First look: Filming underway on Clarkson’s Farm Season 2

Filming is underway for Clarkson’s Farm Season 2, and new images give us a first look at the show’s return.
The series, produced by Expectation and Con Dao Productions, follows an intense year in the life of Britain’s most unlikely farmer, Jeremy Clarkson. It sees Clarkson and a rag-tag band of agricultural associates contend with the worst farming weather in decades, disobedient animals, unresponsive crops and an unexpected pandemic, as they attempt to run Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton.
Amazon rapidly ordered a second season, which will see Clarkson diversify, expanding his limited agricultural knowledge under the watchful eye of his no-nonsense team – including tractor driver Kaleb, stone wall favourite Gerald, advisor “Cheerful” Charlie, and Jeremy’s better-half-turned-farm-shop-keeper Lisa.
“Underneath it all is the surprising warmth and sincerity that exudes from this older, quieter Clarkson, who is prepared to learn from others and willing to acknowledge the very serious concerns facing the agricultural industry,” we wrote in our positive review of the first season.
Amazon renews Clarkson’s Farm for Season 2
27th July 2021
Amazon will return to Clarkson’s Farm for a second season.
The series, produced by Expectation and Con Dao Productions, follows an intense year in the life of Britain’s most unlikely farmer, Jeremy Clarkson. It sees Clarkson and a rag-tag band of agricultural associates contend with the worst farming weather in decades, disobedient animals, unresponsive crops and an unexpected pandemic, as they attempt to run Diddly Squat Farm.
The series has evidently struck a chord with viewers, with Amazon rapidly greenlighting a second season, which will see Clarkson diversify, expanding his limited agricultural knowledge under the watchful eye of his no-nonsense team – including tractor driver Kaleb, stone wall favourite Gerald, advisor “Cheerful” Charlie, and Jeremy’s better-half-turned-farm-shop-keeper Lisa.
“I’m absolutely delighted that, once again you’ll be able to spend some time with Cheerful Charlie, Gerald, Lisa and of course, Kaleb,” said Jeremy Clarkson. “We are such a happy team.”
“Clarkson’s Farm is Jeremy’s unfiltered love letter to farming,” said Dan Grabiner, Head of UK Originals, Amazon Studios. “It is that authenticity, charm and humour, combined with the farm’s fantastic characters, which have made the series such a remarkable hit with audiences. We are delighted to be joining the team for another year-in-the-life of Diddly Squat, and wish Kaleb and farmers across the country luck as Mother Nature continues to take revenge on Jeremy.”
The Executive Producers are Peter Fincham and Andy Wilman and the Series Director is Will Yapp. Filming on Season 2 is now under way.
Clarkson’s Farm is available to watch online on Amazon Prime Video as part of a Prime membership or a £5.99 monthly subscription.
