Clarkson Wraps Farm Season Six, Future Remains Uncertain

Jeremy Clarkson has finished filming the sixth season of Clarkson’s Farm and says the series’ future beyond that remains undecided, as he considers a new television project he believes would need to be unusually ambitious to attract viewers. Speaking at the Royal Television Society London Convention, Clarkson said he and the programme’s team were weighing what to do after the farm series. He did not confirm a seventh season or disclose the format, status or other details of a prospective project. The sixth season has completed filming, but the reports do not establish when it will be released. Clarkson said a new show would have to stand out amid competition from social-media content. He argued that television needs to offer larger-scale programming and cited The Traitors as an example of an attention-grabbing programme. He did not say that his own project would follow that format or confirm that a specific show is in production. He also described employment difficulties in television, saying that 35 to 40 members of the Clarkson’s Farm crew were at home worrying about mortgage payments after filming wrapped.
