Clarkson's Farm

Amazon Prime Video has provided a teaser of what could be in store for fans as Jeremy Clarkson's farming documentary makes an epic comeback next month.

With the return of Clarkson's Farm on May 23, devotees of the show have been given a glimpse of what may lie ahead in the fourth season.

According to the streaming service, Jeremy - alongside Kaleb Cooper, Lisa Hogan, Charlie Ireland and Gerald Cooper - will navigate 'new challenges, ambitious projects, and hilarious moments' at Diddly Squat Farm.

However, the show has revealed that it has been one of the toughest years ever for British farmers, considering Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Autumn Budget changes to taxation on inherited agricultural assets, and perilous conditions producers faced last year when battling adverse weather conditions.

"After rounding off season three with the Diddly Squat gang toasting a tumultuous year, we return a few months later to find life on the farm has changed," a spokesperson for Amazon Prime Video said.

"Kaleb is on a nationwide tour, Lisa is working on a new product line, and Jeremy is left to run the farm alone.

"In Kaleb's absence, Jeremy must keep Diddly on track and come up with an idea.

"[However] Mother nature conspires to make this one of the toughest years ever for British farmers, but when the whole gang pulls together, anything is possible."

Diversification

And expect to see how Jeremy opened his pub, The Farmer's Dog, and why he will back as much British farmed produce in his food offering as possible.

"Thwarted in his attempts to open a farm to fork restaurant, Jeremy plans to reignite that vision and get back in [West Oxfordshire District] Council's good books by drawing crowds away from the farm shop," the streaming service added.

"All he needs to do is buy a pub. However, the road to becoming a pub landlord is not straightforward either.

"Jeremy faces obstacles including derelict buildings, red tape and a picnic site with a colourful past. Cheerful Charlie lends a hand, but even he is not prepared for the challenges that arise once Jeremy finds his perfect pub."

Episodes one to four will be available to stream on May 23, with two additional episodes released a week later on May 30, followed by the final two on June 6.
