Jeremy Clarkson Unveils the Season Four Launch Date for "Clarkson's Farm"
Jeremy Clarkson has announced a release date for the return of his wholesome reality series Clarkson’s Farm .
The fourth season of the programme, which is set at the former Top Gear host’s Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton , will launch on Prime Video on 23 May. An additional two episodes will air a week later on 30 May, followed by the final two on 6 June.
The season will see the TV presenter and his trusty team – side-kick Kaleb Cooper, wife Lisa Hogan and farmer Gerald Cooper – embrace new adventures with the opening of Clarkson’s latest venture: The Farmer’s Dog pub in Oxfordshire.
Following the conclusion of season three with the Diddly Squat crew celebrating a chaotic year, audiences will dive back into the hustle and bustle at the farm. During this time, Kaleb embarks on a national tour, Lisa focuses on developing a fresh range of products, leaving Clarkson to manage the farm single-handedly.
In Kaleb’s absence, Clarkson needs to ensure Diddly stays focused and devises a plan: he aims to purchase a pub. Though his initial intention was to establish a Farm to Fork eatery, Clarkson now wishes to regain favor with the council by redirecting attention away from the farm shop towards a different venue.
However, As has been extensively covered on social media, Clarkson encounters hurdles such as bureaucratic red tape abandoned structures and more.
At Diddy Squat again, the farming crew will tackle shifting weather patterns, repair issues with the broken-down Lamborghini tractor, and manage the introduction of a bull, a pig, and a herd of goats.
Clarkson has been recording the challenges faced during the rollout of The Farmer’s Dog, and confessed that managing a pub proved more difficult than he initially thought.
In December, Clarkson stated online that even after being alerted regarding the large number of pub closures in the UK Given the challenges of generating income with solely a British cuisine menu and recruiting staff after Brexit, he was confident that "everything would work out."
He admitted, 'I was incorrect.'
He described it as "frustrating to witness the tremendous effort needed to earn such meager profits from farming," and further noted, "The situation is even more challenging at the pub. People are visiting; demand isn’t an issue. However, converting those visits into actual earnings seems nearly unachievable."
Clarkson likewise mentioned in an Instagram post earlier last month that the the only thing preventing him from "financial ruin" is due to the fact that they offer Hawkstone lager and Hawkstone cider from his personal brewery.
The host characterized the entire journey into becoming a public house owner as "incredibly stressful" and mentioned that numerous drawbacks exist which "don't cross your mind."
However, the series in itself has been a huge commercial success for Clarkson and his crew. Since the series first launched in 2021, Clarkson’s helper Kaleb has risen to prominence and has officially become a millionaire, through the launch of his solo live show about his life, The World According to Kaleb, and publishing several books in addition to her appearance in the Amazon Prime series .
Kaleb had earlier disclosed that his earnings were as low as 50 pence per hour because of the fluctuating costs and profit margins in agriculture.
Clarkson’s Farm returns on 23 May.
