Join PBS Books for a conversation with Ben Vanstone, Writer and Executive Producer of All Creatures Great and Small.
As the writer and Executive Producer, Vanstone will discuss Season 2 and provide insights into the adaptation of All Creatures Great and Small, the classic story written by James Herriot. Season 2 begins on Sunday, January 9, 2022, 9/8c on MASTERPIECE on PBS. All Creatures Great and Small returns for an all-new season of heartfelt moments, friendship, and mischief! Transport yourself back to the Yorkshire Dales once again with James, Siegfried Farnon, Tristan Farnon, Helen Alderson, Mrs. Hall, and more. After the events of the Season 1 finale, will James and Helen find their way together? Will James decide to call the Dales home? And can Siegfried and Tristan manage to work together without complete and utter disaster? More laughs, more love, and more animals (and yes, more Tricki Woo) await in Season 2!
