- Amazon Prime Videoโs hit docuseries Clarksonโs Farm might be wrapping up with season 5, hints Jeremy Clarkson himself.
- โWhatever happens, weโll definitely take a short break as the crews are all worn out,โ he recently told The Times.
- Clarksonโs Farm season 5 is expected to drop in May 2026, while the forthcoming Clarksonโs Farm season 4 has set a confirmed release date: May 23rd, 2025.
It seems that The Grand Tour isnโt the only show Jeremy Clarkson has considered walking away from this past year.
In the lead-up to the premiere of Clarksonโs Farm season 4, the veteran television personality has alluded to some much-needed rest post-season 5 (which is currently in the thick of production), and what itโd take for him to sign on for another instalment.
โIโd do a sixth if there was a reason for doing it, like a bloody good story,โ Clarkson told The Times of London.
โWhatever happens, weโll definitely take a short break as the crews are all worn out. Weโve been filming here two or three days a week, every week, for five years. Everybody could do with a rest.โ
A docuseries following Jeremy Clarksonโs attempt to run his 1,000-acre โDiddly Squatโ farm in the Cotswolds has been something of a sleeper hit for Amazon Prime Video, while simultaneously shedding light on the British farming industry.

In the forthcoming chapter, the storyline involves the purchase of a local pub that, as Deadline so aptly described it, โwent through typical TV-friendly teething problems with local planning authorities.โ
โI did think itโd serve up gentle disappointment to the Top Gear, Grand Tour audience,โ Clarkson admitted to The Times.
โI very much was typecast as this man who drove around corners too quickly while shouting and using hyperbole to make a point. I thought, why would anybody who watches Top Gear or The Grand Tour want to watch this bucolic show about farming?โ
โThen they did, and it brought a whole new audience whoโd never watched a single program Iโd made. Itโs massively popular in China. A huge number of Chinese people come to the farm shop and the pub.โ
โI said to one of them the other day, โWhy do you like it?โ He said, โWe watch it because we cannot believe how incompetent you are.โโ
Outside of Clarksonโs Farm, as mentioned earlier, Jeremy Clarkson has also since retired from The Grand Tour after seven eventful years with his fellow Top Gear alums Richard Hammond and James May; officially wrapping up their tenure (and 22-year-long collaboration) in Zimbabwe with The Grand Tour: One For The Road before Amazonโs The Not Very Grand Tour retrospective specials (read: glorified clip show).
During another interview with The Times, he explained how filming the show was โimmensely physical when youโre unfit and fat and old, which I am.โ The 65-year-old auto journalist later added how he, Hammond (55), and May (62) had just about done it all behind the steering wheel.
โIโve driven cars higher than anyone else and further north than anyone else,โ added Clarkson.
โWeโve done everything you can do with a car. When we had meetings about what to do next, people just threw their arms in the air.โ

Clarkson continued: โJames May thinks thereโs never been a more interesting time for how we move around, and heโs probably right, but I donโt think itโs very interesting television.โ
โAn electric car is no different from a chest freezer or a microwave oven. Thereโs no glamour or excitement. This week on Top Chest Freezer! I think it suits the written media more.โ
Given the ongoing release cadence and the fact that cameras are rolling as we speak, we can expect Clarksonโs Farm season 5 to drop around May 2026. Clarksonโs Farm season 4, on the other hand, is scheduled to premiere this month on May 23rd, 2025.
