Third series of Clarkson’s Farm confirmed before second is released

Jeremy Clarkson has confirmed that Clarkson’s Farm will return to Amazon Prime for a third series – even before the second series has hit the screens.

The TV-presenter-turned-farmer says he has “great new ideas” for the third series of the hit show.

“I’m genuinely thrilled that we are doing a third season of Clarkson’s Farm,” said Mr Clarkson. “I’ve had some great new ideas, all of which have made Charlie, Lisa and Kaleb deeply unhappy.”

Production for the third series has already started, ahead of the second series launching in early 2023. Filming will take place over an entire farming year at Diddly Squat Farm in Oxfordshire.

The third series will follow Jeremy, Lisa, Kaleb, Gerald, and Cheerful Charlie on their latest farming ventures.

Amazon says viewers will be able to look forward to more in-depth, authentic, and unexpected trials and tribulations as they tackle the ever-unpredictable world of British farming.

Untapped opportunities at Diddly Squat

“The currently unfarmed 208ha of Diddly Squat’s 405ha will provide untapped opportunities for Jeremy and company to turn a profit, with vast stretches of thick woodland perfect for foraging, and untouched lakes bursting with possibilities,” says Amazon Prime Video, in a statement.

“Viewers can expect more agricultural antics and typical Clarkson-crafted schemes, as the team invent new and creative ways to use the other half of the farm.

“As well as the returning cast, a few new characters will be welcomed to Diddly Squat, too, all helping Jeremy to continue pursuing his farming dream.”

Kaleb Cooper said he was “over the moon” to be taking part again. “Well, they do say third time’s a charm. Maybe this will be the series that Jeremy finally starts taking advice from a real farmer,” he added.

Mr Clarkson’s partner, Lisa Hogan, said: “There is a whole lot to catch up on here at Diddly Squat – series two is on its way so not long to wait for you to see how much the hard work and love of farming continues.

“It’s just grand to be already filming series three.”

Dan Grabiner, head of UK Originals, Amazon Studios, said: “Watching Clarkson’s Farm grow from an intimate glimpse into British farming to a global sensation has been a delight.

“We’re thrilled to be continuing the story year after year as the plot thickens for our favourite farmers.”

Next series

The smash-hit first series saw Britain’s most unlikely farmer, Mr Clarkson, contend with the worst farming weather in decades, misbehaving animals, unresponsive crops, and an unexpected pandemic.

The second series, launching in 2023, will see the introduction of new animals and crops to the farm.

Viewers will also see Mr Clarkson’s dealings with the local council as he attempts to diversify his operation with a restaurant, and Kaleb yet again saving the day on numerous occasions.

The series also examines the effect of the economy on British farmers.
