All Creatures Great & Small Advance Premiere

Join Iowa PBS on December 7 at 2 p.m. for an exclusive preview of the sixth season of All Creatures Great and Small with an advance screening of the first episode! Season 6 takes us back to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales for more heartwarming human and animal tales but, this time, we find our beloved Skeldale gang in a somewhat different situation as we join them in 1945, just as the war in Europe is coming to a close. 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 season 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.

Following the advance premiere, Dr. Chad Brown, executive director of hospital operations and clinical associate professor at Iowa State University’s Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center, will join us for a conversation about the veterinary themes of the series and answer audience questions about caring for creatures great and small today. 

Doors will open at 1:30 p.m. and light refreshments will be served. Open captions will also be provided. Join us at Iowa PBS and be among the first to see what's in store for your favorite characters. 

All Creatures Great and Small will return January 11th, 2026 on Iowa PBS.
