Viewers have been eagerly waiting to find out the series five release date ever since filming officially wrapped in September 2025.
Now, a confirmed date has been given by Prime Video this afternoon (Monday, April 20), with the first episodes set to be released in June.
Despite previous suggestions that some of the series would be coming out in May, it has now been officially stated to start on Wednesday, June 3.
This came in a social media post across the Prime Video accounts, which said: “Not long now… Clarkson’s Farm Series 5 drops 3rd June.”

Across the first four series of Clarkson’s Farm, Mr Clarkson documents his attempt to run Diddly Squat, after his tenant farmer retires, quickly discovering how hard it is to grow crops, manage sheep and turn a profit.
The early series follow a full farming year as he battles the weather, machinery breakdowns, sheep chaos and tight margins, while gradually adding things like wilding projects, a farm shop and a restaurant that repeatedly runs into planning rows.
Later episodes bring in new ventures such as pigs, goats, mushrooms and more “farm‑to‑fork” ideas, as he experiments with regenerative agriculture and searches for ways to make the mixed arable and livestock business financially viable.
By series four, Kaleb is away on tour, and Lisa is tied up with a new product line, leaving Clarkson to juggle the farm largely on his own, bring in a new farmhand, and even try to buy and revive a local pub as another strand of his attempt to keep Diddly Squat afloat.
The former Top Gear and Grand Tour host delivered the update via social media this evening (Tuesday, June 16) ahead of the release of the final two Clarkson’s Farm episodes.
The fifth series of the highly popular show premiered on June 3 and has already seen Mr Clarkson battling a major health scare and embrace high-tech farming.

Set at his 1,000-acre Oxfordshire farm Diddly Squat, in addition the latest season has shown the television host planning for the first festive period at his pub The Farmer’s Dog.
However, the next two episodes – which will be released tonight – are set to be very downbeat.
On Instagram, he said he had “sombre news”.
He added: “Ordinarily we try to keep the show bucolic and charming and cheerful.
“But the final two episodes which drop in the middle of the night tonight are none of those things really. They are a difficult watch.
“They’re really, really difficult.”
Reiterating that, the episode titles are ‘Reaping’ and ‘Sickening’ and may show the bovine TB outbreak that occurred at Diddly Squat in 2025.
