Clarkson's Farm season 5 'took a break' from filming before final two episodes are released

Clarkson's Farm has been renewed for a sixth season, according to multiple news outlets

Amazon hasn't confirmed this is the case yet

Myriad issues on the farm could affect when season 6 is released

Clarkson's Farm season 5 episodes 7 and 8 are set to drop on Prime Video this week, marking the end of the latest installment of Jeremy Clarkson's hit reality TV series.

In April, The Independent suggested that Clarkson's Farm season 6 was on the way, despite an official statement never coming from Amazon directly.

On the surface, this seems like a no-brainer. This season's four-episode premiere was estimated to have drawn in between 4 million and 4.5 million viewers, while season 4 was also reportedly the second most-watched TV series in the UK across streaming and linear channels in 2025.

However, in all of the excitement, we might have forgotten something important — and it might mean season 6's release window of summer 2027 is woolly, to say the least.

'The crew are all worn out'

Last May amid season 5's production, Clarkson confirmed that a filming break was scheduled to take place prior to any season 6 announcement.

Speaking to The Times, he said: “I’d do a sixth if there was a reason for doing it, like a bloody good story… 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.”

This was made worse by the fact that Jeremy later confirmed in his Sunday Times column that filming for season 6 had been suspended due to various issues. In a post on the show's official Facebook page, its social team said: "Filming has already faced a few hurdles along the way, including a break from production, positive TB [tuberculosis] testing, and relentless rain earlier this year."

Clearly, a "bloody good story" has been found, which is fantastic news for fans. However, given the aforementioned delays, season 6's summer 2027 release window is likely to be months later than previous expected.

I'd put money on season 6 coming out next August, but the issues don't stop there. Season 6 could also be the final installment of the show, though season 7 rumors are already across social media.

"I think it’s coming to the end of its natural shelf life," one fan posted on Reddit, with a second weighing in to say: "Didn't they just file for their parking extension to be extended through 2030 because of on going filming with the show? I know only season 6 has officially been green lit, but it kind of looks like they are prepping in case 7, 8, [and] 9 also come through."

No decision has been decided on Diddly Squat's parking extension as of writing. The current deadline would mean Jeremy had to return the farm shop's "temporary" car park to its natural state by the end of the month. Whether this is indicative of future seasons being filmed, though, is unclear.
