Jeremy Clarkson, the beloved 66-year-old TV star, has been seen back at work filming the much-anticipated sixth series of his popular farming show. Cameras rolled at the Cereals 2026 farming event at Clarkson’s own Diddly Squat Farm, marking his return to the spotlight after revealing a challenging cancer diagnosis.
Earlier, Jeremy disclosed to fans on the latest season of his Prime Video series that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. The documentary segments, featured in the final two episodes of season five, candidly chronicled his diagnosis and subsequent treatment journey. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his health, Clarkson had promised fans a sixth season—though he admitted he wasn’t sure he would be around to film it.
The Cereals 2026 event, which showcased innovations from 500 exhibitors in the agricultural sector, provided a vibrant backdrop for Clarkson’s return. According to eyewitnesses, Clarkson appeared in high spirits, sharing jokes and engaging warmly with fellow farmers and attendees alike.

On the show, Jeremy opened up about his condition during farm discussions, telling farm manager Charlie Ireland and assistant Kaleb Cooper that he’d received his diagnosis in May, following a biopsy. He explained that while the cancer was aggressive, it was detected early enough for treatment to be effective.
In the emotional season finale, filmed from a hospital bed, Clarkson recounted complications during his treatment, stating, “We started season five with me in a hospital bed and here we are at the end of season five and I’m back in a hospital bed.” He ended the heartfelt message with a hopeful note: “If this is all successful, I’ll see you for season six, and if it isn’t, I won’t. Take care, everyone.”
Jeremy also shared details about the surgery, revealing that approximately 10 percent of his prostate was removed via ultrasound, precisely the portion affected by cancer. Battling cancer on top of coronary heart disease, Clarkson reflected on the year’s challenges with resilience, saying, “We can dwell as much as we like on all the bad things, but I think it is better now at the end of the year to focus on things that have happened that are good.”
He warned fans that the last two episodes of season five presented a stark departure from the usual light and cheerful tone of the program, describing them as “a difficult watch” due to their emotional weight.
The new sixth series of Clarkson’s Farm is expected to premiere in the summer of 2027, marking a hopeful new chapter for the resilient TV personality.
