All Creatures Great and Small Season 7 Potential Plot

At this point, no formal story details have been made public. Based on where we left off with Season 6 and James Herriot’s books, we expect Season 7 to finish out the exploration of post WW2 life in the Yorkshire Dales. More specifically, the focus will also be on James and Helen’s newly married life together, Siegfried’s continuing leadership development at Skeldale House, and Tristan’s advancement in his character as he faces challenges in both his personal and professional life.

The show will continue to present an episodic, cozy story, incorporating veterinary medicine, village life, and emotionally charged but gentle character arcs.

The series will continue to be presented in a non-high-stakes manner, therefore remaining true to its original intent of presenting a comfortable television program with warmth, laughter, and resiliency. and community healing in the years following the war.
