Amanda and Clive Owen reunite for new TV series Our Farm Next Door
Following the success of Our Yorkshire Farm
Last updated 5th Sep 2024
After five series of Our Yorkshire Farm, fans were left devastated back in June 2022 when Amanda and Clive Owen confirmed they'd split after 22 years and nine children together, with many wondering if the pair would ever work together again.
Well, two years on from their split and fans will be pleased to know that Amanda, Clive, and their nine children have teamed up with More4 for a brand new series called Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids.
What is the show about?
In a slightly different format to Our Yorkshire Farm, the new series will see Amanda, Clive and the children buy and renovate a run-down property nearby their farm in Swaledale, in the Yorkshire Dales.
Our Farm Next Door will see the former couple work together with the help of a local tradespeople, in an attempt to transform the property in Anty John's.
More4 said of the new series: 'Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids charts the Owens’ journey to breathe life back into a derelict neighbouring property they bought to plan for the family’s future. The series sees Amanda, Clive and their nine children work with a team of local tradespeople to slowly bring their ambitious vision for the farmhouse - known locally as Anty John’s - to life, tackling the changing seasons and challenging elements along the way, as well as getting to grips with the nature of restoring a listed property in a remote location'.
Cameras will also follow the Yorkshire Shepherdess as she looks into the farmhouse’s past and reveals the fascinating part its former owners played in local history.
Mark Robinson, Executive Producer for Wise Owl Films, said: “Filmed over two years, this is the incredible past and present tale of a house with an important and fascinating history brought lovingly back to life by a family who are Yorkshire Dales through and through. We have been privileged to watch the rebirth of ‘Anty John’s’ tile by tile, stone by stone, across all four seasons in a beautiful but unforgiving location where that painstaking work has often been at the mercy of the elements.”
What channel is it on?
Our Farm Next Door will air on More4 and Channel 4's streaming service.
Amanda Owen said: “It is fantastic More4 have given us the opportunity to showcase what we do best, working as a team and battling the elements whilst trying to reinstate the farm next door to its former glory. It is no exaggeration to say that filming outdoors on an exposed hill end in Swaledale was at times a huge challenge for the Wise Owl film crew, but their dedication and enthusiasm has never waned. This new project has been a huge undertaking for the whole family and one we are excited to be able to share with the viewers at home.”
When is it on TV?
There's no word yet on when Our Farm Next Door will hit our TV screens.
How many episodes?
The new series will be made up of 10 episodes in total.
Commissioning editor for Channel 4, Jayne Stanger, said: “We are thrilled to be welcoming Amanda back onto More4 and it’s an absolute joy to have been granted this incredible access to Amanda, Clive and their wonderful family as they embark on such a challenging renovation. I’ve no doubt our audience will enjoy sharing this fascinating journey with them as well as basking in the stunning Yorkshire scenery that has been so brilliantly captured by the talented team at Wise Owl.”

Are Amanda and Clive back together?
Following 22 years of marriage and nine children together, Amanda and Clive Owen released a statement in June 2022 to announce they'd split.
Amanda wrote on behalf of the pair at the time: 'Clive and I have are sad to confirm that we have made the difficult decision to separate. This hasn't been easy, but we both believe it's the right choice for the future of our family.
'Although we are no longer a couple, we continue to work on the farm and co-parent together with our number one priority the happiness and well-being of our children.
'We would like to thank everyone for their support and would ask that the media please respect our privacy as we work through this difficult time.
'Amanda & Clive Owen'. (sic)
Despite the pair still working together and being great friends, both Amanda and Clive are now in different relationships, with Amanda admitting it was actually Clive who suggested she would be a good match with new partner Rob.
Speaking to Mail Online, Amanda said: "I never set out looking for another relationship. Rob Davies was a friend that Clive and I had both known for a long time. He put together the farm website and managed the digital side of the business, things we couldn’t do ourselves.
"What he offered was conversation rather than confrontation, and Clive knew about it from the very beginning – he actually suggested Rob and I would be a good match.
"At that point, a few years ago now, Clive was also seeing someone else and was openly dating. It wasn’t a secret; everyone around us knew, even the children."
Clive also added: "Rob had always been a good friend to us, and we’d known him a long time. They got together at a point when we had already separated, so I wasn’t shocked or horrified, and it was never an affair in my mind because I knew about it from the beginning.
"I was seeing other people, too, and no one came after me with their cameras and their negative stories, calling me a home-wrecker."
