Dr. Jan Pol, the charismatic veterinarian who won the hearts of millions through the long-running Nat Geo WILD series The Incredible Dr. Pol, is embarking on an exciting new chapter with his latest venture, The Incredible Pol Farm. After decades of showcasing his veterinary skills on television, Dr. Pol is shifting his focus to a family project that brings him back to his agricultural roots.

Since its debut in 2011, The Incredible Dr. Pol has captivated audiences with its unique blend of medical challenges, animal care, and the down-to-earth charm of Dr. Pol himself. Over 24 seasons, viewers have watched Dr. Pol and his team handle everything from routine checkups to complex surgeries on a variety of animals. But now, as Dr. Pol approaches his 80th birthday, he has decided to take on a new kind of adventure—one that combines his love for animals with his deep appreciation for farming.


The Incredible Pol Farm, which premiered in January 2024, follows Dr. Pol, his son Charles, and three generations of the Pol family as they work together to transform 350 acres of undeveloped land in Michigan into a fully functional family farm. This new show is a spinoff of The Incredible Dr. Pol, but it offers a different perspective, focusing on the challenges and rewards of starting a farm from scratch.


Dr. Pol’s journey into farming is not entirely new. He was born and raised on a dairy farm in the Netherlands, and he brings that wealth of experience to this project. The series showcases the family’s efforts to build barns, acquire livestock, and cultivate the land, all while navigating the inevitable hurdles that come with such an ambitious undertaking​. The show offers a mix of heartwarming moments, family dynamics, and practical insights into farm life, making it a compelling watch for both longtime fans of Dr. Pol and newcomers to the series.

Charles Pol, Dr. Pol’s son, plays a significant role in this new venture. Having co-created The Incredible Dr. Pol, Charles brings his experience in television production to the farm project as both a participant and an executive producer. His involvement ensures that The Incredible Pol Farm maintains the authenticity and warmth that made The Incredible Dr. Pol a hit​. Together, the Pol family’s efforts are not just about building a farm; they are about creating a legacy that reflects their values of hard work, family, and a deep respect for nature and animals.


The response to The Incredible Pol Farm has been overwhelmingly positive. Fans of The Incredible Dr. Pol have eagerly embraced the new show, appreciating the continuation of the Pol family’s story in a fresh and engaging context. The series airs on Nat Geo WILD and is also available for streaming on Disney+, allowing viewers to follow the family’s progress as they navigate the ups and downs of farm life.


As Dr. Pol transitions from the veterinary clinic to the farm, he continues to inspire viewers with his dedication and passion for animals. While he may no longer be performing surgeries every day, his influence in the world of animal care remains strong. Dr. Pol’s new journey on The Incredible Pol Farm is a testament to his enduring commitment to animals and his ability to adapt to new challenges, even after a lifetime of success in his field.


For fans who have grown up watching Dr. Pol, this new series offers a chance to see a different side of the beloved veterinarian, one that emphasizes family, resilience, and the joys of farming. It’s a natural progression for a man who has spent his life caring for animals, and it’s clear that Dr. Pol’s story is far from over. Whether tending to livestock or mentoring his grandchildren, Dr. Pol’s legacy continues to grow, one episode at a time.
