Clarkson's Farm Season 5 tackles health scares and bovine tuberculosis crisis
Season 5 of Clarkson’s Farm returns to Prime Video on 3 June, with a dramatic start. The trailer shows Jeremy Clarkson, 65, facing a serious health scare—rushed to hospital after a heart problem. Meanwhile, the farm deals with new challenges, including a cow infected with bovine tuberculosis.
The series also captures Clarkson’s emotional struggles, coming just two years after his mother’s death from a heart attack at 67.
The trailer opens with Clarkson in a hospital bed, as nurses attach probes to his chest. An ambulance is later seen speeding away from Diddly Squat Farm, hinting at the urgency of his condition. Doctors discovered he has three arteries feeding his heart, but one was completely blocked, cutting off blood flow.
Beyond his health, the farm faces its own crisis. One of Clarkson’s cows tested positive for bovine tuberculosis, forcing strict movement restrictions on the livestock. The setback adds pressure as he balances recovery with running the business. Amid the turmoil, Clarkson still finds moments of normal farm life. Footage shows him assisting with the birth of a calf, a rare bright spot in a difficult season. The trailer also features him speaking at a farmers’ protest in London, highlighting the wider struggles of rural workers. His mother’s death in 2022 looms over the series. The loss, combined with his own health scare, adds a personal weight to this season’s story.
The new season arrives on 3 June, documenting Clarkson’s recovery and the farm’s fight against disease. Viewers will see how he manages both his health and the business after a year of setbacks. The show continues to mix farming realities with the presenter’s candid, often emotional, journey.
