All Creatures Great and Small has new cast members and first looks to share for its upcoming sixth season. The series, based on James Herriot’s books is produced by BAFTA and Playground (Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light) and Masterpiece on PBS, in association with global partner All3Media International.
The new season will consist of six episodes plus a Christmas special. In the U.S., Masterpiece on PBS will air the season in early 2026. In the UK, the show will return to 5 in autumn 2025.
Joining the cast for the new chapter will be Lucy-Jo Hudson (Hollyoaks, Wild at Heart), Gaia Wise (The Dead of Winter, The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim), Jonathan Hyde (The Brutalist, Titanic), Philip Martin Brown (Waterloo Road, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy) and Chris Gascoyne (The Feud, Patience).
Season 6 returns to Yorkshire Dales for more human and animal tales but this time, the Skeldale gang is in a different situation, just as the war in Europe is coming to a close in 1945. Nicholas Ralph reprises his role as vet James Herriot, alongside Samuel West as his business partner Siegfried Farnon. Anna Madeley returns as Mrs. Hall, followed by Rachel Shenton (Helen Herriot), Callum Woodhouse (Tristan Farnon), Patricia Hodge (Mrs. Pumphrey), Tony Pitts (Richard Alderson_ and Imogen Clawson (Jenny).
Seasons 1 – 5 are available to stream via the PBS app, PBS.org and PBS Masterpiece on Prime Video.
