PBS transports viewers back to East London on the eve of the Swinging Sixties when the British drama CALL THE MIDWIFE returns to PBS for a third season on March 30, 2014, at 8:00 p.m. ET. Also debuting that night is the second season of MASTERPIECE CLASSIC “Mr. Selfridge,” starring Jeremy Piven, at 9:00 p.m. Joining the lineup on April 13 is the second season premiere of British murder mystery THE BLETCHLEY CIRCLE at 10:00 p.m.
The third season of
CALL THE MIDWIFE, which premiered to a record-breaking audience of 9.6 million viewers in the UK, opens in
1959 as
the winds of change are sweeping through the country.
Throughout
the season, viewers will follow the joys and heartbreak of the midwives
as they continue to care for members of the Poplar community and face
management
changes at Nonnatus House.
Based on the best-selling memoirs of Jennifer Worth,
CALL THE MIDWIFE was created and written by Heidi Thomas (“Cranford,” “Upstairs
Downstairs”) and directed by a line-up of female directors including Thea Sharrock (“The Hollow Crown: Henry V”)
and
Juliet May (“Miranda,” “Scott and Bailey,” “Stella”). The first season
was the biggest new drama on BBC One in more than a decade, and the
second season averaged a consolidated viewership of more than 10 million
in the U.K.
CALL THE MIDWIFE completed its second season run in the U.S. in
May 2013, and audiences and critics in the U.S. were equally effusive,
with Season 2 breaking the top ten spot in ratings on PBS, scoring 58
percent above the 2012-2013 season-to-date primetime
average, and claiming the title of
Top Rated Drama on Amazon.com.
CALL THE MIDWIFE
stars Jessica Raine as Jenny Lee, along with Jenny Agutter (“The Railway
Children,” “Spooks”) as Sister Julienne,
Pam Ferris (“Little Dorrit,” “Darling Buds of May”) as Sister
Evangelina, Miranda Hart (“Miranda”) as Chummy, Judy Parfitt (“Little
Dorrit,”
Girl With a Pearl Earring), who was nominated for a 2013
Satellite Award for her work as Sister Monica Joan, Helen George
(“Hollyoaks,” “Doctors”) as Trixie Franklin, Bryony Hannah (Cemetery Junction) as Cynthia Miller, Laura Main (“Monarch of
the Glen”) as Shelagh and Cliff Parisi (“EastEnders”) as Fred. Vanessa Redgrave provides the voice of the mature Jenny.
CALL THE MIDWIFE (Season 3) full episodes will be available for viewing on the
PBS Video Portal for a limited time after each national broadcast.
