By Movieguide® Contributor
ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL will make its return in 2025!
PBS recently revealed that the popular show’s fifth season will premiere Sunday, Jan. 12, 2025. New episodes will air on PBS and be available to stream on PBS Passport, PBS.org and the PBS Masterpiece Prime Video channel.
ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL has also already been renewed for a sixth season. Seasons 5 and 6 will each consist of six episodes, as well as Christmas specials.
TV Line shared a synopsis of Season 5: “It is Spring 1941 and we return to Darrowby to find young baby Jimmy keeping everyone in Skeldale House on their toes. Helen is getting the hang of motherhood with James away at RAF Abingdon, Mrs. Hall and Siegfried are enjoying having a little one around and Carmody is now a full-fledged member of the Skeldale family.”
“With World War II now fully underway,” the synopsis continues, “Siegfried is taking up the slack at the surgery, Mrs. Hall and Helen are considering their contribution within the community, and Carmody is eager to step up. Siegfried is keen to have everyone back, but Tristan’s surprise return won’t be quite as straightforward as he hoped.”
All main cast members are returning for Season 5, as well as writers Debbie O’Malley and Maxine Alderton and lead director Brian Percival, according to Collider. The outlet also reported that new writers Matt Evans and Robin French will be joining the team.
Rachel Shenton, who plays Helen Herriot, spoke to The Sunday Post about how special ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL is.
“It sounds so cheesy, but it’s true. It’s special, ALL CREATURES,” she shared. “Every year we have crew who could be doing other jobs who want to come back because of what it’s like to work on it. They jump off other jobs so they can come back to ALL CREATURES.”
Shenton continued, “That’s down to the community on the show, and how much they care about the stories. I wish I had something other to say than that because I know how it sounds, but it is lovely. It’s been a pleasure.”
