Latest season of PBS's popular period drama coming to Netflix on Labor Day

As a seasoned gamer of life, I can wholeheartedly say that the arrival of “Call the Midwife” Season 13 on Netflix is like finding the rarest of loot boxes – a treasure trove of period drama goodness! It’s been a long journey since the initial Christmas Day special in 2023, but Labor Day of this year promises to be even more labor-filled with anticipation.


PBS boasts a variety of captivating period dramas catering to diverse tastes. A standout among them is the highly recommended series Call the Midwife. Eager fans have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of Season 13 on Netflix, and I’m thrilled to share that we are nearing the end of the wait!

On Monday, September 2nd, you can stream Season 13 of “Call the Midwife” on Netflix – an ideal choice for entertaining yourself during your Labor Day holiday, allowing the children to enjoy some outdoor play.

It’s not been too much time since the show premiered on PBS; following the Christmas Day special in 2023, the eight subsequent episodes were aired from March 17 to May 5, 2024. Interestingly, all nine episodes, including the Christmas special, will become available simultaneously on Netflix.

What to expect in Call the Midwife Season 13

If you’ve been unable to watch the current season due to lacking PBS, here’s a general outline of what you might encounter when you finally catch up. Rest assured, we’ll steer clear of significant spoilers in this article.

In the 13th season, Sister Julienne and Shelagh began participating in a fresh midwife training program. Alongside Rosalind and Joyce, they familiarized themselves with the practices of home birth deliveries.

As a gamer, I found myself immersed in a poignant narrative where there were moments of heartache and triumph throughout the season. One such moment revolved around a character who gave birth alone, having been abandoned by her husband. Can you blame her for struggling, when everything she knew seemed to crumble? It’s important to remember that this story unfolds in the 1960s, a time where being a single mother was often met with disapproval.

During this particular season, there’s a newborn with bilateral hip dysplasia. Nowadays, this condition is routinely screened for in hospitals, particularly in the UK, but back then, it was relatively uncommon. So, what would the midwifery team do? (or What will the midwives’ course of action be?)

In the streamer, Season 13 of “Call the Midwife” has now been added to its lineup. Mark your calendars for a special Christmas Day airing on PBS, specifically December 25, 2024.
