Another season of All Creatures Great and Small has come to an end, seeing some major developments in the characters’ personal lives and the world around them.
With James and Helen getting married at the start of the season and the start of the Second World War looming throughout, many things changed at Skeldale House across the six episodes.
James also stepped up at the veterinary practice in his new role as Siegfried’s partner – something the latter certainly had to get used to.
So when can we expect to see more from the characters and who can we expect to be back? Read on for everything you need to know about All Creatures Great and Small season 4.

There will! The series was renewed for both seasons 3 and 4 back in January of this year, with two more Christmas specials also confirmed.
At the time when the show was renewed, Sebastian Cardwell, Deputy Director of Programmes at ViacomCBS Networks UK, said: “It is clear that our viewers adore James Herriot’s adventures in Darrowby and so do we at Channel 5. I am looking forward to us all being reunited with the Skeldale House family”.
When will All Creatures Great and Small season 4 air on Channel 5?

While we expect the series to return for a Christmas special this December, we don’t yet know exactly when the series will be back for season 4 beyond that.
So far, the show’s three seasons have been released a year apart in September, so a September 2023 release would certainly seem likely. However, we’ll keep this page updated once we have any more concrete information to add.

Imogen Clawson and Tony Pitts will also likely be back as Helen’s family, and there could be a return for Patricia Hodge as Mrs Pumphrey, after she replaced Dame Diana Rigg in the role for season 2 following Rigg’s passing.
Here’s a full list of the cast we would expect to return for All Creatures Great and Small season 4:
- Nicholas Ralph as James Herriot
- Samuel West as Siegfried Farnon
- Rachel Shenton as Helen Alderson
- Callum Woodhouse as Tristan Farnon
- Anna Madeley as Mrs Audrey Hall
- Imogen Clawson as Jenny Alderson
- Tony Pitts as Richard Alderson
- Patricia Hodge as Mrs Pumphrey
