Clarkson’s Farm fans have been given a major update about the show, as the show producer has said there will be new episodes coming soon. But it seems the future of the hit series has been left hanging in the balance, as he hinted that it could come to an end sooner rather than later. Viewers are expecting to watch the new season in just weeks’ time, and with a surprising ‘Christmas special’ that the show producer described as ‘the best television to make ever’.
Andy Wilman, series producer and long-time pal of Jeremy Clarkson, said the new episodes would be on a ‘slow release drop’, but it could be available on Prime Video as early as next month. Speaking on the Extraordinary Life Stories podcast, he mentioned filming a scene in the pub at Christmas time and shared: “Jeremy wants to make a Santa’s grotto so he has a meeting with Charlie talking about what he wants to do and I think that is the best scene I’ve ever, ever seen them do and I remember the editor and I looking at each other saying ‘this is the best television to make ever’. When it goes out, you’ll see what I mean.
“Then Kaleb and Jeremy build the grotto together and Kaleb’s view on the creation of mankind is blindingly brilliant.”
There have been speculations that the fifth series will mark its conclusion as fans spotted several clues indicating the programme is approaching its finale.
Andy said the fate of the show depends on whether Jeremy had new ideas for another season on, and the partnership with Prime Video was done on a ‘rolling basis’.
“You’ve got to remember this is Jeremy’s show, it’s not like mine and his or his and Richard’s, it’s his baby and if at the end of a series, he can think of something he wants to do for another series, then he’ll do it,” he added.
“But if he can’t think of anything to do or say, then that would be the end of it – it hasn’t happened yet but that’s the agreement he has with Amazon that we do it all on a rolling basis.
“Every series we have is a bonus and we have to treat it like the Grand Tour, that every series we have is a bonus – and each time we’re thinking we’re in uncharted territory with the farming show. It’s the most joyous thing to edit.”
