Clarkson’s Farm is back — but early reviews suggest Jeremy Clarkson’s hit farming series may be leaning on a familiar formula.
The Prime Video show, which first launched in 2021, follows Jeremy as he attempts to run Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds, often with chaotic results.
Over the years, viewers have watched him open a farm shop, launch a farm-to-fork pub and battle the brutal realities of British farming, from droughts and floods to unpredictable animals.
But ahead of the new series, some critics have claimed the show risks repeating itself.
One review suggested there are only so many times audiences can laugh at failed sheep herding or someone slipping in cow muck. However, critics also admitted that Clarkson remains a master of staged chaos — and that the disasters are still often very funny.
This season also shows a softer side to Jeremy following his serious health scare. The presenter previously revealed he was “days from death” after doctors discovered a blocked artery and inserted a stent.
In the new episodes, Jeremy struggles with breathlessness while working on the farm, giving the series a more emotional tone.
There are also fresh challenges at Diddly Squat, including a driverless tractor, difficult sheep, trouble at The Farmer’s Dog pub and Kaleb Cooper’s typically no-nonsense reactions.
While some reviews say the format feels familiar, others argue the show still has heart, humour and a powerful look at the pressures facing British farmers.
The new series premieres on Prime Video on June 3, with further episodes released on June 10 and June 17.
