The midwives of Nonnatus House continue to face complex medical and personal dilemmas as the multi-award-winning drama returns for a thirteenth season.

It’s 1969 and more babies than ever are being born in hospital. Pressure on maternity beds remains extremely high across the country. However, Poplar is coping better than most due to the popularity of home births under the auspices of the Sisters. And a new midwife-training scheme sees Nonnatus House welcome a host of new midwives.

The recruits face social problems arising from the docks, concerns among the Nigerian and Sylheti communities and health challenges from Cerebral Palsy, Tetanus and TB.

The multi-award-winning crime drama returns for an exciting 27th series, with five more gripping stories for the team at the Lyell Centre to solve.

Led by pathologist Dr Nikki Alexander and forensic scientist Jack Hodgson, no case is ever the same for the investigators.

A serial killer resurfaces, death stalks a campus, a mummified woman rocks a community, bodies are found entombed underground and deep fakes obscure the truth. As the team use their expertise to unlock the mysterious deaths and help police solve some of their most chilling cases, they are tested to their very limits.
