Channel 4 commission two further series of Our Farm Next Door
Following the huge success of series 1 and 2, we're delighted to report that Wise Owl Films have been commissioned to make two further series of Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids, following ‘Yorkshire Shepherdess’ Amanda Owen and her family as they continue to renovate a centuries-old derelict farmhouse into a modern home. In a talent deal secured by Wolfsong Media, this third and fourth series will follow Amanda and her family as they set to work on their huge interiors project, planning what will go where and how things might look, not to mention installing plumbing and running water. They also follow the day-to-day farming lives of Amanda, Clive and their nine rapidly-growing children in the remote Yorkshire Dales, as well as delving into the fascinating history of the house and its most famous resident, Swaledale map maker, Anthony Clarkson. TX dates have yet to be announced, but we look forward to sharing those with you in the coming months.
