Fletchers' Family Farm fans have declared they "can't wait" following a delightful video from the stars confirming the programme's future. Former Emmerdale star Kelvin Fletcher's show — which chronicles his life alongside wife Liz and their children on their Peak District farm — has proved enormously popular with audiences since launching in 2023.
Earlier this month, ITV announced it had commissioned two further series. The Fletchers have now posted a clip on Instagram featuring their daughter Marnie breaking the news. The nine-year-old was filmed calling out enthusiastically to her dad, who was occupied feeding the sheep.
"I've got some news!" she shouted, but Kelvin said he couldn't hear her. She then attempted to tell little brother Milo, who was riding his toy bike, before calling out to her mum Liz and twin brothers Mateusz and Maximus, who are four. "What did she say?" they asked one another.
Marnie then declared: "Guys! The Fletchers are back. Series five and six, let's go!" Viewers were enchanted by the clip, which was posted on Instagram with the caption: "WE ARE BACK! Who's excited?!"
"Love this!" commented one person, while another wrote: "Absolutely love this show, always lifts me up, such a lovely family." Another described the programme as "one of the best things on TV". "Excellent news," remarked someone else, as another fan exclaimed: "Fletchers are BACK let's gooooooooooooooooo."
"Great news!" observed another viewer, as one admitted: "I'm that excited I almost peed my pants." "Wonderful wonderful news and amazing family," gushed one viewer, while another declared it was the "best show".
Kelvin, who is best known for his portrayal of Andy Sugden in ITV's Emmerdale, first chronicled his agricultural journey in Kelvin's Big Farming Adventure, before he and Liz went on to front Fletchers' Family Farm together. The series has proven a resounding hit with audiences keen to follow the family's escapades on their 120-acre farm, with four series now having aired.
Upon confirmation of the two new series, Kelvin and Liz commented: "We're delighted to be returning for series five and six. What started as a simple desire to share our family's journey has grown into something far bigger than we ever imagined." Fletchers' Family Farm airs on ITV.
