Jeremy Clarkson to 'step away' from Clarkson's Farm as he says ‘whatever happens’
Doubt has been cast over the future of Amazon Prime hit Clarkson's Farm as Jeremy Clarkson could leave Diddly Squat behind.
Jeremy Clarkson could be set to step away from Clarkson’s Farm “soon” in a massive blow to fans. The former Top Gear star has found massive success with his co-stars Kaleb Cooper and Lisa Hogan in the new docuseries, following life on Diddly Squat Farm, since it launched in 2021.
Series four releases this week, and a fifth has already been confirmed by Prime Video top brass. But fans hoping for a season six might be sorely disappointed, as Jeremy himself confessed to The Times that he’s thinking of stepping way. He said: “I’d do a sixth if there was a reason for doing it, like a bloody good story.
“But if, say, my back turns out to be cancerous then I wouldn’t. Whatever happens, we’ll definitely take a short break as the crews are all worn out. We’ve been filming here two or three days a week, every week, for five years. Everybody could do with a rest.”

Series four of the show will concentrate on Jeremy’s new pub venture, The Farmer’s Dog, alongside the running of Diddly Squat. It also welcomes new farmhand Harriet Cowan, a 24-year-old nurse and part-time farmer.
Thankfully Jeremy has no intention of retiring, confessing he “wouldn’t be able to fill the day” without working and has “never really had a hobby”. But he also needs the money – during his year-long hiatus from TV, he found spending money difficult because hardly anything was coming in.
He confessed: “I find it very difficult to spend anyway. I painted some lines in to make a pickleball court because I’m too mean to put a tennis court in. You don’t need nets and it’s a quarter of the size.”
And the star says he fancies turning his hand back to documentaries if Clarkson’s Farm does indeed end, but added: “But then you’ve got to sell it to a broadcaster and they’re all in dire straits these days.”
