Why Are Clarkson’s Farm Fans So Frustrated With Season 4?

Isn’t it weirdly comforting how binge-watching has crept quietly from guilty pleasure to an outright human right? Well, if you’re one of the millions who’s been champing at the bit for season four of Clarkson’s Farm—good news: the wait has been tilled, planted, and harvested. Jeremy Clarkson is back on our screens, this time with Harriet Cowan filling in as Kaleb Cooper tours the UK (because apparently, even the world’s most reluctant young farmer can’t resist a little stardom). There are sheep shenanigans, TikTok popularity contests, and the kind of pub renovation that would make even Gordon Ramsay weep quietly into his pint.

But—oh, plot twist!—Amazon Prime Video has only released half the crop. Four episodes dropped like cowpats yesterday, but if you thought you’d be devouring all eight on your next Friday-night couch potato marathon, think again. Turns out, in this era of instant gratification, waiting is somehow back in style… or at least forced upon us by streaming services. Fans are already bitterly mourning their vanished “full season” binge, and even Clarkson himself is joining the communal groan . Are staggered releases the new crop rotation? Or just evidence that streaming platforms love a bit of mischief?

If you want the full low-down (and, trust me, some of those fan reactions are chef's kiss), don’t miss the rest—episodes five and six land next Friday, then the grand finale arrives the week after. For all the drama and a peek at Clarkson’s own reaction to the streaming shenanigans, LEARN MORE.

The wait is finally over Clarkson’s Farm fans, as the fourth season of the massively popular series is finally here.

Landing on Amazon Prime Video yesterday (23 May), the new episodes have seen Jeremy Clarkson joined by temporary replacement Harriet Cowan while regular farmhand Kaleb Cooper was touring up and down the UK – with the young farmer and TikTok influencer proving to be hugely popular with viewers.

We’re also treated the behind-the-scenes journey of Clarkson’s ambitious venture into opening his own pub, The Farmer’s Dog.

Which we know turned out to be a huge success, despite the nightmarish renovation process shown in the series

There’s plenty for fans to enjoy, but be careful how quickly you binge the new episodes.

Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed that while we were promised eight new episodes of Clarkson’s Farm, only four are currently available to stream.

The rest will drop over the coming weeks.

Given TV‘s not-too-distant past of releasing episodes on a once-a-week schedule over a number of months, you’d think this would be manageable for viewers.

Apparently not, as the ease of being able to stream an entire season in one day left Clarkson’s Farm fans bemoaning the fact that they can’t watch all eight instalments in one go.

Sharing their misery on social media, one fan wrote: “Hoping for a full season to binge, not bits and pieces!!”

“I didn’t learn my lesson – I binged the first 4 episode of Clarkson’s Farm Season 4 today. I now have to wait a week for the next episodes,” a second viewer added, while a third penned: “@JeremyClarkson I f**king love Clarkson’s Farm, just can’t get enough. All 4 episodes done. Now have to wait for more.”

Fortunately for the disgruntled fans they had Clarkson on their side, with the 65-year-old agreeing with ‘p****d off’ fan that staggered releases were indeed irritating.

“I also find it annoying when they do that,” he replied to the user.

“I feel your pain… I tried. I really tried,” he responded to another fan telling him to ‘kick Amazon in the plums for releasing the episodes like old-school TV in a weekly-manner’.

When do the next Clarkson’s Farm episodes come out?

The first four episodes were dropped yesterday, with the second half to land on Prime Video in the next couple of weeks.

You can expect episodes five and six to become available next Friday (May 30) before the final two drop the following week (June 6).
