Key takeaways
  • 🔑 Jeremy Clarkson did not announce a new show. Speaking at the Royal Television Society London Convention on Tuesday 29 September 2026, he said he and his team are “currently thinking” about what follows Clarkson’s Farm. As of 3 October 2026, no title, format, broadcaster, streamer or commission has been announced.
  • Series six of Clarkson’s Farm finished filming on Monday 28 September 2026, according to Clarkson, and is expected on Amazon Prime Video in summer 2027. We have not seen Amazon confirm a release date, so treat that timing as expected rather than scheduled.
  • Series seven is undecided. Clarkson framed it as an open question about what to do next and, according to one account, did not rule out a renewal. No renewal or cancellation has been reported as of 3 October 2026, so headlines about the show ending go further than his remarks.
  • He argued that television must get bigger, lose scheduling and get better to stand out against social media and online creators, and he called The Celebrity Traitors “a very good example” of an ambitious show. It was an example of the standard he means, not a programme he says he is making.
  • He also floated merging the BBC, ITV, Sky, Channel 4 and Channel 5 into one platform he jokingly called Britflix, making fewer and better programmes. That was an opinion offered from a conference stage, not a proposal from any broadcaster, and written accounts of the exact wording differ slightly.

Jeremy Clarkson has not announced a new TV show. At the Royal Television Society London Convention on Tuesday 29 September 2026, he said he and his team are “currently thinking” about what follows Clarkson’s Farm, that series six has finished filming and that series seven is undecided.

As of Saturday 3 October 2026, no title, format, broadcaster, streamer or commission has been announced for anything new. Below is what he actually said, what is confirmed about the farm show, and where some headlines went further than his remarks.

Did Jeremy Clarkson announce a new show?

No: Clarkson named no title, no format and no broadcaster or streamer, and no commission has been reported. None of the reports we read gives any specifics about what the next project would be.

Some headlines said he had announced a new show, and others billed it as a rival to The Traitors. The speech as reported does not support either claim. He described an intention to make something more ambitious, and he cited The Celebrity Traitors as an example of the standard he means, not as a programme he is working on.

What did Clarkson say about life after Clarkson’s Farm?

He said the follow-up has to be “something bigger” and “unbelievably ambitious” so that it can stand out against the “onslaught from underneath” of social media and online creators. He was speaking alongside his daughter Emily (Em) Clarkson and Loose Women’s Jane Moore on Tuesday 29 September 2026.

Written accounts transcribe some phrases slightly differently, so we quote only wording that appears consistently and paraphrase the rest. Three themes run through the reports:

  • Scale. Television, he argued, has to get bigger, lose scheduling and get better. He said it is hard to make a show work unless you are “cooking on the moon” or doing something equally incredible, which reads as a figure of speech rather than a plan.
  • Competition. With social media and creators competing for attention, he said, an ordinary show no longer stands out.
  • The benchmark. He called The Celebrity Traitors “a very good example” of an ambitious show, partly because it attracts big-name celebrities.

Is Clarkson’s Farm coming back for series seven?

It is undecided: Clarkson described series seven as an open question, and no renewal or cancellation has been reported as of 3 October 2026. He said series six wrapped the day before the event, which puts the end of filming on Monday 28 September, and that for series seven the team is asking what to do next.

One account notes that he did not rule out a renewal. Another headline asked whether he had hinted the show was ending, but the remarks as reported do not say that. We have not seen a statement from Prime Video on series seven.

When will Clarkson’s Farm series six be released?

Series six is expected on Amazon Prime Video in summer 2027, but we have not seen Amazon confirm a date. Reports written in late September 2026 describe it as arriving “next summer”, so treat the timing as expected rather than scheduled.

The programme has won two National Television Awards, one of them at the 2026 ceremony, and series five streamed earlier in 2026.

What did Clarkson say about merging British broadcasters?

He floated merging the BBC, ITV, Sky, Channel 4 and Channel 5 into a single platform, which he jokingly called Britflix. His reasoning, as reported, was that talent is draining out of the industry and that one combined platform could club together to make bigger, better and fewer programmes.

It was a suggestion from a conference stage, not a proposal from any broadcaster, and it is separate from any decision about Clarkson’s own next project. A national newspaper also ran the merger comments as a separate story on the evening of the event.

What did he say about jobs in television?

He said the 35 to 40 people on the farm crew are now at home wondering how they will pay their mortgages, and that he knows many experienced producers who cannot find work. He made the comments after confirming that filming on series six had wrapped. As reported, he gave no figures beyond the crew number and named no one.

What is confirmed and what is not as of 3 October 2026?

Clarkson has confirmed the end of series six filming and that series seven is undecided; everything about a new project is still open. The table sets out where each question stands.

Where does this leave things?

Clarkson has described a direction, not a project. Anything that changes the table above will come from Prime Video or from Clarkson himself, so this page is pinned as of Saturday 3 October 2026.

The programme he held up as the benchmark, The Celebrity Traitors, began its second series on BBC One on 1 October 2026, and our guide to where to watch Celebrity Traitors series 2 covers how to find it.
