00:00You're not ready for what's coming. Because this, this isn't just another episode.
00:04It's not just another quiet moment in Poplar. This is something bigger. Something bold.
00:10Something we never thought would happen until now. The Call the Midwife movie is real.
00:15And it's not just happening. It's taking everything we love and launching it onto the big screen.
00:20So let's talk about what this really means. If you've ever watched even a single episode of
00:24Call the Midwife just one then you know it's not just a show. It's not just actors in period
00:29costumes. It's a feeling. A heartbeat. A place we return to when life feels too fast,
00:35too cold, too loud. Poplar isn't just a setting. It's home. And now, for the first time ever,
00:42that home is coming to the big screen. I mean, can you believe it? After all these years after
00:47so many births, goodbyes, hugs, heartbreaks, and t-shirt in the kitchen they're making a movie.
00:54A real one. And not just a long episode. A cinematic journey. And the most amazing
00:59part? It's going to start right after season 15 ends. That's right we're picking up in the 1970s,
01:05and things are changing fast. Let's sit with that for a second. The 1970s were a huge shift in
01:11healthcare, especially in the NHS. Home births weren't as common anymore. Hospitals were taking
01:17over. The world was modernizing, and that meant everything the midwives believed in,
01:22was being challenged. Their calling. Their identity. It was being pulled apart.
01:27And that's where the movie steps in. Heidi Thomas, the creator the heart behind all of this said
01:32something that just hit me. She said the midwives are taking a break from Poplar to test themselves
01:37in an unfamiliar landscape. I got chills when I read that. Because it's not just a trip. It's a
01:43journey inward. These women these characters we love like family are being asked, who are you when
01:48everything around you changes? Think about Trixie. Oh man, Trixie has been through it all. From
01:54heartbreak to healing. From addiction to redemption. And now, married to Matthew, she's in a new chapter.
02:00But what happens when she's out of her comfort zone? What does her strength look like in a place
02:05that doesn't know her name? I want to see that. I need to see that. And sister Julianne? She's the
02:11anchor. The quiet power. The one who's held everyone together with grace and calm. But even
02:17anchors get tested. Even leaders question their path. What if this movie gives us a raw, unfiltered
02:22look at her doubts? Her hopes? Her fears about what's next? That's the story we deserve. Now,
02:29let's talk cast. Nothing's been confirmed yet, but come on we know who's coming. Helen George's Trixie.
02:36Jenny Agater as sister Julianne. Linda Bassett as Phyllis Crane. Can we talk about how iconic
02:41she is? Rebecca Gethings as sister Veronica, who brings so much heart. Georgie Glenn, Judy
02:47Parfitt, Renee Bailey, Natalie Corey the whole family could be coming back. And if we get
02:52Stephen McGann as Dr. Turner and Laura Manishila? That's a dream. That family has been through
02:57so much, and seeing them on the big screen? It's gonna break us in the best way. But here's
03:02the thing. The movie isn't just about nostalgia. It's not just fan service. It's not just wrapping
03:08things up with a shiny bow. It's a step forward. A leap. It's about legacy. It's about how we carry
03:15the past while facing the future. And that's something we can all feel in our own lives.
03:20Let me break it down real talk. We're all dealing with change. Just like the midwives. We're all
03:25asking ourselves, what now? When the world shifts. We're all trying to hold on to the people we love
03:31while also growing into someone new. And sometimes, like them, we need a break from the familiar just to
03:37remember what matters. That's why this movie matters. It's not just about the midwives.
03:42It's about us. It's about our stories. Our pain. Our strength. Now, I know what some of you might
03:49be thinking what if it doesn't live up to the show? What if the magic of the small screen doesn't
03:53translate to the big one? But hear me out, this is still Heidi Thomas. She's not just a writer.
03:59She's a storyteller. She knows these characters better than anyone. She's carried them from 1957 all the
04:06way into the 70s. She's not going to let them fall flat. And neither will Pippa Harris, and Tricklebank,
04:12or the whole Neal Street team. They've done this for over a decade. They know how to honor it. And
04:17look, even the BBC film director, Eva Yates, said it herself this story is expanding. The world of
04:24Call the Midwife is getting bigger. Louder. Bolder. And that's not just exciting it's powerful. Let's
04:30imagine for a second what this movie might look like. Sunlight filtering through a train window
04:34as Trixie stares out at a world she's never seen before. Sister Julianne, standing still in the
04:40middle of a noisy hospital, feeling like time just stopped. Phyllis Crane, holding someone's hand in
04:46silence, tears rolling down her face. A moment of birth. A moment of death. A moment of truth.
04:52Because that's what Call the Midwife does best. It doesn't just tell stories. It tells real stories.
04:58Human stories. Ones that make you laugh, cry, feel seen, feel alive. And now it's going to do that
05:05with cinema level beauty. Music. Lighting. Emotion turned up to 11. You know what else I love? That
05:12they're keeping the location secret. That means we're in for a surprise. Maybe a countryside. Maybe
05:18another country. Maybe a place that mirrors what they're feeling inside lost, uncertain, hopeful.
05:23I don't need spoilers. I just need heart. And this film's gonna have it. And now, let me talk to you
05:30yeah, you. If you've ever cried during a Christmas special, if you've ever paused an episode just to
05:35breathe, if you've ever felt like Nanata's house was your safe place you were a part of this.

06:04release date yet, one thing's for sure it's coming. And when it does. We'll be ready. Popcorn in hand.
06:10Hearts wide open. But before we wrap this up, I want to leave you with this. Stories like call the
06:16midwife don't just entertain us. They remind us who we are. They remind us to slow down. To care.
06:22To listen. And in a world that's always rushing that's a gift. So when that movie finally hits
06:28theaters. Go. Bring your mom. Bring your sister. Bring that one friend who cries at everything.

06:41kindness still matters. That people still care. That birth, life, love it's all still sacred. And if you

07:09And I'll be right here, waiting, counting down the days, ready to cry right alongside you when that
07:14first scene fades in. This is more than just a movie. It's a memory waiting to happen. And hey,
07:20before I go I want to say something really important. This isn't just about a film announcement.
07:25It's about holding on to something that makes us feel human again. Because let's be real,
07:30life gets messy. The world moves too fast. Most of us are just trying to make it through the day
07:35without falling apart. And sometimes, all it takes is one moment, one scene, one line from a show like
07:42Call the Midwife to remind us we're not alone in this. That's why this movie matters so much.
07:46It's not just because we love the characters. It's because we see ourselves in them. We see our
07:52moms, our grandmothers, our own struggles, our own courage. We see that even in the hardest moments,
07:58we can still show up for each other. We can still care. Maybe that's why Call the Midwife has lasted
08:04all these years. Not just because it's well written though it is. Not just because the performances
08:09are incredible though they are. It's lasted because it speaks the truth. The deep, emotional truth that
08:15says, life is hard, but love still matters. So when this movie comes out, I want us to show up.
08:21I want us to fill the theaters. I want the cast and crew to feel the love. Because they gave us
08:26something special something rare. And this is our chance to give back. Drop a comment right now if
08:31this show ever helped you through something. Or if there's a character that means the world to you.
08:36Let's fill this space with stories, with hope, with love. Because this isn't the end.
08:41It's a beautiful new beginning. And we're all a part of it. Who's ready to go back to
08:46Nanata's house one last time?
