Jeremy Clarkson - who will be joined by girlfriend Lisa, friends Kaleb, Gerald and Charlie, and 'a few new characters' - said in a statement: "I'm genuinely thrilled that we are doing a third season of Clarkson's Farm. I've had some great new ideas, all of which have made Charlie, Lisa and Kaleb deeply unhappy."
Kaleb Cooper also said he was 'over the moon to be taking part again', adding: "Well, they do say third time's a charm!
"Maybe this will be the season that Jeremy finally starts taking advice from a real farmer!"
It should come as no surprise that the show has been renewed, given the popularity of its debut season.
What's more, while Clarkson may be a 'fish out of water' on the farm, it is clear he has fallen in love with it, and he recently said he would carry on farming with or without the show.
"If people don't want to watch anymore, we wouldn't make anymore and, if people do want to watch, then we will," he told The Sun.
"I'm going to carry on farming whether you're watching or not, I don't care.
"I'm going to carry on farming and fighting the good fight, on behalf of farming, against stupidity."
The show sees the divisive broadcaster trade in expensive cars for costly sheep as he attempts to farm 1,000 acres of land in the Cotswolds.
Now on paper, you might think that premise sounds like a recipe for TV gold, or utter tripe; but the fact is, both Clarkson lovers and loathers have given the show glowing reviews.
Speaking to LADbible last year, the 62-year-old said he was up for making more of the show, but ultimately it would boil down to figures - and thankfully, the figures have been great.
"I'd do it in a heartbeat, because I'm carrying on farming, and I've got some really good ideas that I think would make another series - but that's up to Amazon," he said.
"If people enjoy the first one they'll commission a second.
"They tend not to be emotional about this, Amazon, they just look at the figures, and then if they're good enough you get a second series, and if they're not you don't."
