New student midwives will join Nonnatus House as production on the 13th series of Call The Midwife begins, including a 90-minute Christmas special for 2023. The new series, which will be set in 1969, will consist of eight hour-long episodes to air in 2024.
The 13th series of the period drama about midwives in east London will see the return of the main cast, including Jenny Agutter, Stephen McGann and Helen George, while two new pupil midwives will join Nonnatus House, played by Renee Bailey and Natalie Quarry. Bailey will play Joyce Highland, from Trinidad, who aims to become matron of a British hospital. She is hardworking, bright and kind, with a traumatic past that she cannot conceal forever.
Quarry will play Rosalind Clifford, who is young, warm, passionate and funny. While she may seem naïve at times, she has an inner steeliness that will lead her to make some life-changing decisions.
