Call the Midwife is set to air its emotional season 15 finale this Sunday, March 8, on BBC One at 9pm. The episode promises a mix of sadness and celebration, with fans fearing the death of beloved character Sister Monica Joan, played by Judy Parfitt, who was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure earlier in the series.
The show's official Instagram account shared a behind-the-scenes photo of the cast, including the Turner family and Nurse Crane, captioned: 'Sunday's concluding episode of Series 15 has everything; smiles and sadness, humour and heartache, solemnity and celebration.' The post also hinted at a wedding for Rosalind and Cyril, adding to the festive atmosphere.
Fans have expressed their anxiety over Sister Monica Joan's fate, with one commenting: 'It's going to be awful when Sister Monica Joan passes. We all love her character.' Another praised Judy Parfitt's portrayal, calling it 'one of the greatest in television history.'
After the finale, the show will take a brief hiatus, though a 16th season has been confirmed. Creator Heidi Thomas explained the break is needed for set repairs and costume replacements, noting that each series takes 14 months to produce. A prequel series and film are also in development.
