Heart Warming Fan Favorite Dramas Return, Including ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL ON MASTERPIECE and CALL THE MIDWIFE New Dramas Debut, Including FUNNY WOMAN and Three New MASTERPIECE Series

ARLINGTON, VA, December 13, 2023 - Settle in for a cozy night of heartfelt dramas perfect for the entire family with the return of ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL ON MASTERPIECE, MISS SCARLET AND THE DUKE ON MASTERPIECE, and CALL THE MIDWIFE for its 13th season. In addition, PBS will also debut four new series, beginning in January with the premiere of FUNNY WOMAN, starring Gemma Arterton ("The King's Man"). Based on Nick Hornby's best-selling novel, "Funny Girl," FUNNY WOMAN is a hilarious and inspirational story of a beauty queen re-inventing herself through comedy. Three new MASTERPIECE series will follow including NOLLY, starring Helena Bonham Carter as Nolly Gordon, a British soap opera legend who fights for her rightful recognition; ALICE & JACK, a powerful, incredibly entertaining love story written by Victor Levin ("Mad Men," "Mad About You"); and MaryLand, a story of two sisters uncovering mysteries of their past and future, starring Suranne Jones ("Gentleman Jack," "Vigil") as Becca and Eve Best ("House of the Dragon," "Nurse Jackie") as Rosaline.

All programs are listed below in airdate order (check local listings) and will also be available to stream on PBS.org, and the PBS App, available on iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Chromecast and VIZIO. All programs will also be available to stream on PBS Passport and the PBS Masterpiece Prime Video Channel.

MISS SCARLET AND THE DUKE ON MASTERPIECE, Season 4

Season Premiere: January 7, 8 p.m. ET

Eliza has taken over the business of Nash & Sons (not that he has any sons), and things are not going entirely smoothly, although help comes from some familiar sources. Outside of work, her relationship with William (The Duke) builds towards a looming decision that will shape both their lives.

ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL ON MASTERPIECE, Season 4

Season Premiere: January 7, 2024, 9 p.m. ET

It's Spring 1940, and with Europe at war, the community in Darrowby is pulling together more than ever before. With Tristan away serving, Siegfried and James bring in some extra hands to help around the practice: highly efficient bookkeeper Miss Harbottle and student vet Richard Carmody. Happily married, Helen and James begin to think about their future despite the looming possibility that James could be called up to serve.

FUNNY WOMAN

New Series Premiere: January 7, 2024, 10 p.m. ET

FUNNY WOMAN follows Barbara Parker, a small-town beauty queen who decides to swap her pageant life for comedy television in 1960s London. After landing a TV show audition, Barbara finds that being a woman in a largely male environment has its own challenges. As she 'finds her funny' voice, Barbara re-defines the prevailing attitude toward funny women while on a mission to reinvent herself.

CALL THE MIDWIFE Season 13

Season Premiere: March 17, 2024, 8 p.m. ET

CALL THE MIDWIFE explores complex medical and personal situations on the midwifery and district nursing rounds. It is now 1969, and the period drama returns with Poplar coping with the popularity of home births under the auspices of the Sisters. Season 13 will also see stories of poor housing challenges and health issues for the nurses, midwives, and nuns of the Nonnatus House.

NOLLY ON MASTERPIECE

New Series Premiere: March 17, 2024, 9 p.m. ET

Helena Bonham Carter ("The Crown, Harry Potter") stars as soap opera legend Noele "Nolly" Gordon, one of the most famous faces on British TV in the 1960s and 70s, whose unceremonious firing from her hit show at the height of her career was front-page news. A bold exploration of how the establishment turns on women who refuse to play by the rules, Nolly is an outrageously fun and wildly entertaining ride through Gordon's most tumultuous years, and a sharp, affectionate and heart-breaking portrait of a forgotten icon. Nolly also stars Mark Gatiss ("Sherlock," "Good Omens") and was written by Russell T. Davies ("Doctor Who," "It's A Sin").

ALICE & JACK ON MASTERPIECE

New Series Premiere: March 17, 2024, 10 p.m. ET

Andrea Riseborough ("To Leslie") and Domhnall Gleeson ("The Patient") star in this love story for the ages written by Victor Levin ("Mad Men," "Mad About You"). When Alice (Riseborough) and Jack (Gleeson) first meet they're bound by a connection so powerful it seems nothing can break it, but will their path lead them to a place of happiness and togetherness? Or will life and their own emotional complexities get in the way? Honest, intimate, and surprisingly funny, the series shows love in all its unexpected, technicolor, kaleidoscopic beauty.

MaryLand ON MASTERPIECE

New Series Premiere: April 7, 2024, 9 p.m. ET

Sisters Becca (Suranne Jones,"Gentleman Jack," "Vigil") and Rosaline (Eve Best, ("House of the Dragon," "Nurse Jackie") find themselves thrown together by the sudden death of their mother, Mary. They come to find out that she was living an entirely secret life on the Isle of Man, far from her home with her husband, Becca and Rosaline's father. As the sisters travel through the early days of grief and discover their mother's secrets, they meet their mother's quirky friend Cathy (Stockard Channing, "The Good Wife," "The West Wing") who seems to know more about their mother than they do. Mary's death offers Becca and Rosaline a chance to not only reframe their relationship but fundamentally reshape who they are. At its heart, MaryLand is a love story of two sisters.
