Jeremy Clarkson has confirmed the fifth season of Clarkson’s Farm.

The former Top Gear presenter, 64, has led the Prime Video show across four seasons as it covers him getting to grips with the difficulties of farming on his land in Oxfordshire.

The explosive announcement was made on Bonfire Night in a Prime Video clip with the number five written in the sky with fireworks.

In the video Mr Clarkson joked the announcement was bigger than the "birth of the baby Jesus".

He said: “Over the years, bright lights in the sky have been used to make many important announcements, the birth of the baby Jesus, for example.

“But tonight, they’re being used to make an announcement that’s even bigger than that. Season five of Clarkson’s Farm is coming.”

Season four of the show is not expected until next year.

The most recent series covered Mr Clarkson’s planning battles with West Oxfordshire District Council after plans for a car park and a restaurant at Diddly Squat Farm were thwarted, as well as the impact of the 2022 drought on the farm. 

It also featured his assistant Kaleb Cooper and land agent Charlie Ireland meeting former prime minister Rishi Sunak during a food producers meeting at Downing Street.

The series has attracted huge attention to his Diddly Squat Farm shop, which has seen queues in Chadlington, near Chipping Norton, as fans of the show descend on the rural location.

Mr Clarkson has opened more businesses including Hawkstone Brewery, and a pub in Asthall, near Burford – called The Farmer’s Dog, since the show began in 2021.

Last month, Mr Clarkson revealed his doctors had advised him to slow down following a heart procedure.

However, the presenter, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? host and columnist instead said he would be changing his diet in The Sun newspaper.

Series five of Clarkson’s Farm is currently in production.
