A spokesperson for the show shared, "Since our tumultuous season 12 finished airing at the end of February, our intrepid team have been grabbing the chance to rest up, relax, or else fit in some quick theatrical work before filming commences again!" "But today marked an important celebration – our team gathered at a plush venue in the west end of London for their first get-together before the cameras roll again and the scripts drop through the doors." The spokesperson confirmed the cast reunited in April for a meal that was full of "speeches, lots of laughter, and many reunion hugs". "Meanwhile, the costume fittings have begun, locations are being scouted and sets painted – all in readiness for our brand new collection of stories!" they teased. Call the Midwife will return on December 25th for the Christmas special. The 13th series will air in early 2024.
