The long-awaited 15th season of the beloved period drama 'Call the Midwife' is almost here! But before it airs on PBS, fans can get a head start by watching the first four episodes online. Here's everything you need to know about the show's premiere and how to stream it.
Premiering Soon: A New Chapter in 1971
The new season takes us back to 1971, a time of social and political upheaval. The show's iconic characters, the midwives of Nonnatus House, are embracing the spirit of 'Women's Lib' and burning their bras. But amidst the era's turmoil, they continue to face challenging medical cases, including premature birth, placenta previa, kidney cancer, tuberculosis, and even slavery. It's a testament to the show's enduring appeal that it can balance such powerful themes with the intimate, personal stories of its characters.
