Jeremy Clarkson's health struggles are front and center in the new season of Clarkson's Farm, but when was it filmed? The fifth series of the popular Prime Video show has returned, opening with high-stakes drama as the 66-year-old undergoes emergency heart surgery. In episode seven, released on Wednesday, June 17, Clarkson reveals to Kaleb Cooper that he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer.
Filming Timeline
The series, which follows Clarkson managing Diddly Squat Farm in Chipping Norton alongside partner Lisa Hogan and farmer Kaleb, began filming in November 2024. Clarkson announced the start dramatically with drone lights forming a giant '5' in the night sky, stating, 'Over the years, bright lights in the sky have been used to make many important announcements. But tonight, they're being used to make an announcement that's even bigger than that.'
Production wrapped in September 2025 after nearly a year of shooting, with Clarkson confirming 'It's a wrap' on his Instagram page. Following his successful heart procedure in October 2024, Clarkson was advised to take it easy but quickly returned to farm duties, dealing with unruly sheep, snail slime, and operating a Santa's Grotto.
Future Seasons
Fans hoping for a sixth series may face a wait, as it is not expected until summer 2027. Shooting has been hampered by adverse weather conditions and agricultural restrictions. The show's fifth season is now streaming on Prime Video, with episodes released weekly.
