Jeremy Clarkson is back on a hospital bed in the new trailer for Clarksons Farm Season 5, after what he says was a frightening heart scare that sent him to hospital by blue light. The latest run of the farm series lands on June 3, and Prime Video is using the trailer to remind viewers that life at Diddly Squat has never been short of emergencies.
Clarkson had a stent fitted in 2024 after feeling clammy and suffering chest tightness, and he later told Kaleb Cooper, “My heart wasn’t getting any blood,” a line that now hangs over the new season’s opening moments. The trailer also shows that Season 5 will not be limited to one problem: there is a tuberculosis outbreak on Diddly Squat, a Christmas grotto, and Clarkson heading to a farming protest in London, all while Cooper is shown not exactly racing to his partner’s side as she goes into labor.
The scale of the release also matters. Prime Video will drop the first four episodes on June 3, then release the remaining half of the season in two-episode batches on June 10 and June 17. For viewers, that means the new season arrives in stages rather than all at once, stretching the farm drama through much of June and keeping the show in the conversation well after premiere day.
Clarkson wrote about the heart procedure in 2024, when he said he had the stent fitted to open up a blocked artery after the scare. That personal moment now feeds directly into the season’s trailer, giving the new episodes a more serious edge than the usual harvest mishaps and business headaches. It also broadens the story beyond the farm gate, with the London protest and the seasonal Christmas set piece showing how the show continues to mix the local and the public-facing sides of Clarkson’s life.
There is, however, one question that hangs over the series even as Season 5 arrives: whether it will continue beyond this run. Prime Video has not officially confirmed a renewal, but Clarkson said earlier this year that the show has already been renewed. He said, “We’ll definitely do six – Amazon want to [do season six] and I want to. I’ve got a good idea for six,” adding, “I said I’ll stop doing them when there are no more ideas,” and, “But I’ve got two quite good ones, so we’ll do six and then we’ll see.”
That leaves Clarksons Farm Season 5 in an unusual place. It opens with a health scare, keeps piling on farm problems, and ends with a renewal question that Amazon has not answered publicly. For now, the next thing viewers know is simple: the season begins on June 3, and Clarkson is already talking as if the farm, the cameras and the ideas are not done yet.
