Call the Midwife has reason to celebrate, having scooped up the Best Drama award at the 2025 Television and Radio Industries Club (TRIC) Awards on Tuesday (June 25) evening.
The thrilling news was shared on social media by the show’s official account, which posted a series of photos from the event, including one featuring several cast members accepting the award on stage.
The caption announced:”NEWS!! Call the Midwife wins Best Drama at the 2025 Television and Radio Industries Club Awards !! We bring news hot from the Grosvenor House Hotel on London’s Park Lane, where Call the Midwife has clinched the Drama prize at this year’s TRIC awards!!”
The post went on to detail the stiff competition the drama had overcome, stating: “CTM beat Bridgerton, Baby Reindeer and All Creatures Great and Small to the coveted drama prize – voted for by UK TV viewers.
“Call the Midwife had won the prize just once before, all the way back in 2013, so we were particularly delighted to be recognised again after so long!”
The caption revealed that despite a “very busy filming schedule”, cast members Zephryn Taitte, Cliff Parisi, Annabelle Apsion, Laura Main, Stephen McGann and Georgie Glen made an appearance to represent the series.
The post concluded with a heartfelt thank you: “Thank you to everybody who voted! We are deeply moved that we still have your sterling support after all these years! Call the Midwife returns with a new Christmas Special and Series 15 in 2026.”
Fans flooded the comments section with messages of congratulations, with one individual writing: “Well deserved!! So thoughtfully written and acted!! Well done!!” while another added: “Huge congratulations to all, so well deserved. Just a fantastic show.”
Currently, filming is in progress for the new series, which will grace our screens with a two-part Christmas special this December, followed by eight fresh episodes in January 2026.
The festive special will be set in both Poplar and Hong Kong, as senior members of Nonnatus House embark on a mercy mission across the globe, leaving the younger nurses to manage affairs back in London.
In an unexpected turn of events, Sister Julienne finds herself “excited about the Order’s future”, according to the synopsis.
“After years of battling change, she decides to embrace it, work with it, and see what love can do. This change of energy reverberates throughout series 15.”
The forthcoming season, commencing in 1971, sees several women embracing Women’s liberation and burning their bras outside Nonnatus House. As per tradition, viewers can anticipate the programme addressing a variety of pertinent issues, including premature birth, placenta previa, kidney cancer, tuberculosis and slavery.
Call the Midwife will return with a Christmas special, followed by series 15 in 2026.
