Amazon says the next season of Clarkson’s Farm is still in production, despite the broadcaster’s comments about the Duchess of Sussex that were deemed misogynistic by critics.

While Amazon has been reportedly looking to part company with Jeremy Clarkson following his comments regarding the Duchess of Sussex in The Sun in December, a spokesperson has confirmed to the PA news agency that the third series of Clarkson’s Farm is “currently in production to launch at a later date”.

The spokesperson wouldn’t comment or add anything more to reports of ties between Amazon and Clarkson being cut, but the second series of Clarkson’s Farm will still be released on Amazon Prime Video on February 10.

Amazon’s statement followed a lengthy apology by Clarkson, published on Instagram yesterday, where he said: “I really am sorry. All the way from the balls of my feet to the follicles in my head. This is me putting my hands up.”
