Clarkson’s Farm Season 4: New Ventures, New Faces, and a Personal Crisis at Diddly Squat

Jeremy Clarkson returns to Amazon Prime Video with the highly anticipated fourth season of Clarkson’s Farm, and this time, the stakes are higher than ever. Released in staggered batches starting from 23 May 2025, the new season dives deep into the ever-challenging world of farming — but with a fresh twist: Clarkson’s ambitious plan to revive a local pub while managing the chaos of Diddly Squat.


A Fractured Release Schedule

Fans were left both excited and frustrated as Season 4 debuted with a staggered release — a decision that’s sparked debate across social media. The eight-episode season is split into three phases:

  • Episodes 1–4 dropped on 23 May.

  • Episodes 5–6 land on 30 May.

  • Episodes 7–8 conclude the series on 6 June.

Even Clarkson himself took a jab at the release schedule, voicing his disappointment about not being able to binge-watch his own show.


What’s New at Diddly Squat?

Season 4 picks up a few months after the events of Season 3. With Kaleb Cooper off on a national tour and Lisa Hogan focused on expanding her product line, Clarkson finds himself bearing the brunt of farm management solo — and it doesn’t go smoothly.

To relieve pressure on the overcrowded Diddly Squat Farm Shop — and possibly appease his local council critics — Clarkson purchases a derelict village pub, cheekily renamed The Farmer’s Dog. The plan? Renovate it and make it a community hub that celebrates local produce and culture.

However, as is often the case with Clarkson’s ideas, nothing is straightforward. From planning permission nightmares to historical quirks hidden in the pub’s foundations, Clarkson’s journey to becoming a publican is filled with hilarious setbacks and unexpected revelations.


A New Face on the Farm: Harriet Cowan

With Kaleb temporarily out of the picture, a new farmhand steps up. Harriet Cowan, 24, proves to be an invaluable addition to Diddly Squat. Her practical know-how, no-nonsense attitude, and quiet resilience quickly win over Clarkson — so much so that in one heartfelt episode, Jeremy credits her with “saving his life.”

The emotional weight of that moment underscores the challenges he’s faced not just as a farmer, but as a man balancing health, public scrutiny, and the relentless demands of rural life.


Clarkson’s Health Scare

In one of the most vulnerable revelations of the series, Jeremy opens up about a serious health scare that occurred during filming. The former Top Gear presenter suffered from two blocked arteries, requiring emergency heart surgery.

The stress of launching the new pub, managing the farm without his full team, and enduring constant friction with local authorities took a toll. Season 4 doesn’t shy away from these personal challenges, offering viewers a raw and honest look at the real-world consequences of overwork and stress.


Fan Reactions and What’s Next

Despite the unusual episode rollout, Clarkson’s Farm remains one of Prime Video’s most popular UK originals. The mix of comedy, chaos, countryside charm, and real-world issues continues to resonate with audiences far beyond the farming community.

The good news? Season 5 has already been confirmed, with production reportedly underway. Fans can expect more agricultural drama, local authority clashes, and probably another ambitious (and borderline insane) Clarkson project.


Final Thoughts

Season 4 of Clarkson’s Farm balances entertainment with authenticity. From laughter-inducing mishaps to genuine emotional moments, this series remains a testament to rural resilience — and Clarkson’s sheer stubbornness.

Whether you’re here for the sheep shearing, the pub renovations, or Jeremy’s unexpected vulnerability, Season 4 delivers another wild ride through the mud and mayhem of Diddly Squat Farm.


Where to Watch
All episodes of Clarkson’s Farm Season 4 are available on Amazon Prime Video, with new episodes releasing weekly until 6 June 2025.
