Jeremy Clarkson, Kaleb Cooper and co are set to return this spring for a third season of the hit farming series, Clarkson’s Farm.

Almost a year after the second series, Clarkson’s Farm 3 will launch worldwide on Friday 3 May on Amazon Prime video.

One photo released by Amazon shows a grinning Clarkson standing next to Kaleb on the farm, holding a piglet.

A second shot shows Clarkson, Kaleb, Gerald Cooper, Cheerful Charlie and Lisa Hogan gathered around a picnic table.

In season three, viewers can expect to see “in-depth, authentic, and unexpected trials and tribulations” of Clarkson and his team as they “tackle the ever-unpredictable world of British farming”.

Failing crops and agflation

The series will find the Diddly Squat team “facing some seriously daunting challenges”, including crops failing in severe hot weather, inflation that has driven prices of supplies sky high, dreams for the beloved restaurant dashed and the farm shop facing closure. 

The synopsis says: “Jeremy needs to come up with creative new ways of making ends meet, so hatches a plan to turn a profit from hundreds of acres of unfarmed land – thick woodland and hedgerows that make up half of Diddly Squat.

“This triggers an avalanche of Clarkson-crafted schemes, involving everything from goats and pigs to mushrooms, nettles and deer.”

It continues: “Someone new arrives at Diddly Squat, which puts Kaleb’s nose out of joint – as well as the returning characters all working to help Jeremy’s farming ambitions come to fruition.”

Falling out

Kaleb has also revealed that he and Clarkson have their biggest falling out to date in season three.

In a TV interview about the upcoming series, Kaleb said: “If I do something he’ll [Clarkson] say, ‘why don’t we do it this way?’

“Because he’s learnt it in the Farmers Weekly, or Charlie told him.”

Amazon has also confirmed production has started on a fourth season of the series.
