Jeremy Clarkson’s hit Amazon series is set to return for a sixth instalment in summer 2027, according to newly surfaced planning documents.
Clarkson’s Farm follows the former Top Gear presenter as he attempts to run his Diddly Squat Farm.
While the fifth series is due to launch on Amazon Prime Video this June, fresh paperwork submitted to West Oxfordshire District Council has now revealed a sixth run has already been commissioned and is expected to air next year.
The update comes despite the TV star previously admitting filming had been disrupted earlier this year due to poor weather conditions.
The new details emerged as part of an application linked to the ongoing operation of the farm shop, where Mr Clarkson is seeking to extend permission to use adjacent land for parking until the end of the decade.
Planning representatives argued the continued success of both the shop and the television series has driven sustained visitor demand, with the programme itself described as a “unique circumstance” behind the site’s popularity.
They noted earlier approvals were granted on a temporary basis, allowing officials to monitor interest while the show remained on air.
However, with further series now confirmed, an extension is being sought until December 2030.

AMAZON STUDIOSThe documents state the upcoming fifth series has yet to air, while a sixth has already been greenlit and scheduled for a summer 2027 release.
Additional time is said to be needed afterwards to assess ongoing demand.
The series, which first launched in 2021, has become a breakout success, shining a spotlight on the financial pressures and day-to-day struggles facing farmers across the UK.
The journalist purchased the Oxfordshire site, formerly known as Curdle Hill Farm, nearly two decades ago, before taking a more hands-on role in 2019 and rebranding it with its now-famous name.
Clarkson’s Farm: Jeremy Clarkson and his team

AMAZONMr Clarkson’s farming venture has not been without controversy.
There have been previous planning disputes over developments on the land, including a restaurant that was later forced to close, drawing attention from the local authority.
Beyond the farm itself, the TV star has expanded his rural business interests, including opening a countryside pub focused on British produce and becoming an outspoken advocate for the farming community.
His recent advocacy has centred on what he has described as a “hammer blow” to family farms, particularly proposed tax reforms.
In November 2024, Mr Clarkson joined an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 farmers in Westminster to protest planned changes to inheritance tax, often dubbed the “family farm tax”.
During the demonstration, he clashed with Victoria Derbyshire, accusing the BBC of acting as a “mouthpiece” for the Government when questioned about his own financial interests.
He has since stepped up pressure on ministers, urging them to “back down” on what he called a “rushed mistake” that could force families to sell generational land.

Mr Clarkson strongly opposes the proposed 20 per cent inheritance tax on agricultural assets over £1 million, arguing it threatens the survival of family-run farms.
He has also highlighted what he sees as unfair supply chains, pointing out farmers can receive as little as 25p for wheat used in a £1.40 loaf of bread while bearing most of the financial risk.
A decision on the latest planning application is expected at a later date.
