Exclusive: Andy Wilman looks like a man who’s not seen sunlight for a while. Peering down the barrel of a Zoom call, he’s got a touch of man flu after a spell in his editing bunker. Wilman is perpetually “in an edit.” He’s currently honing the final episode of The Grand Tour, but he could just as well be looking at rushes from Clarkson’s Farm Season 4. It is his happy place.
We talk just days after Season 3 has been confirmed as Amazon Prime Video’s highest-rated UK original, sitting acres ahead of lavishly-budgeted series including Fallout and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Not bad for a show in which the centerpiece storyline is the birthing journey of a pig named Baroness. Clarkson’s Farm was, in Wilman’s words, conceived as Clarkson’s “solo album” away from Richard Hammond and James May, but...

It's hard to imagine a show like Clarkson's Farm becoming one of the top-rated shows on Prime Video. In February of 2023, it broke viewing records in the UK, and the 2024 season has already snatched the top spot from Baby Reindeer, with only four episodes released.
What makes Clarkson's Farm so compelling, however, is the imbecilic, blundering buffoon that headlines the series, Jeremy Clarkson, along with his deadpan sidekick, Kaleb Cooper.
The thing is, Clarkson isn't a fool. He's simply in over his head, diving headlong into an immensely complicated livelihood, far more than anything he has ever encountered. Clarkson's journey from Top Gear to the difficulties of full-time farming is relatable.
Apart from establishing an intimate link between the audience and the show, it makes for some hilarious moments throughout the series. Authenticity is the name of the game here, and it's the beating heart behind the colorful characters that inhabit Chipping Norton,...

Exclusive: Don’t bet the farm on Amazon parting ways with Jeremy Clarkson. Deadline can reveal that Amazon Prime Video is preparing to renew Clarkson’s Farm following claims that the streaming giant had canceled the presenter over his Meghan Markle tirade.
Multiple sources said relations had improved and Amazon is in active talks with Clarkson over Season 4 of the farming documentary series, which is easily its best-performing UK original.
A deal is not finalized and there could yet be another plot twist, but those familiar with the matter said discussions have been positive and there is ambition on both sides to bring the show back. Amazon declined to comment.
Production outfit Expectation is currently making Season 3 for a 2024 premiere. A renewal would continue to see cameras rolling next year at Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds.
Although the Clarkson’s Farm talks are progressing, two sources said there was a...
