All Creatures Great and Small<\/em>, based on James Herriot\u2019s iconic collection of stories, has been renewed for a second season by Channel 5.<\/p>\n

Ben Vanstone (The Last Kingdom<\/em>) remains lead writer and executive producer, Brian Percival will return as lead director and executive producer, and James Dean joins the production team as producer.\u00a0The series will return to shoot on location in the Yorkshire Dales next year.<\/p>\n
