A look at Jeremy Clarkson’s plans for Clarkson’s Farm season four
Filming for Clarkson’s Farm season four is under way, although Jeremy Clarkson revealed it was temporarily halted over the weekend. Season three was packed full of drama so the latest one has a lot to live up to.
Clarkson’s Farm season three – which launched on Prime Video earlier in May – captured Clarkson come up with new ideas to make money on Diddly Squat Farm. Some of the big talking moments of the latest season included Clarkson’s win against the council, Clarkson’s Farm stars threatened with being ‘thrown out’ of Downing Street and more.
At a Q&A held at Diddly Squat Farm to celebrate the third season, it was revealed the fourth season was being filmed at the moment. Clarkson himself confirmed: “It’s not [the end]. We are filming season four right now.”
So, having watched season three, what can we expect from season four?
Win against council
Tearful Clarkson was delighted to reveal Diddly Squat Farm was “back in business” after the latest win against the council in season three. The presenter had been gutted at the start of the season when he had to shut his restaurant down thanks to the council.
However, his luck changed. Towards the end of the season in stark contrast, Clarkson was celebrating the farm being given the green light for the extras for the next three years.
They build a car park at the end of season three so we can expect to see how Clarkson puts all of his new plans of the farm into place in season four. We can’t wait to see how it all turns out.
Clarkson explained in season three: “For purposes and clarity – this is the planning inspector – correct the allegation to a change of use to a mixed use comprising agriculture, cafe, restaurant, farm shop, parking and lavatory facilities.
“The whole lot. That’s gone, we can’t have a restaurant there but we can have this here. We can make that a cafe in there. This is the biggest f*** you to the council ever.”
Clarkson’s pub?
It was reported that Clarkson is in talks to buy a Cotswolds pub. Reports emerged that the former Grand Tour presenter had set his sights on splashing out on The Coach and Horses pub, which is conveniently located opposite his Hawkstone Brewery.
Clarkson was linked to the pub when he was seen in the car park with his film crew earlier this year.
Also earlier this year, Cotswold District Council approved a new premises licence for the pub meaning it can sell alcohol from 11am to 11pm every day of the week.
New animals
Every season Clarkson introduces new animals on the farm to show off another element of farm life. The reason for this is because he wants to do real farming and bring it to the TV. He said: “We want to do real farming and show everybody what real farming is. So whatever happens on the farm, we show it on television.”
This season he said goodbye to the majority of the cows which led to fan favourite Pepper being sent away from the farm. Luckily though, later in season three it was revealed Pepper was saved from abattoir fate in a big twist as she got pregnant and had a calf of her own.
This season they introduced pigs and goats to the farm. The pigs caused plenty of heartache as many of the piglets died. Plus, Clarkson broke down in tears as pig Baroness was euthanised. We can’t wait to see what animals Clarkson is planning to get next!

Will Clarkson’s Farm be renewed for season 5?
As season three hit streaming services on Prime Video, Lisa Hogan revealed the special reason they would love to keep on filming Clarkson’s Farm and it seems they have no plans of slowing down any time soon.
She said: “As long as it’s educating people, and showing people how difficult farming is, and it’s helping people appreciate food in a way that they may not have before. Maybe people will pop their bread in the freezer instead of throwing it out when they see how much work goes into making a loaf of bread.”
