Jeremy Clarkson has returned to filming the sixth season of his hit Prime Video show Clarkson's Farm, following his recent revelation that he has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. The 66-year-old television personality was seen at the Cereals 2026 farming event, held at his own Diddly Squat Farm, where cameras captured footage for the upcoming series.
Cancer Diagnosis Revealed
In the final two episodes of the fifth series, Clarkson disclosed his diagnosis, describing the cancer as aggressive but caught early. He told farm manager Charlie Ireland and hand Kaleb Cooper: "I've got cancer. I've known since May. I had a medical, you remember back in May. I disappeared off the other week and I had a biopsy and it is cancer and it's aggressive, but it's really early so the treatment will be, you know."
Treatment and Recovery
The star underwent treatment, which included having 10 per cent of his prostate removed via ultrasound. Speaking from a hospital bed at the end of season five, he noted complications and said: "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 added: "What I wanted to say was if this is all successful, I'll see you for season six, and if it isn't, I won't. Take care, everyone."
Despite the health scare, Clarkson was in high spirits at the Cereals event, laughing and joking with other farmers and chatting with the crowd. A source told The Sun that he seemed "in great spirits."
Filming Continues
The sixth series is now in production, with Clarkson confirming it was in the works despite his earlier fears he might not be around for it. The event featured 500 exhibitors showcasing the latest in agriculture. The new series is expected to drop in summer 2027.
Clarkson also faced coronary heart disease earlier in the year, making it a tough period. He reflected: "We can dwell as much as we like on all the bad things that have happened on the farm 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 final two episodes of season five were a difficult watch, saying: "Ordinarily we try to keep the show bucolic and charming and cheerful. But the final two episodes... are none of those things really. They're a difficult watch. They're really, really, difficult."
