'All Creatures Great and Small' Season 2 Gets January Premiere Date

It's official: Masterpiece will be taking us all back to the Yorkshire Dales in January for All Creatures Great and Small Season 2.

Now, this news was probably pretty expected by most savvy period drama fans, given that the popular remake first aired in the coveted January timeslot formerly held by Downton Abbey last year. But, it's still nice to have a firm day to write on our calendars, and this highly anticipated dose of extremely necessary cottage core coziness will officially arrive on Sunday, January 9, 2022.

Based on the popular books by James Herriot, the series will see stars Nicholas Ralph, Samuel West, Rachel Shenton, Anna Madeley, Callum Woodhouse, Matthew Lewis, and Derek the dog (the all-important pup who plays Tricki Woo) return for another round of heartwarming 1930s-set stories of animals that need care. They will be joined by Patricia Hodge as Mrs. Pumphrey, who will be taking over the role originated by the late Dame Diana Rigg.
