Channel 5 in the UK and Masterpiece in the US have announced the new version of All Creatures Great And Small has been commissioned for a third and fourth season.

The show, which stars Nicholas Ralph, Samuel West and Rachel Shenton, has proven to be a ratings hit in the UK, with the first season reaching highs of 5 million viewers.

Filming on season three will kick off in Yorkshire in the spring, re-joining the beloved Skeldale House family in the Spring of 1939 as the prospect of another World War looms large over the Dales.

Change is afoot for all the Darrowby residents, especially James and Helen, who are embarking on the next chapter of their lives as the wider world around them heads toward a period of great uncertainty.
