The series, based on best-selling author James Herriot’s iconic collection of stories, had been renewed for Seasons 5 and 6 back in February. Each of the two seasons will consist of six episodes plus Christmas specials.

Callum Woodhouse, who was off-screen for Season 4, is back as Tristan Farnon. (Siegfried’s brother has been away serving in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps.) Also returning are Nicholas Ralph as vet James Herriot, Samuel West as the aforementioned and mercurial Siegfried Farnon, Anna Madeley as the matriarch of Skeldale House, Mrs. Hall, Rachel Shenton as the charismatic Helen Herriot, James Anthony-Rose as Richard Carmody, and Patricia Hodge as the wonderfully sophisticated Mrs Pumphrey (with her pampered Pekingese Tricki in tow, of course).

What all is on tap for Season 5? “It is Spring 1941 and we return to Darrowby to find young baby Jimmy keeping everyone in Skeldale House on their toes,” the official synopsis tells us. “Helen is getting the hang of motherhood with James away at RAF Abingdon, Mrs. Hall and Siegfried are enjoying having a little one around and Carmody is now a full-fledged member of the Skeldale family.

“With World War II now fully underway,” the overview continues, “Siegfried is taking up the slack at the surgery, Mrs. Hall and Helen are considering their contribution within the community, and Carmody is eager to step up. Siegfried is keen to have everyone back, but Tristan’s surprise return won’t be quite as straightforward as he hoped.”
