The critically-acclaimed British drama, CALL THE MIDWIFE, returns for Season 11 featuring eight new episodes. The series follows the nurses, midwives, and nuns from Nonnatus House in London’s East End.
Following an eventful holiday special, the series picks up in the spring of 1967, where celebrations are underway for a colorful Easter bonnet parade outside Nonnatus House. Sister Monica Joan and Reggie are excited about the Eurovision song contest, while Cyril and Lucille settle into blissful married life.
Nancy, having just passed her midwifery examinations, is about to don her red cardigan for the first time, and Sister Frances examines a newly married woman who presents some troubling symptoms.
