All the reviews for Clarkson’s Farm Series 5 as audience favourite returns

It seems people are divided

Season 5 of the documentary reality series begins after a health scare forces Jeremy to rethink how he manages the farm.

As he looks for ways to reduce the workload, he introduces new livestock, experiments with advanced farming technology, and explores innovative agricultural methods from abroad.

Meanwhile, issues at the pub, concerns across the British farming community, and a series of setbacks keep life at Diddly Squat as unpredictable as ever.

Clarkson’s Farm Season 5 premiered on June 3, 2026, exclusively on Prime Video.

While the first four episodes were released on launch day, the remaining episodes are rolling out weekly through June 17, 2026, and the season consists of eight episodes in total.

After its premiere, reviews have started to pour in.

What the reviews are saying

As The Guardian gave it three stars out of a possible five, it wrote that “you might as well call him Jeremy Kardashian”.

“From his multi-million pound beer brand to souvenir emporium flogging cufflinks, there’s such a cult of personality around the bumbling berk now that he’s basically morphing into Kim, Khloé et al. Stick to the farming, Jeremy!”, the review continues.

“If the point of Clarkson’s Farm is to show people how difficult it is to be a farmer, and yet Clarkson’s biggest gripe is the number of pint glasses tourists steal from his pub, that seems like a fairly difficult structural flaw to overcome.”

Meanwhile, RadioTimes gave a more favourable review (four stars out of five), writing that “Fans of Top Gear back in the day would not recognise the Jeremy Clarkson seen here fighting back tears when his favourite pigs are loaded on to the truck that only does one-way journeys – but Clarkson’s Farm is healthier than ever.”

“Clarkson, or at least the version of himself he presents in this series, has softened over time. Throw in a reminder of his mortality – a scene where he becomes breathless after rashly trying to saw down a Christmas tree unaided really does look like death is looming – and it’s time for a new Farmer Clarkson to emerge”.

Metro was far more scathing in its review, however, as it rated the new series a mere 2 out of 5 stars.

“Clarkson’s Farm’s new season proves why it needs to end“, Metro writes.

“Now we’re up to season five; however, the novelty has somewhat worn off. The wince-inducing antics of season one just feel rinse-and-repeat at this point.“

“Much like the animals on the farm that Jeremy grows oh so fond of, you have to know when to let go and accept that it’s time to put them down. In other words: Quit while you’re ahead.“

Harriet Cowan and her future on Clarkson's Farm

Fans of Clarkson's Farm will know who Harriet Cowan is, and she recently debuted a makeover ahead of the new series.

As she became a temporary stand-in while Kaleb Cooper was on tour, Harriet Cowan quickly turned into a fan favourite last year.

Viewers are now waiting in anticipation to see if she'll be lighting up our TV screens once more, and joining Jeremy Clarkson for yet another series.

She posted the major update on Instagram recently, when she said: "I’m so excited to finally share Life on the Farm - my new book.”

“This is such a personal project for me. Inside, I share what the farming way of life truly means, the values I live by, and of course what a typical day on the farm really looks like.”

“I also wanted to open up about the challenges and realities Britain’s farmers are facing today, and why buying local isn’t just a slogan - it’s a way of life. Farming has been passed down from my grandparents to my parents, and now to me.”

Nobody knows if Harriet is set to return for the new series as of yet, while she has previously stated people simply need to wait and see what happens.
