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.

Sign up for PBS Passport

The first season of All Creatures Great and Small is currently available on PBS's streaming platform, Passport. The online service, which can be used on the computer as well as smartphones and through TV applications like Roku, Amazon Fire, or Apple TV, is an added benefit for donors to PBS. Each individual station sets the requirements for membership, but according to the national organization, generally speaking, "the PBS Passport member benefit requires a station donation of at least $60 a year, or $5 Sustainer/Ongoing-monthly gifts."
