British period drama All Creatures Great and Small has finally confirmed a return date.
The hit series, which focuses on vets in the Yorkshire Dales, last aired in autumn 2024 – and it looks like its sixth season will fall in line with the regular release schedule.
Channel 5 have announced that the series will be back on Thursday, 25 September at 9pm, which is in exactly two weeks' time.
It comes after a number of new cast additions were announced to be joining regulars such as Nicholas Ralph and Rachel Shenton, including Hollyoaks' Lucy-Jo Hudson, The Dead of Winter's Gaia Wise, The Brutalist's Jonathan Hyde, Waterloo Road's Philip Martin Brown and The Feud's Chris Gascoyne.
Regulars Samuel West, Anna Madeley, Callum Woodhouse and Patricia Hodge will all be back, as will Tony Pitts, Imogen Clawson, Mollie Winnard, Conor Deane, Cat Simmons and Lamin Touray.

All Creatures Great and Small is based on the books by author James Herriot, with the Channel 5 series launching back in 2020.
The sixth season will take place at the end of World War Two in 1945, as we "arrive back in Darrowby to veterinary advancements, expanded families, and new faces as they all look ahead to a brighter and more peaceful future".
"This series will see Herriot's wonderful characters navigating the opportunities that a new world brings, a host of animals great and small, and of course, each other," the synopsis adds.
Meanwhile, last year Shenton responded to criticism that the relationship on the show between her character Helen and James is "boring".
All Creatures Great and Small will return on Thursday, 25 September at 9pm on 5 in the UK. The show airs on Masterpiece on PBS in the US.
