Jeremy Clarkson has revealed that filming is well underway on Clarkson’s Farm season four as the countdown begins.
The popular Prime Video show began in 2021 and documents life on the star’s farm in Chadlington near Chipping Norton.
Clarkson bought Diddly Squat Farm in 2008 and the documentary has brought awareness to issues facing farmers across the country.

With three seasons to date, the series is watched by millions of viewers around the world and has garnered a major following.
This has led to a tourism boom in Oxfordshire with thousands turning up weekly to catch a glimpse of Clarkson.
The former Top Gear host is often spotted at the Diddly Squat Farm Shop while other stars of the show such as Kaleb Cooper, Charlie Ireland and Gerald Cooper have also been seen.

Season three of Clarkson’s Farm was released in two parts across May and the producers wasted no time in starting filming for the following season.
Posting on the official Diddly Squat Farm Shop Facebook page on Wednesday, June 5, the team said: “Another day, in the can. S4.”
This was accompanied by a photograph showing the crews’ radios and microphones stacked together after a day of filming.

Clarkson himself also revealed an update that week, taking to Instagram to post a photograph of a laptop with “Four” and “Clarkson’s Farm” on the screen.
A release date for season four is yet to be announced with production still ongoing but it is likely that the upcoming collection of episodes will be released in the summer of 2025.
There has been over a year’s gap between each of the seasons so with season three having a spring airing date, next summer will likely be the earliest possible date.

Season four will feature more agricultural antics from the cast but it remains to be seen how much of a part the local council will play in proceedings.
West Oxfordshire District Council has faced a backlash from fans of the Prime Video show after quarrelling with Clarkson at several points.
This included the council threatening to enact an enforcement notice on the farm shop to stop it from selling non-local food.

Speaking to the Oxford Mail, a council spokesperson said: “The work Diddly Squat Farm is doing to highlight the wider challenges faced by farmers is commendable and we have always recognised the benefits the farm shop brings to the local economy.
“However, as a planning authority, we have a responsibility to make sure that national and local planning laws and policies are followed correctly by everyone.
“We must be fair and so we apply the same laws and rules to Diddly Squat Farm in the same way as any other business.”
