Call the Midwife: Sisters in Arms (2026)
In September 1939, Nonnatus House is the beating heart of the East End community of Poplar. The nurses and nuns dedicate their lives to mothers, babies and the poor. But there is no gas and air, no penicillin, no cure for TB, and no welfare state. Then war is declared — and life gets even harder. While bombs rain from the sky, women give birth underground, families are shattered and whole streets are reduced to ruins. But courage and resilience triumphs as the community unites to survive.

What kind of watch this is
Sisters in Arms strips the midwifery drama down to its structural bones. Three episodes, 3 hours total, and a 1939 backdrop where the lack of penicillin is as much a character as the bomb. It is a tight, high-stakes look at survival when the systems that usually catch you simply disappear. The tension comes from the quiet moments between the sirens, not from the explosions themselves. It is a short, sharp reminder that history was often just people doing their jobs in the dark.
