"As the classic Call the Midwife series moves further into the 1970s, it also seems the perfect time for our much-loved regulars to take a short break from Poplar and test themselves in an unfamiliar landscape," said creator Heidi Thomas when it was first announced in May last year.
Thomas has kept her lips firmly sealed as to which faces we'll be seeing in the feature, while revealing Australia is a strong contender for the setting. However, during an interview at the Radio Times Covers Party 2026, she revealed that two other options are also under consideration.
"I'll keep under wraps for now," Thomas added, going on to say that in the season 15 finale, "Sister Julienne names them all, so we won't keep people in suspense for very long."
As well as a Call the Midwife movie, fans will also have season 16 of the BBC period drama to look forward to, along with a Call the Midwife prequel series set during World War Two, which is due to debut this Christmas.

"I think the interesting thing for me is it's a world where women are not in charge when war breaks out, but very rapidly, they are in charge of everything because the men are called away, either to Home Front-based war work or they go overseas," she expanded.
"Everything changes and nothing changes," said Thomas when acknowledging that shared trait with the current series.
With the main Call the Midwife series set to draw to a close sooner rather than later, it remains to be seen whether Thomas will continue the prequel for multiple seasons or move on to another project entirely.
