Jeremy Clarkson has confirmed Clarkson's Farm will not be ending just yet after letting social media know series four is imminent.
Series three is yet to be released, but this did not stop Mr Clarkson or streaming giant Amazon Prime from confirming the news.
Posting on its X account, formerly known as Twitter, Amazon Prime said: "It’s been three series and we still cannot make the sheep collaborate four a simple announcement."
The renewal comes after Mr Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May reportedly opted to leave The Grand Tour, another Amazon series.

Some confused fans sought clarification: "So is this an announcement that series four has been commissioned or have we all missed series three?", one user asked.
"The first one," Amazon replied.
Fozia Khan, Amazon Studios’ head of unscripted in the UK, said producer Expectation was about to begin shooting season four “very soon.” Season three has wrapped and will stream next year.
Mr Clarkson posted a video on Instagram echoing Khan’s comments. “The fourth series of Clarkson’s Farm is coming,” he said.
‘The Grand Tour’ Future
Clarkson’s Farm renewal came as Khan confirmed that Mr Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May have filmed their final instalments of The Grand Tour.
“It’s come to its natural end,” she said but admitted that the format may continue with new presenters. Ms Khan said her team was “thinking about” how the show can live on.
The Grand Tour was emblematic of the streaming revolution when it was first greenlit by Amazon in 2015. The tech giant signed Mr Clarkson, Hammond, and May after they left BBC Top Gear.
BBC's current Top Gear format is also in doubt after presenter Freddie Flintoff had an accident that put the show on hiatus.
