Call the Midwife season 12 will premiere on PBS in the US on Sunday, March 19, 2023. The season will air each subsequent Sunday at 8 PM EST until June 6. If you’re traveling outside the US, PBS will be region locked. That means you’ll need a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to watch it abroad. Alternatively, the entire season is already available to watch on BBC iPlayer for free by connecting to a VPN server in Britain.
We’re only recommending official sources for watching Call the Midwife. This is a very popular TV show which means that unlicensed streams are almost inevitable. However, we don’t recommend them due to their inferior quality. Worse, unofficial sources run the risk of being taken offline for copyright violation.
Call the Midwife season 12 already aired on BBC iPlayer, which means you can watch all episodes there for free. iPlayer is region locked to the UK, so if you’re outside of the country you’ll need a VPN. Alternatively, connect to a server in the USA to watch it live on PBS.
How to watch Call the Midwife season 12 from anywhere
With a VPN, you can live stream Call the Midwife season 12 from anywhere in the world. Essentially, a VPN lets you spoof your location, and trick geo-blocked services (like BBC iPlayer) into letting you use them from outside of their required country. Below, you’ll find out how to start using a VPN in a few simple steps.
Here’s how to watch Call the Midwife season 12 online free:
- First, sign up with a suitable VPN service. We recommend NordVPN. However, Surfshark and ExpressVPN are two high-quality, value for money alternatives.
- Download and install the VPN app or browser extension. There are usually plenty of options to choose from so be sure to select the appropriate version for your device.
- Open the VPN app or browser extension and connect to a server in the UK. You’ll then have a UK IP address which will allow you to unblock BBC iPlayer abroad.
- Create a BBC iPlayer account. This is free but requires some basic personal details including a UK postcode. Don’t worry, any UK postal code is accepted.
- Finally, try playing a video on BBC iPlayer. If the content is still blocked, we recommend you clear your browser’s cache and cookies before refreshing the page.
Call the Midwife season 12 is currently available in its entirety on BBC iPlayer. However, it is also about to air on PBS in the USA. You can reduce the risk of missing out on the PBS live stream each Sunday by testing your VPN in advance. That way, you’ll still have time to contact your VPN’s customer support if you encounter any issues.
