What to expect from the next season of the show, which is based on James Herriot’s books
Wedding bells will be ringing in All Creatures Great and Small Season 3. James (Nicholas Ralph) and Helen (Rachel Shenton) are preparing to say “I do.” As James gets ready to start his new life with Helen, he also has a new stake in the veterinary business to think about. And when he signs on to help the government test for tuberculosis in cattle, he risks jeopardizing his relationship with the local farmers. Meanwhile, Helen will have to adjust to her new life at Skeldale House.
Season 3 of the cozy British drama — which is based on real-life vet James Herriot’s books — begins in the spring of 1939. War with Germany is on the horizon, which forces Siegfried (Samuel West) to confront painful memories of his service during World War I. And Siegried’s younger brother Tristan (Callum Woodhouse) is facing fresh challenges as a newly qualified vet.
“It really feels like a continuation from season 2,” Ralph said in a video for PBS (via Twitter). “It’s funny, it’s delightful … it’s also very romantic.”
“They’re so in love! And that’s never been in question — I think from the moment that they met… They’re no longer stealing kisses and sneaking off to go on dates,” Shenton said of her and Ralph’s characters (via PBS). ‘We really see them have less of fast heart beating romance and become more of a team. I think that is what happens as relationships evolve.”
