Following Jeremy Clarkson’s recent scandal as a result of his controversial remarks towards Meghan Markle, Amazon has decided to terminate the cherished figure’s “Clarkson’s Farm” series alongside “The Grand Tour”.
Jeremy Clarkson is a man that needs no introduction, not even to those who are not adept at the world of motoring. The British icon gained worldwide fame with his undoubtedly influential legacy on Top Gear, as well as a variety of other television programs, including Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Following controversies, the 62-year-old was sacked from BBC and Top Gear in 2015 and it seems recent remarks made by the personality are ensuring history repeats itself.
According to sources cited by Variety reports, Jeremy Clarkson’s partnership with Amazon Prime and the shows that spawned from that partnership may be coming to an end. Clarkson began receiving a torrent of backlash following a column posted in The Sun on the 16th of December 2022 in which he had this to say about the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle. “At night, I’m unable to sleep as I lie there, grinding my teeth and dreaming of the day when she is made to parade naked through the streets of every town in Britain while the crowds chant, ‘Shame!’ and throw lumps of excrement at her.”

Sources claim that Clarkson’s heavy hitters “The Grand Tour” and “Clarkson’s Farm” will come to an end after their already commissioned seasons are completed. What this means is this will be the Gran Tours’ fifth and final season while “Clarkson’s farm” will end in its third and final season.
“Usually, I read what I’ve written to someone else before filing, but I was home alone on that fateful day, and in a hurry. So when I’d finished, I just pressed send. And then, when the column appeared the next day, the land mine exploded.”
Following the outrage at the motoring star’s abrasive column, the 19th of December saw a public apology released by Clarkson addressing not only the comments directed to Markle but to her spouse, Harry, as well.
“It was a slow rumble to start with and I ignored it. But then the rumble got louder. So I picked up a copy of The Sun to see what all the fuss was about. We’ve all been there, I guess. In that precise moment when we suddenly realise we’ve completely messed up.”
