Call the Midwife Season 14 concluded on Sunday, May 18, bringing with it new weddings and new babies among the Nonnatus House community. There’s no need to worry about the show’s future, as the beloved series was renewed through Season 15 back in 2023 and for Season 16 in May 2025. But when does Call the Midwife Season 15 premiere in the U.S. on PBS? Here’s a recap of the Season 14 finale, plus everything we know about the upcoming episodes as well as a prequel series and film!

How did Call the Midwife Season 14 end?

The finale kicked off with Nancy (Megan Cusack) and Roger (Conor O’Donnell) returning to Poplar for their wedding. But their lodging plans at Nonnatus House got changed when a fire prompted a group of mothers and babies to come stay with the nuns and nurses. Nancy and her daughter, Collette (Francesca Fullilove), were welcomed to stay with Miss Higgins (Georgie Glen). A wedding dress fitting prompted Nancy to reveal that she was 7 months pregnant. Nancy was nervous about how the nuns would feel about her being pregnant before she was married, and she also had yet to reveal the baby news to Collette. Nancy and Roger eventually told her the news, and she was ultimately excited to become a big sister.

Out on another job, Sister Veronica noticed the romantic connection between Rosalind (Natalie Quarry) and Cyril (Zephryn Taitte), whose blooming relationship was first teased in the Season 14 premiere. Trixie (Helen George), meanwhile, was on her way to America to be a bridesmaid in Matthew’s friend’s wedding.

The morning after Nancy’s hen night, she woke up feeling ill. Phyllis (Linda Bassett) worried that Nancy might’ve been more than 7 months along in her pregnancy. Paula, the pregnant teen who Rosalind’s been looking after all season, gave birth in the finale, and thankfully her mother had a change of heart and welcomed her daughter back home. The baby was put up for adoption so Paula could return to her childhood. Nancy also gave birth to her and Roger’s daughter, who they name Melinda, in the back of an ambulance. Later, as their wedding ended, Cyril kissed Rosalind for the first time in the thrill of the moment, making for a happy ending for the Nonnatus House family.
