‘All Creatures Great and Small’ Renewed for Seasons 7 & 8 at PBS

All Creatures Great and Small fans, rejoice! The series has scored a double renewal, ensuring that the show will be back for Seasons 7 and 8. Season 6 premieres in early 2026 on PBS.

PBS announced the double renewal on Thursday, November 20. The announcement confirmed that Seasons 7 and 8 will each consist of six episodes, plus Christmas Specials. Premiere dates were not announced, but All Creatures Great and Small Season 6 is right around the corner. It premieres on Sunday, January 11, 2026, at 9/8c on PBS through PBS Masterpiece. It premiered this fall on Channel 5 in the UK.

Season 6 of All Creatures Great and Small brings audiences back to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales for more heartwarming human and animal tales. The series jumps forward in time to 1945. The intervening years have seen our cherished Skeldale gang somewhat scattered, with James (Nicholas Ralph) and Helen (Rachel Shenton) now living at Heston Grange farm, Tristan (Callum Woodhouse) serving overseas, Mrs. Hall (Anna Madeley) away, and Siegfried (Samuel West) struggling to cope on his own at Skeldale, but they gladly reunite as the war in Europe comes to a close and look forward to a peaceful future. The series brings its usual soothing warmth, humor, and sense of community alongside a host of animals great and small.

“All Creatures Great and Small has found its way into the hearts of American audiences and is one of our most-watched series on Masterpiece,” Susanne Simpson, Head of Scripted Content and Executive Producer for Masterpiece, said. “I’m thrilled to bring more seasons of the warmth, hope, and humor that make this series so special to Masterpiece PBS.” Masterpiece is presented on PBS by GBH Boston.

“All Creatures Great and Small is a jewel in 5’s drama crown and continues to delight viewers year after year,” Greg Barnett, Commissioning Editor, 5, said. “Its warmth, humour and heart, set against the beauty of Yorkshire, have made it a firm audience favourite. We’re thrilled to extend its future with two more series, with many new stories still to tell and more unforgettable adventures ahead for our Skeldale family.”

Melissa Gallant and Sharon Moran, joint Executive Producers for Playground, added that they frequently hear from fans about their love of the series. She said: “We frequently receive letters from viewers about how the show has brought joy, comfort, and relief in challenging times. Making television that has that effect and is beloved around the world year after year is the greatest privilege, and we’re thrilled to be continuing the All Creatures journey with 5, Masterpiece on PBS and All3Media International into series 7 and 8. It’s a show which people love to watch and love to make, and we can’t wait for more adventures in beautiful Yorkshire with our wonderful cast and crew.”
