are also developing a World War II-era prequel centered in Poplar, as well as a feature film set overseas in 1972 that will feature returning characters from the series.
