About Call the Midwife:
The show is set in London’s East End during the 1950s and 60s. Call The Midwife follows Jenny Lee, a newly qualified midwife who joins an unconventional nursing order named Nonnatus House. Her new home is located in Poplar, where she meets three other nurses along with Sister Julienne, their “matron.”
Release date:
The release date for the tenth season of Call, the midwife, has not been announced yet, but it is expected to be on screens in 2022.
Production:
Call The Midwife was created by Heidi Thomas, who drew inspiration from the memoirs of Jennifer Worth. In 2012, she said that if a season two were to be made, it would need to go in a “different direction” as most plotlines had been drawn from the books. Tim Fywell directed early episodes of series one and four; he was replaced by Michael Engler.
For nearly a decade, 'Call The Midwife' has given viewers a glimpse of the joy, love and hardships of Nonnatus House. Season 10, which will debut Sunday, October 3, promises new storylines with heartwarming sincerity viewers have come to enjoy.

Reviews:
The new season will be set in 1964, and I’m excited about having war babies as part of this series. The show is based on Jennifer Worth’s best-selling trilogy, which is also known as ‘the midwife books.’
These give an insight into her experiences with birth and life in the East End. We are looking forward to seeing who will be joining us on set this season! Call The midwife is one of my favorite shows that I watch religiously every week when it airs live. I hope you are also excited for series ten, don’t forget to leave your reviews in the comments!
Rating:
We would give this show a rating of four stars out of five. It has great plotlines, and I love how they incorporate history into their episodes, making it interesting for viewers who are not aware of that time period. Overall, I think ‘Call The Midwife’ is a great show to watch with family and friends that keeps you interested the entire time.
