Jeremy Clarkson is swapping the combine harvester for the car lift. Prime Video has confirmed a brand-new one-off special called Jeremy Grows a Car: A Clarkson’s Farm Special, in which the former Top Gear host will try to grow and build his own car using produce from Diddly Squat Farm.
It is, by Prime Video’s own admission, something nobody has attempted before. The streamer said Clarkson has “tried to grow it all: wheat and barley, potatoes and mushrooms, even wasabi”, but called this his most ambitious project yet, adding that “growing a car is not for the faint-hearted.”
What is the car special about?
According to Prime Video, Clarkson is fed up with modern motoring’s “nanny-state technology” and has decided the only solution is to build a car himself. He’ll use a Jaguar F-Type V6S as his starting point, a model he reportedly believes “represents the sweet spot between analogue driving thrill and modern practicality.”
The twist is where the materials come from. Clarkson will attempt to grow a crop of flax fibre on the farm and turn it into what Prime Video describes as “a revolutionary and sustainable alternative to carbon fibre”, alongside a Diddly Squat leather interior and wool carpets sourced from the farm.
He won’t be doing it alone. Veteran car designer Ian Callum CBE, who originally designed the F-Type, will help him bring the redesigned Jaguar to life. Prime Video says the finished car will aim to represent “everything he believes the iconic British brand should stand for: style, luxury and performance.” The special is set to land on Prime Video worldwide next year.
Why it matters
The announcement lands at a significant moment for the Clarkson’s Farm franchise, with Prime Video also confirming the main show will return for a sixth series in 2027. It follows an emotional fifth season in which Clarkson revealed he had been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer, telling viewers from a hospital bed: “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.”
Speaking to Radio Times after collecting a National Television Award for reality docuseries, Clarkson gave fans an update on his health, saying: “I’m mended, I’m made of rock and steel. Takes more than a little b—” before confirming filming on season six was nearly finished. He added: “We’ve nearly wrapped on six. A couple of weeks away from finishing that, and then it’ll be edited and translated and so on.”
Season five also documented a tough year on the farm, including a bovine TB outbreak first detected in July 2025 and clashes between Clarkson and farmhand Kaleb Cooper over a conservation project. Reports have also suggested the upcoming sixth series will be “darker” in tone, with the Hawkstone Farmers’ Choir — formed with Clarkson’s involvement and recently put through to the Britain’s Got Talent semi-finals by Amanda Holden — set to provide “lighter relief” in later episodes, according to a source quoted by The Sun.
What happens next
Clarkson has said he still has “a good idea” for season six and hinted the franchise could continue beyond that, though producer Andy Wilman has previously said the show won’t run forever. For now, fans have two releases to look forward to: the car-growing special and season six of Clarkson’s Farm, both expected on Prime Video in 2027.
