Spring is a time for everything that is new, so it would only make sense for us to present a new season of Call The Midwife which premieres April 5 at 8 p.m. Season 5 of the beloved series will bring new challenges and more clashes with modernity for the nurses and nuns. Here is what to look out for in the new season:

Times are changing in many ways. The best thing about period shows like Midwife, is watching the fashion, music and social structure evolve with the decade. As ‘61 becomes ‘62 everyone is dealing with new beginnings and new struggles.

For instance, Fred and Violet enjoy wedded bliss until Violet injures her back. She reluctantly lets him take over her duties at the shop. Trixie meanwhile deals with her alcoholism in a positive way - by getting fit.
