Who is new to All Creatures Great and Small for series 6?
Good Housekeeping reports that Waterloo Road's Philip Martin Brown is one of the new faces who will be heading to the Yorkshire Dales this season. He will be joined by two icons of ITV’s legendary soap Coronation Street in Chris Gascoyne and Lucy-Jo Hudson.
The main cast will be back for series six including, of course, Nicholas Ralph as James Herriot. The lead actors for the show includes:
- Samuel West as Siegfried Farnon
- Anna Madeley as Mrs Audrey Hall
- Nicholas Ralph as James Herriot
- Callum Woodhouse as Tristan Farnon (series 1–3, 5–present)
- Rachel Shenton as Helen Alderson (later Helen Herriot)
When could All Creatures Great and Small season 6 start?
Looking back at the previous five series of the show, it does give some clues on the potential timeline. The very first season debuted on Channel 5 on September 1 2020, which somehow is nearly five years ago.
Aside from 2023, All Creatures Great and Small has returned with new episodes in each September since its debut. The fourth season, however, was pushed back to October 5, 2023 but the show went back to its usual September spot for season five last year.
The premiere dates for each of the five seasons so far looks like this:
- Season 1 - September 1, 2020
- Season 2 - September 16, 2021
- Season 3 - September 15, 2022
- Season 4 - October 5, 2023
- Season 5 - September 19, 2024
Taking a look through that list of dates every season of All Creatures Great and Small since the first has started on a Thursday. The first season began on a Tuesday instead.
It does give us some potential clues for when the sixth season could start. It is likely to arrive on a Thursday in September, however it was not on the schedule for the 4th or 11th.
That does leave the 18th and 25th as potential candidates. So check back soon for the latest update.
