Clarkson's Farm returning for season 2 as Amazon make screeching u-turn over fuming fans

Clarkson's Farm is back for a second series - which will delight fans, who were left furious after Jeremy Clarkson suggested that the show wouldn't be returning.

Jeremy, 61, told viewers to "write to Amazon" if they wanted it to return as it wasn't set to come back.

The show, which ranked highly for the streaming giant, saw the former Top Gear presenter take on the challenge of running his farm Diddly Squat - which he has owned since 2008 - in the Cotswolds.

Fans quickly fell in love with the programme, though the presenter admitted that it was "expensive failure" after the farm made an annual profit of just £114 in its first year.

Jeremy was badgered by viewers about whether it would return, and they were deeply upset when he tweeted: "No. We aren't. Write to Amazon, it's their decision."

As a result, frustrated fans tweeted at Amazon, demanding that the show return, with one tweeting: "@PrimeVideo pleasepleaseplease it was the best thing I've seen all year."

While another commented: "@primevideouk @AmazonUK what on earth are you doing?! Get series 2 signed off, now! @JeffBezos."

And they have got their wish, with Amazon Prime Video confirming that Clarkson's Farm would be back following the success of the first season.

The second season will see Jeremy attempt to diversity and expand his limited agricultural knowledge under the watchful eye of his no-nonsense team.

Responding to the news, Jeremy said: "I’m absolutely delighted that, once again you’ll be able to spend some time with Cheerful Charlie, Gerald, Lisa and of course, Kaleb. We are such a happy team."

Dan Grabiner, Head of UK Originals, Amazon Studios: "Clarkson’s Farm is Jeremy’s unfiltered love letter to farming. It is that authenticity, charm and humour, combined with the farm’s fantastic characters, which have made the series such a remarkable hit with audiences.

“We are delighted to be joining the team for another year-in-the-life of Diddly Squat, and wish Kaleb and farmers across the country luck as Mother Nature continues to take revenge on Jeremy.”
