Prime Video Confirms Third Series of UK Original Clarkson's Farm
LONDON—28 October, 2022— Production has commenced on a third series of the Prime Video UK Original Clarkson's Farm, ahead of the second series launching in early 2023. With filming taking place over the course of an entire farming year, viewers will be able to look forward to more in-depth, authentic, and unexpected trials and tribulations as Jeremy, Lisa, Kaleb, Gerald, and Charlie tackle the ever-unpredictable world of British farming.
The smash-hit first series saw Britain's most unlikely farmer, Jeremy Clarkson, contend with the worst farming weather in decades, misbehaving animals, unresponsive crops, and an unexpected pandemic. The eagerly awaited second series, launching in 2023, will see the introduction of new animals and crops to the farm; Jeremy'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 impact of the current economy on British farmers.
The third series of Clarkson's Farm will follow Jeremy, Lisa, Kaleb, Gerald, and Cheerful Charlie on their latest farming ventures. The currently unfarmed 513 acres of Diddly Squat's 1,000 acres provides untapped opportunities for Jeremy and co. to turn a profit, with vast stretches of thick woodland perfect for foraging, and untouched lakes bursting with possibilities. 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.
"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," said Jeremy Clarkson.
"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!" said Kaleb Cooper.
"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," said Lisa Hogan.
"Thank you Kaleb, Lisa, Gerald, and Charlie for making sure Jeremy doesn't completely muck it up," said Dan Grabiner, head of UK Originals, Amazon Studios. "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."
Clarkson's Farm is produced by Expectation and is executive produced by Peter Fincham and Andy Wilman. Zoe Brewer is director of production and Peter Richardson is series producer.
