PBS has unveiled the Season 6 trailer for All Creatures Great & Small, giving fans their first look at life in Darrowby after the end of World War II. The beloved Masterpiece series, based on James Herriot’s classic books, will return in early 2026 with new challenges, new family dynamics, and an emotional reunion between Siegfried and Mrs. Hall.
