Amazon Prime has confirmed that Clarkson's Farm will return for a third season - before the second has even aired. The follow-up to the successful debut of the series will air early in 2023, but the streaming giant has already said that there will be a third instalment.
The show follows the Grand Tour and former Top Gear presenter's exploits on his farm in West Oxfordshire. With fans eagerly awaiting the second series in the New Year, production is already underway on the third series, reports OxfordshireLive.
Mr Clarkson said: “I’m genuinely thrilled that we are doing a third season of Clarkson’s Farm. I’ve had some great new ideas, all of which have made Charlie, Lisa and Kaleb deeply unhappy."
Co-star Kaleb Cooper added: “I’m 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."
The third season will see the return of core cast members Jeremy, his partner Lisa, Kaleb, Gerald and Cheerful Charlie, as well as a "few new characters". 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."
Head of UK Originals at Amazon Studios, Dan Grabiner, said: "Thank you Kaleb, Lisa, Gerald, and Charlie for making sure Jeremy doesn’t completely muck it up. 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.”
Meanwhile, the upcoming second series will take viewers inside a bitter planning battle for a restaurant at Diddly Squat Farm, as well as the introduction of new animals and crops. It will also take a look at the impact of the economy on British farmers.
The show is filmed at Jeremy's Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton and first aired in 2021. It catapulted many of its previously unknown cast members to stardom, including local Kaleb Cooper. The young star has since launched his own cider brand, authored a book and last week announced his plans to release his own country clothing line.
