Despite the show not even launching its third season yet, Clarkson’s Farm is already filming its fourth.
After a successful first two series, Jeremy Clarkson’s show, which follows him whilst he attempts to run a farm despite having no farming experience, is back on Friday.
The motor sport presenter turned farmer, has revealed filming has already begun for the next series. Speaking at an exclusive event at the Diddly Squat Farm, Jeremy, 64, said: ‘We’re doing season four now…
‘And every single day when we meet for filming, we have a vague idea about what I need to do, but I can guarantee it will change because the weather has changed, or some fence will have fallen down…
‘And you never know what you’re going to end up doing. As long as you get content, it doesn’t matter what it is.’

Jeremy was a presenter on Top Gear from October 1988 to March 1999.
He then presented the show’s new format from October 2002 to March 2015 along with co-presenters James May, 61, and Richard Hammond, 54, where he is credited with turning Top Gear into the most-watched TV show on BBC Two.
In July 2015, it was announced that Jeremy, along with Richard Hammond and James May would present a new show on Amazon Prime Video called The Grand Tour which would see the trio touring the world in different cars and locations.
Speaking about his previous work, Jeremy said it was heavily scripted compared to Clarkson’s Farm.
He said: ‘I read a piece in the Sunday Times recently saying, “a farmer has said things we show would never happen, that the tractor would do a wheelie”.
‘But it did happen. Everything that happens is genuine reality television. It’s absolutely real, what you see actually happens and none of it is planned.
‘On The Grand Tour, everything was planned. Literally everything. You know, Richard (Hammond) move your eyebrows that much. I have no script on this.’
Earlier this month, Jeremy revealed he has had sleepless nights about not making enough money from his farm after prices and spending were at an all-time high for him last year.

The farmer said he has had to grow mushrooms, blackberries and mustard this year to try and make as much money as possible.
Jeremy, was last year forced to close his restaurant on Diddly Squat Farm after being served an enforcement notice from the local council – with residents claiming the establishment was causing heavy traffic.
Estimated to have a net worth of £55 million, his new series of Clarkson’s Farm shows him investing in new ways to try and make money on his farm.
In the first episode of the latest season Jeremy is forced to sell 13 cows to make some money. He said: ‘Everything that could go wrong, has gone wrong…
‘One top of all of this there was the pretty little restaurant that we opened earlier in the summer to sell the food we’d grown and reared on the farm.
‘But after just six weeks, the council served us with an enforcement notice telling us it had to close. With the restaurant shut down we could no longer afford to keep all of the cows.’
Clarkson’s Farm season three will arrive on Prime Video on May 3, 2024.
