For those unaware, the series is set back in the 1960s in East London and chronicles the lives of those helping to deliver children.
Thankfully, the series hasn’t gone the way of most series from the BBC in recent years in departing Netflix in favor of more tailored services such as Acorn or BritBox. Just this year, we’ve seen the likes of Skins leave Netflix as well as BBC Earth titles and more.

The good news is that for those in the United States, you do not have long to wait until Call the Midwife hits Netflix.
Season 9 of the show is due to release on Netflix on September 15th, 2020
The United Kingdom only just got season 8 added in early September 2020 so it’ll likely be a while before we see season 9 touch down. In fact, we’re not expecting season 9 to be on Netflix until at least mid-2021.
