The agricultural programme on the streaming service has recruited participants who previously appeared on the popular talent show.
The former Top Gear presenter, who also hosted The Grand Tour alongside James May and Richard Hammond, has shifted his attention toward agricultural pursuits in recent years.
The reality documentary series launched in 2021 to favourable reviews and is filmed at his Oxfordshire-based farm operation, where it has garnered a substantial international audience.
Following the completion of four series and the wrapping of production for the upcoming fifth run in autumn 2025, excitement is mounting for its arrival the following month.
Reports indicate that the Hawkstone Farmers Choir have been added to the lineup for the new episodes, having recently appeared on the national talent competition.
The group was originally founded by the presenter in the Cotswolds region to support his alcoholic beverage range, featuring working farmers from throughout the United Kingdom.
The collective appeared on the television talent show in March and earned an automatic advancement to the live semi-final stage following Amanda Holden’s golden buzzer decision.
The 32-strong outfit achieved this notable distinction after performing the Elbow composition at the Birmingham venue.
The former automotive broadcaster was visibly touched by their appearance, sharing an unedited recording of his reaction on social media.
He commented that he had switched on the talent programme specifically to watch the agricultural choir and found them absolutely brilliant. He noted that these people work extraordinarily demanding jobs for little financial reward, and seeing them receive such widespread appreciation on television genuinely delighted him. He admitted to becoming quite emotional and expressed that the performance showed the public truly values those who farm the land. He concluded that they did wonderfully and he felt extremely happy that evening.
An industry insider told the publication that work on the fifth series is proceeding without issues, with the finished product expected to air the following year. Nevertheless, audiences will soon have access to the fourth series, though the presenter has suggested it carries a grimmer tone than earlier iterations. The addition of the rural choir to the subsequent series will introduce considerably more brightness. They will need to acclimatise to their elevated public profile.
The upcoming fifth run of the farming programme arrives on the streaming platform in May, featuring eight fresh episodes available through Amazon’s service.
