Jeremy Clarkson is heading back to the farm, but this time he's bringing a car with him. Prime Video has confirmed that a new "Clarkson's Farm" special titled "Jeremy Grows a Car" will arrive on the streaming service in 2027, extending one of the platform's most popular factual franchises into fresh territory.
The special promises to follow Clarkson as he takes on his latest agricultural challenge. According to the official synopsis, viewers will watch the former "Top Gear" presenter "embark on his latest adventure, farming" - a pursuit that the description notes is "the most manually labour intensive job there is" for a man who "on several occasions claims to be allergic to manual labour." The synopsis closes with a question that has become something of a trademark for the series: "What could possibly go wrong?"
That blend of self-deprecating humour and genuine agricultural stakes has been the engine of "Clarkson's Farm" since it premiered on June 11, 2021. The show pairs Clarkson's blustering enthusiasm with the grounded expertise of the people around him, and the new special appears set to continue that formula.
A familiar cast returns
"Jeremy Grows a Car" will bring back the core ensemble that has made the series a hit. Clarkson leads as host, with Kaleb Cooper returning as the young farmer whose practical know-how routinely collides with his employer's grander ideas. Charlie Ireland is back as the land agent tasked with keeping the operation financially viable, while Lisa Hogan and Gerald Cooper also reprise their roles.
The chemistry among that group has been central to the show's appeal. Cooper's exasperation with Clarkson's schemes and Ireland's sober cost assessments have provided some of the series' most memorable moments, and their presence in the special suggests the new instalment will stay true to the established dynamic. The genre listing - reality with a strong comedic bent - reflects the tone that has drawn both farming enthusiasts and viewers with no particular interest in agriculture.
Strong ratings and a growing franchise
The franchise's commercial performance helps explain Prime Video's willingness to keep expanding it. "Clarkson's Farm" holds a TMDb rating of 8.5 out of 10, a figure that places it among the better-reviewed unscripted titles on the service. That score reflects an audience that has embraced the show's mix of genuine farming education and slapstick mishaps.
The 2021 debut established the template: Clarkson, a man more accustomed to reviewing supercars than tending crops, attempts to run a working farm in Oxfordshire. The premise could easily have worn thin, but the series found a following by taking the farming seriously even as it mined comedy from Clarkson's repeated missteps. A special built around the idea of "growing a car" suggests the production is willing to push that premise into more experimental territory.
Runtime details for the special have not been announced, and the director is not yet confirmed. What is clear is that the release is set for 2027, placing it at least a year out from today's announcement. Prime Video has not specified a month or a more precise window.
Why the special matters for Prime Video
For the streaming platform, "Clarkson's Farm" represents a reliable performer in a genre that has become increasingly valuable. Unscripted programming tends to cost less than scripted drama while generating loyal viewership, and the Clarkson brand carries recognition well beyond the United Kingdom. The original language of the series is English, and it has travelled to international audiences without the kind of cultural translation that scripted imports often require.
The special also arrives as Clarkson's post-motoring career continues to consolidate. Having spent years as one of the most recognisable faces in car journalism, he has found a second act in agriculture that trades on the same persona - opinionated, comedic, frequently out of his depth - while letting him do something genuinely different. Whether he can extend that formula to a car-themed farming special is the question the 2027 release will answer.
For now, fans have a title, a premise and a year. Given the show's track record, that may be enough to sustain anticipation through the long wait.
