Show’s future: Following a cliffhanger season 5 finale, Clarkson confirmed season 6 of Clarkson’s Farm is now in production.
Public message: He encouraged men to undergo prostate cancer screening, highlighting its potential to save lives.
Clarkson confirms remission and filming
Jeremy Clarkson announced via Instagram that he is ‘perfectly fine’ after doctors caught his aggressive prostate cancer early. The update came alongside news that Clarkson’s Farm season 6 is currently being filmed, dispelling fan uncertainty after season 5 ended with his diagnosis. Prime Video confirmed the new season is in production, though its release is expected in summer 2027.
Now, the more observant among you will have noticed that I’m not dead. And I’m not just not dead, I’m perfectly fine. My eyebrows, in particular, are looking very lustrous, and the reason why I’m fine is because the doctors caught it early, and they caught it early because I got tested.

From diagnosis to recovery
Clarkson revealed his diagnosis during season 5, describing it as ‘aggressive’ but ‘really early’ and undergoing targeted prostate surgery. Complications during treatment and a prior heart scare in 2024 added to what he called a ‘bit of a year.’ A later PSA test showed no evidence of cancer, marking his remission.
Clarkson’s Farm and prostate cancer awareness
– The show has become a recurring platform for prostate cancer awareness at scale.
– Gerald Cooper, a co-worker, previously disclosed his own prostate cancer diagnosis on the show.
– A documented viewer reported getting checked after seeing Clarkson and colleagues discuss urinary symptoms.
– Clarkson’s openness illustrates the importance of early detection and PSA testing for men over 60.
Advocacy for early testing
Using humor and blunt advice, Clarkson urged men to get screened for prostate cancer, noting it now requires only a blood test. He encouraged viewers to insist on testing even without symptoms, citing the 12,000 UK male deaths from the disease annually. His public disclosure has amplified awareness beyond traditional health campaigns.
Production challenges for season 6
Season 6 filming has faced delays from relentless rain, TB restrictions affecting livestock, and earlier production pauses. Clarkson had hinted at work on the series before his diagnosis, but weather and health setbacks slowed progress. Despite these hurdles, both Clarkson and Prime Video confirmed the show will return, albeit later than usual.
