CALL THE MIDWIFE

Following an eventful Christmas special, the beloved drama series, which regularly draws in audiences of over 10 million, picks up in spring 1967. As celebrations are underway for a colorful Easter Bonnet parade outside Nonnatus House, construction on a nearby building uncovers a terrible secret. Sister Monica Joan and Reggie are excited about the Eurovision Song Contest, and Nancy, having just passed her midwifery examinations, is about to don her red cardigan for the first time.
SANDITON SEASON TWO ON MASTERPIECE
Sundays, March 20–April 24, 9:00 p.m. ET
The fan-favorite drama inspired by Jane Austen’s final, unfinished novel is back! After the first season’s finale left viewers hanging in suspense, the story continues with its high-spirited heroine, Charlotte Heywood, returning to the picturesque coastal resort of Sanditon and the companionship of her friend Georgiana Lambe. What adventures, scandals, intrigue and, above all else, romance await Miss Heywood this season?
BEFORE WE DIE
Sundays, March 20-April 24, 10:00 p.m. ET
Determined to find whoever is responsible for killing her colleague, Detective Inspector Hannah Laing reaches out to one of his confidential contacts for information. “Issy” leads her to the Mimicas, a tight-knit Croatian family running a successful restaurant—and a drug-smuggling operation. But when Hannah discovers Issy’s identity, she quickly realizes there is far more at stake than bringing the murderers to justice.
