St. Louis, MO—January 6, 2022—Nine PBS is the place to be if you want to retreat into the world of British dramas. Beloved country vet James Herriot returns for a new season of the PBS Masterpiece hit series described as “charming…ravishing (and) transportive” by the New York Times.
With an acclaimed ensemble cast headed by Nicholas Ralph as James Herriot, the new seven-episode season begins on Nine PBS on Sunday nights, beginning January 9, at 8 pm. Viewers can livestream episodes on any device or watch on-demand for a limited time on the PBS Video App.
The heartwarming and humorous All Creatures Great and Small is based on James Herriot’s beloved bestselling novels about a young vet and his surrogate family in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales of the 1930s.
The premiere season of All Creatures Great and Small was one of PBS’s biggest hits of 2021, delighting television viewers exhausted by lockdown and ongoing political crises.
Critics were equally enthralled by the show, with Vogue rhapsodizing “A visit to the fields, farms, and pubs of the faraway English countryside feels…like just what the doctor ordered,” while New York Magazine proclaimed, “every tiny piece of it is absolutely perfect.” “People helping animals, people quietly falling in love, people romping through the green dales, people valuing honor…it’s all lovely and comforting,” concurred the Boston Globe.
As season two 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.
