All Creatures Great and Small Season 5: Release date, Trailer, plot, cast, Episodes, & Everything we know so far

All Creatures Great and Small is back with a brand new season. Fan-favorite character Tristan will be making a return, much to the delight of fans who missed his presence in the previous season.

Callum Woodhouse, who plays Tristan, said, "It was always the plan to come back, and historically, Tristan did go away to war for a while, and he did come back. But yes, it was really nice to take the time away to do other projects and then come back home to my family really. It was slightly daunting in the sense of, 'Is it going to feel weird? Am I going to feel a bit out of the loop?' but my first day back was a full day in the in The Drovers, which is probably the best place to film Tristan’s first scenes back."

More good news for fans: Another season has been commissioned, which means we will be getting an All Creatures Great and Small season six, too! Paul Testar, Commissioning Editor, Drama, Channel 5 and Paramount Plus said, "We're so pleased that All Creatures Great and Small will be returning to Channel 5 for two more series. The show has captured the hearts of our audiences and we are committed to bringing even more of James Herriot's unforgettable stories to our viewers. We can't wait to share this next chapter."

The show is based on James Herriot's book series of the same name. It depicts a group of veterinarians working in Yorkshire during the late 1930s and early 1940s.
