As Clarkson’s Farm debuts its eagerly awaited fourth season on Amazon Prime Video, fans continue to wonder about the authenticity of Jeremy Clarkson’s hit series. The show, which chronicles Clarkson’s foray into farming life at Diddly Squat Farm, has captivated viewers with its mix of humor, reality, and relatable struggles. Returning cast members like farm manager Kaleb Cooper, Lisa Hogan, and Charlie Ireland join newcomer Harriet Cowan, who steps in as a farmhand during Kaleb’s nationwide tour.
This season brings fresh challenges as Jeremy Clarkson tackles managing his new pub, The Farmer’s Dog, adding a new dimension to the farm’s story. But amid the drama and entertainment, questions have arisen: Is Clarkson’s Farm real or scripted?
Both Jeremy Clarkson and Kaleb Cooper have emphatically dismissed claims that the show is scripted. Kaleb recently told ABC Australia’s The Country Hour, “They normally say ‘Is it all real?’ and I go ‘100 percent.’ I don’t know how they think it’s not real, I’m not an actor, I don’t go up there and act, I am myself.”

Similarly, Jeremy Clarkson took to X (formerly Twitter) to thank fans and underscore the series’ authenticity. Responding to a fan praising the show, Clarkson said, “You’re dead right. It isn’t created or written or planned. The cameras just film us doing stuff.” This candid insight confirms the series’ commitment to portraying the real-life ups and downs of farming and rural business.
Clarkson’s Farm season 4 picks up just months after the previous season’s finale. While Kaleb is on his nationwide tour, Harriet helps keep the farm running smoothly. Lisa Hogan explores new product development, and Jeremy dives into the challenges of turning a derelict pub into a thriving community hub. Amazon Prime Video summarizes, “The road to becoming a pub landlord isn’t straightforward, and Jeremy faces obstacles including derelict buildings, red tape, and a picnic site with a colourful past. Mother nature also conspires to make this one of the toughest years ever for British farmers, but when the whole gang pulls together, anything is possible.”
Following the overwhelming popularity of the show, production for the fifth season is already underway. Clarkson’s Farm season 4 is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video, delivering fresh, unscripted insights into the trials and triumphs of farm life.
