The sixth season of All Creatures Great and Small will premiere on Channel 5 on Thursday, 25 September at 9pm. The new series, set in May 1945, will consist of six episodes airing weekly.
The main cast returns, including Samuel West as Siegfried Farnon, Anna Madeley as Mrs Hall, and Nicholas Ralph as James Herriot. Callum Woodhouse reprises his role as Tristan Farnon, alongside Rachel Shenton as Helen Herriot, Tony Pitts as Richard Alderson, and Imogen Clawson as Jenny Alderson.
New cast members include Hollyoaks star Lucy-Jo Hudson, Gaia Wise from The Dead of Winter, and Jonathan Hyde of The Brutalist. Philip Martin Brown and Chris Gascoyne also join the series.
The synopsis reveals: 'Helen's enjoying time with young Jimmy and Rosie but has big changes afoot at Heston to contend with. Tristan returns from several years at war and will have to re-adjust to life back home in Darrowby.'
A trailer released on 11 September shows James with his son Jimmy, now older, and Siegfried chasing a runaway goat. James advises his superior on modernising the surgery to keep up with technology and demand.
