Call the Midwife has shared a new behind-the-scenes photo from season 12.
The BBC show's official Facebook page posted a picture of the three young Turner children, Angela, May, and Edward, amid a filming break, and confirmed that they were well into filming for season 12, which is due to air in 2023.
"So how are we doing? Really, really well! We have already completed Christmas filming, and are well into series 12!" the post read. "When we return from our summer break, we have the last half of our stories to film and won't complete that till the early winter. Call the Midwife is truly a four-seasons job!
"In the meantime, we thought we'd share an on-set pic of our young Turner children... looking suitably end-of-term crazy! I swear these kids get cheekier by the month!!!"
They also confirmed that Call the Midwife would return for a Christmas special in 2023.
After hinting that season 11 had some of the "best episodes yet", star Stephen McGann hinted to Digital Spy and other media in January 2022 that the show could take the story further.

The actor believed that the series could explore life for the sisters in the 1970s. He said: "The most general thing I can say about that is, we're all very happy with where it's going. We have always said that it has… I think, historically, it has a natural, general timeline.
"It won't go on forever, because it wouldn't go on forever. If you stick to a level of historical accuracy, it won't go on in that form forever, because it didn't back then. So therefore, it has some kind of an end mark."
