It's only been a few months since Call the Midwife's 13th season drew to a close, but we're already counting down the days until we're back at Nonnatus House.
The tear-jerking series 13 finale focused on two major storylines. Viewers watched as Miss Higgins said goodbye to her long-lost son, who she was forced to put up for adoption after falling pregnant at the age of 21 while living in India. After being reunited with her fully grown son Victor, it quickly became clear that he was dying from kidney disease.
Elsewhere, Trixie revealed her plans to join her husband Matthew in New York, leaving fans with questions over actress Helen George's future on the show.
Keep reading for all we know about the upcoming 14th season, including the cast, plot details and release date.
What will happen in Call the Midwife series 14?
The BBC has remained tight-lipped about the series 14 plot so far, although creator and writer Heidi Thomas did say that fans can expect some "emotional" stories as the show moves into the 1970s.
"After all these years, I still get butterflies every time I see the first clapperboard picture from the set," she said. "Series 14 is set in 1970, launching us into an exciting new decade. We can't wait to bring you another season full of touching, exciting, emotional stories from Nonnatus House."
At the end of series 13, Trixie decided to join Matthew in New York after he left Poplar in the hopes of rebuilding his fortune. "I'm coming out to join you," said the midwife during a phone conversation with her husband.
Series 14 will no doubt confirm whether Trixie decides to get on the plane and how long she'll be staying in New York if she does. What we do know is that Helen is currently on-set filming scenes for the show, which would suggest that Trixie is still in Poplar in the first episode at least.
As for Olly Rix, who plays Matthew, his character told Trixie that his move to the Big Apple "wasn't forever", which suggests that he'll return to Poplar at some point. Furthermore, HELLO! understands that the show is keeping the door open for the actor.
