Overview
- The BBC confirms Season 15 will debut in the UK on Sunday, January 11, 2026 at 8 p.m. on BBC One, with North American broadcasts on PBS beginning March 22.
- First-look images show characters leading a Women’s Liberation march with bra‑burning outside Nonnatus House, and episode one includes a women’s lib meeting alongside new medical and social cases.
- Jenny Agutter says the new run feels darker and less cosy, as Nonnatus House faces pressure to conform to NHS and council expectations, with questions over habits versus uniforms.
- Creator Heidi Thomas and producer Pippa Harries confirm there will be no traditional 2026 Christmas special, with a World War II prequel set in Poplar taking the festive slot.
- Producers are developing a 1972‑set film featuring series characters, with Australia cited by Thomas as a likely location, as the team retools the franchise for the next phase.
