Season 2 of the hit series Clarkson’s Farm has come out on Amazon Prime, and with Jeremy Clarkson’s media whirlwind, many fans have been left unsure about the fate of the show.
Well, Clarkson has now addressed fans worries, and it seems we’re still in for a third season.
The show has done very well on the streaming site, much to the surprise of Clarkson who was skeptical that people would enjoy it.
He revealed to LADbible: “I thought Clarkson’s Farm would serve up gentle disappointment to fans of The Grand Tour.”
“They’d watch the first one, maybe the first three, and that would dwindle to nobody watching.
“And then obviously the first inkling that all was well was there was a Guardian review the day after it aired, which said it was appalling and dreadful and an insult to farmers, and I thought, ‘The Guardian hate it – I think we’re on to something here.’”
And it seems he puts the success of the show down to his co-star “Kaleb,” sharing that he thinks “he’s an absolute star.”
“And what I love about Kaleb is he just has no airs and graces around me at all, it’s just, ‘You f***ing useless w***er.’
“That happens on a daily basis, and I live in constant fear of upsetting him – which I know I’ve done. I did something yesterday so bad, and I know he’s going to find out, and I couldn’t sleep last night thinking, ‘He is going to be livid with me.’”
And now, season 2 has officially dropped. The synopsis for this season reads: “Jeremy Clarkson, Britain’s best-known but least-qualified amateur farmer is back!
“Another year in the life of Diddly Squat farm begins, and all the regular characters are still here, helping Jeremy as much as they can: Kaleb’s on hand to show him How to Actually Run a Farm, Lisa’s running the shop, Charlie’s always ready to deliver more brutal home truths, and Gerald’s still Head of Security, with his own unique way of expressing himself.
“With farmers across the country facing the impact of Brexit and the impending loss of subsidies, all are forced to diversify and Jeremy’s got big plans: he wants a herd of cows, he wants a load more chickens, and he wants his own restaurant where he can serve up a menu entirely made up of Diddly Squat produce, with the ambition of increasing his annual profit from last year (£144). All farms are busy, but this one is about to get a whole lot busier…”
And after watching the first few episodes, there’s one thing that’s on everyone’s minds… is the show going to get another season?
Clarkson took to Twitter over the weekend to urge his followers to watch the second season after it landed on Amazon.
In response to his tweet, one fan gushed over their love for the show, but questioned whether it would be returning, “I loved it watched it on Saturday that just passed, loved the show can’t wait for a season 3 if there is one,” they tweeted.
Three phrases from Clarkson’s response will undoubtedly give his devoted followers a great deal of optimism. He reaffirmed that the previously commissioned third season will proceed by saying, “There is one.”
This resulted in a lot of excited comments, one fan wrote: “Best news I’ve heard in a LONG time! I have learned so much from Clarkson’s Farm. I was never appreciative of or properly thankful for the work and sacrifice that goes into my daily bread. I am now. Thank you.”
While another added: “Glad to hear it! If Amazon tries to cancel you, I’m canceling Amazon. What you are doing is one of the most entertaining shows out there. It is also important to our civilization. People have forgotten what it takes to put food on the table and the importance of farmers/ranchers.”
