Channel 4 has confirmed that the hit comfort show Our Farm Next Door will return for two more seasons on More4. The Yorkshire-based series follows the Owen family - Amanda, Clive and their nine children - as they renovate a centuries-old farmhouse called Anty John's.
Renewal Details
The series has been More4's highest rated show for three years. Production company Wise Owl Films will continue to follow the Owens for seasons five and six, spanning 10 episodes in total. Season five is set to pick up where the fourth instalment left off, following Amanda and the girls' first sleepover at Anty John's. It will also cover the family's lives from this past summer all the way into spring 2027.
What to Expect
The broadcaster has teased the upcoming seasons, revealing: "With all eleven Owens involved, the series follows Edith, Violet and their sisters as they open up the cream tea van at Ravenseat, while Sid and Miles continue to take on more farming duties – all amidst the ever-present backdrop of the changing seasons in Swaledale for Amanda, Clive and their family."
Jayne Stanger, Commissioning Editor for the channel, said: "Our Farm Next Door is a joy of a series that holds a special place in the hearts of our More4 viewers. I am thrilled we’re continuing to work with the team at Wise Owl to follow Amanda, Clive and the whole family on their renovation journey and I can’t wait to see whether Anty John’s might ever be finished!"
Production Team Comments
James Knight, Creative Director at Wise Owl Films, added: "Amanda admits she has never seen a renovation show on TV, which might help explain why we think Our Farm Next Door is unlike any other series on television. The combination of family life, the farming calendar and the subject of succession on the farm, the ever-revealing history of Anty John’s and of course the appropriately slow (reflecting Swaledale life) renovation of the building means there is always something fascinating going on for us filming with the Owens."
Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids can be streamed on Channel 4's on-demand service. The final episode of season four will air on More4 tonight (November 2) at 9pm.
