All Creatures Great and Small Season 5 is on the way! The PBS Masterpiece series will officially return next year, the network announced on August 19, and fans get their first look at the cast in the new season in fresh batch of photos.
The remake of the beloved 1970s series has received praise across its four seasons. The show follows James Herriot’s adventures as a veterinarian in the 1930s Yorkshire Dales, stories made famous in his six-book series. Nicholas Ralph stars as the veterinarian who “became renowned for his inspiring humor, compassion for his animal patients, and love of life,” PBS describes of the show.
The heartwarming and picturesque series premiered in 2020 and was renewed for Seasons 5 and 6 in February 2024. Ralph, Callum Woodhouse, Samuel West, and more All Creatures Great and Small stars are featured in the Season 5 photos revealed on August 19 (see below), marking Woodhouse’s return to the series as Tristan, who was absent from Season 4.
When is All Creatures Great and Small coming back?
All Creatures Great and Small Season 5 will premiere in early 2025, according to PBS.
