Described as “charming … ravishing (and) transportive” by the New York Times, “All Creatures Great and Small” returns for a second season of seven heartwarming and humorous episodes based on James Herriot’s beloved best-selling novels about a young vet and his surrogate family in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales of the 1930s. 

Nicholas Ralph returns as James Herriot, a young vet from Scotland who moves to Yorkshire to take a job in a local veterinary practice in the farming town of Darrowby. The cast also features Samuel West as Siegfried Farnon; Callum Woodhouse as Siegfried’s younger brother, Tristan; Anna Madeley as Mrs. Hall; and Rachel Shenton as the independent-minded farmer Helen Alderson.

As Season 2 opens, James returns from Glasgow where he has been visiting his parents for Easter. While there he is offered a job at a modern local veterinary practice and must decide between staying home in Glasgow with his elderly parents or returning to his new life in Yorkshire.
