Jeremy Clarkson replaces co-star Kaleb Cooper in new series of Clarkson's Farm

can be seen hiring a new farmhand while embarks on a tour in the trailer for Clarkson’s Farm season four. The hit Prime Video series, launched in 2021, follows former Top Gear presenter Clarkson, 65, as he gets to grips with growing his own crops and looking after livestock on a large plot of land he owns in the Cotswolds.

In the teaser for series four, Clarkson sets out to buy a pub that will reignite his farm-to-fork restaurant vision. It comes after the council shut down his Oxfordshire restaurant after it was allegedly opened without planning permission.

The series also follows Cooper, 26, as he embarks on his nationwide tour before returning to his role as farm manager.

The farmer highlighted some of the many challenges that British farmers face today and shared thoughts on how to make a difference and support them when he toured The World According To Kaleb last year.

Clarkson says in the trailer: “I want to make it plain that I am absolutely thrilled to bits for Kaleb, but he has left me just a little bit in the lurch.” After explaining that he needs a farmhand, Clarkson is seen questioning a new member of staff who admits she has never seen the programme.

The new series will also see Clarkson dealing with a range of livestock to manage – from a big new bull and a very little pig, to high-tech goats. The TV presenter has become a vocal supporter for farmers, attending a protest in London against the Government’s announcement to introduce an inheritance tax on farmers.

The fourth instalment of the series will launch globally on Prime Video May 23. Episodes one to four will be available from May 23, episode five to six from May 30, and episode seven to eight from June 6.

It comes after a development that has surprised fans of motoring television. , Richard Hammond, and James May are making an unexpected reappearance on the - just as their most recent venture, The Grand Tour, comes to an end.

Having left Top Gear nearly a decade ago following a well-publicised fallout, the trio went on to create The Grand Tour with Amazon Prime in 2016. The show carried forward their chemistry and adventures to a devoted audience. But in 2024, Clarkson confirmed he was leaving for good.

That announcement left fans mourning the end of a TV era. Yet this weekend, a nostalgic flashback is on it's way: BBC Two is airing the iconic Top Gear Botswana special, originally broadcast during the height of the show's popularity.

It features the three hosts navigating South Africa in cheap cars they each bought locally for under £1,500. While the Botswana episode is a rerun, the timing couldn't be more perfect.

Clarkson has recently reflected on the decision to retire from the escapades that defined their careers. In an interview with The Times, he admitted the creative engine had run low: “I’ve driven cars higher than anyone else and further north than anyone else.

"We’ve done everything you can do with a car. When we had meetings about what to do next, people just threw their arms in the air.”
