The hit BBC show is taking a break after 15 series, but fans can expect more from the drama.
Call the Midwife won the best family drama gong for a 10th consecutive year at the TV Choice Awards last year.
What happens with Call the Midwife now?
While fans have said goodbye after the series 15 finale, it’s not completely over for the show.
That’s because a film and prequel TV series set during the Second World War are being made, according to the BBC.
This means fans will see a pause in the show rather than it being axed altogether.
Speaking to the Radio Times this month, Helen George, who has starred in the show since the first series, said: “It is just a pause, because we know it’s coming back.
“But it won’t be the same, with different characters leaving and whatever.”

Fans were quick to share their thoughts on the final episode with one saying: “Amazing episode but I am totally bereft.
