Amazon bosses addressed the future of Clarkson's Farm on Thursday

With two critically acclaimed seasons under his belt and another in the pipeline for Jeremy Clarkson, Clarkson's Farm fans are going to be treated to new episodes soon.

However, following Clarkson's scandalous The Sun column about Meghan Markle - for which he issued an apology to the royals - speculation that Amazon was going to cut ties with the former Top Gear star beyond season three has been rife.


Clarkson hasn't publicly addressed whether or not fans will be able to see more from Diddly Squat beyond the upcoming third season.

However, taking to Twitter on Thursday, he did spark meltdown among his followers as he teased a new update about the show.

"Stand by for some fantastic news from Clarkson’s Farm," Clarkson wrote to his eight million followers.

In just over 12 hours, the post received over 1,200 replies, 30k likes and 600 reposts.

However, Clarkson is yet to follow this up with exactly what the "fantastic news" is.

His social media post did come just hours after Amazon bosses publicly addressed Clarkson's Farm's future for the first time since the Markle column.

Prime Video UK Head of Originals Dan Grabiner and Head of UK Unscripted Fozia Khan both stepped out to face questions at the Edinburgh TV Festival.

Of course, Clarkson's Farm was top of the agenda and while Grabiner confirmed production on season three was ongoing, he appeared to contradict Clarkson's tweet.

"No decisions have been made," Grabiner told the crowd. "It’s a very complex topic but we are not interrupting production of the current season.”

He did go on to emphasise the success the series has garnered, however, as he said: "I can’t tell you what a phenomenon this show is and the impact it’s had on the agricultural community.

"We get messages from farmers around the world who just love the show, saying they’ve never really seen their world reflected properly on screen before.

"It’s a hell of a lot bigger than Jeremy Clarkson," he added while colleague Khan also had a lot to say about the show and Clarkson's antics.

Khan admitted Prime Video were "shocked and disappointed" to see what Clarkson had said about Markle in the press - which included claims he "hated" her and "dreamt" of the day "she was made to parade through streets" with people "throwing excrement" at her.

But he reiterated: "There are lots of discussions going on but the thing that’s important to say is there is so much more going on to the show than Clarkson."

It's safe to say a vast number of people are hoping Amazon will look upon the series favourably when they do come to make a decision about its future.

After all, many of the hundreds of comments Clarkson prompted with his update were of excitement.

One fan replied to his tweet: "Sweet, I hope it's more seasons, as it's a very relaxing and satisfying show, as is t' grand tour."

While a second pleaded: "Announce another series!! Pleeeaaaasssseeeee! Cornish people like farming too, and could probably hold a decent conversation with Gerrald."

Meanwhile, a third put: "Thank you for such an amazing show. I can't stop watching."

And a fourth begged for answers: "When’s it’s out ? Come on lad, spill the beans!" (sic)
