When All Creatures Great and Small premiered during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was the soothing series we all needed. And this weekend, as Omicron surges throughout the United States, the 1930s-set show about a veterinarian in the English Yorkshire Dales returns to Masterpiece to offer the weekly dose of calm we still need.
Ahead of the season two premiere, here's how to catch up on the series.
