Kaleb Cooper, the much-loved farming contractor who became a household name alongside Jeremy Clarkson on Clarkson’s Farm, has officially arrived in Australia to begin filming his brand-new Prime Video series, Kaleb: Down Under.
The 27-year-old from Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire, shared the exciting news with fans on Instagram on Thursday morning (October 23), posting a cheerful update from the other side of the world. “I’ve made it to Australia!” he wrote, alongside several photos capturing his first impressions of life Down Under — including a playful shot of an Australian white ibis, jokingly captioned: “I believe these are called bin chickens.”
A Farmer Far From Home
For Cooper, this marks a major milestone in both his professional and personal journey. The young father of three — who recently welcomed a baby boy, Ashton, with his partner Taya — is stepping outside his comfort zone to take on his biggest adventure yet.
Rising to fame as the quick-witted, no-nonsense farmhand on Jeremy Clarkson’s hit series Clarkson’s Farm, Kaleb quickly won fans over with his fierce work ethic, unfiltered honesty, and hilarious exasperation with his celebrity boss. Viewers have followed his growth across all four seasons of the Prime Video hit, most recently watching him help manage new animals, crops, and machinery during the show’s fourth season earlier this year.
Now, Cooper is swapping the rolling hills of the Cotswolds for the wide-open plains of Australia.
A New Chapter: ‘Kaleb: Down Under’
His upcoming four-part documentary series, Kaleb: Down Under, will follow him as he travels across the vast landscapes of Australia — exploring some of the largest and most advanced farming operations in the world. From battling the harsh climate to working with local farmers, Cooper will immerse himself in the challenges and innovations shaping agriculture on the other side of the globe.
Speaking ahead of his journey, Kaleb admitted that he was both nervous and excited about the prospect of leaving home for the first time.
“I spend most of my time with the most travelled man in the world,” he said, referring to Jeremy Clarkson. “So I got brave and booked my first-ever flight to see what all the fuss was about. Australia, here I come!”
The new series promises to blend Kaleb’s trademark humor and determination with genuine curiosity about the future of global farming.
“Australia, you’ll be gaining a new farmer for a couple of months,” he teased. “I want to find out if I can make my farming contracting business go international.”
From Diddly Squat to the Outback
Kaleb’s leap from the Cotswolds to the outback is symbolic of how far he’s come since his early days working for Clarkson. When Clarkson’s Farm first premiered in 2021, few could have predicted that the young contractor would steal the spotlight — but his sharp tongue, practical wisdom, and heartfelt passion for farming turned him into one of Britain’s most beloved TV personalities.
Despite his fame, Cooper has remained grounded, continuing to run his own agricultural contracting business in Chipping Norton. Over the years, fans have watched him grow from a local farmer to an outspoken advocate for young people in agriculture, frequently using his platform to highlight the struggles and joys of rural life.
Now, as he embarks on his first international adventure, Kaleb: Down Under represents both a professional challenge and a personal transformation — testing how a Cotswolds contractor adapts to the immense scale and extremes of Australian farming.
What to Expect
Produced by Expectation and commissioned by Amazon Studios, the four-part series is set to feature everything from high-tech crop management to life on sprawling cattle stations — offering an eye-opening look at the diversity of modern agriculture.
Viewers can expect Cooper’s signature mix of comedy and chaos, as he navigates foreign machinery, unpredictable wildlife, and the cultural quirks of Australian life. Rumors suggest the show will also highlight Kaleb’s interactions with Aussie farmers and showcase how he brings his trademark British farming perspective to a totally different landscape.
A Farmer on the Rise
With Clarkson’s Farm continuing to dominate Prime Video’s global charts and season five already in the works, Kaleb: Down Under marks the first time Cooper will headline his own series. For fans who have watched him evolve from Jeremy Clarkson’s apprentice to an independent farming entrepreneur, it’s a well-deserved next step.
And judging by his excitement on social media, Kaleb is ready for it. “I’ve made it to Australia!” he wrote — six words that signal a new chapter not only in his career but in his life.
Kaleb: Down Under will stream exclusively on Prime Video in 2026, taking viewers on a sun-scorched, dust-covered, and laughter-filled adventure through the heart of Australian farming — with Britain’s favorite young farmer at the wheel.
