Amanda Owen Issues Exciting Update: Our Farm in the Dales Renewed for Two More Series

Fans of Amanda Owen — widely known as the Yorkshire Shepherdess — have been given a reason to celebrate after Channel 4 confirmed that Our Farm in the Dales has been commissioned for two further series. The announcement comes just days after Amanda revealed a personal setback, making the news all the more uplifting for her loyal supporters.

A New Chapter for the Owens

Amanda Owen, along with her estranged husband Clive and their children, first captured the nation’s heart in Our Yorkshire Farm, which ran from 2018 until 2022. The series showcased life at Ravenseat Farm, a remote working sheep farm in the Yorkshire Dales, while highlighting the challenges and joys of raising nine children in such a rugged environment.

When Amanda and Clive announced their separation in 2022, fans feared it would mean the end of the family’s television journey. The cancellation of Our Yorkshire Farm seemed to confirm those worries. Yet out of that difficult transition, a new series was born: Our Farm in the Dales.

The spin-off shifted focus slightly, following Amanda, Clive, and their children as they undertook the ambitious project of renovating a centuries-old derelict farmhouse while still managing the rhythms of farming life.

Fans Plead for More

The most recent series of Our Farm in the Dales aired earlier this year, drawing strong viewership and sparking a wave of online calls for more episodes. Social media posts from devoted fans highlighted how much audiences missed seeing the Owens on-screen, with one fan tweeting: “Amanda and Clive bring honesty and grit back to television. We need more of them!”

For months, Channel 4 remained quiet about the show’s future. Then, on Friday, August 15, viewers finally got the news they’d been hoping for: not one, but two new series have officially been commissioned.

Confirmation from Channel 4

In a statement, Channel 4 praised the show’s ability to combine agricultural life, family dynamics, and heritage preservation in a way that connects with modern audiences.

“Our Farm in the Dales has struck a unique chord with viewers. It’s not just about farming, it’s about resilience, family, and the timeless relationship between people and the land,” the network said. “We’re delighted to confirm that Amanda, Clive, and their children will return for two more series.”

Amanda’s Own Reflections

Amanda Owen herself shared the update with fans on social media, noting how grateful she was for the ongoing support.

“Life on the farm is never straightforward, but it’s always rewarding,” she wrote. “We’ve poured our hearts into restoring this old farmhouse, and we’re thrilled to share more of that journey with all of you.”

Her words resonated with fans, many of whom replied with messages of encouragement. One viewer commented: “Thank you for keeping us part of your family’s journey. Can’t wait for the new episodes!”

Clive’s Continued Role

Despite their split, Amanda and Clive have maintained a working partnership, something fans have admired. While their personal relationship changed, their professional and farming commitments remained intertwined.

“Clive and I may have taken different paths personally, but we still share the same love for the land and for our children,” Amanda recently explained in an interview. “That’s what viewers will continue to see on screen.”

Their ability to collaborate despite past difficulties has added an extra layer of authenticity to the series, demonstrating that family — in all its forms — can endure.

Why the Show Resonates

Part of the success of Our Farm in the Dales lies in its blend of reality television and cultural heritage. Unlike other glossy lifestyle programs, the show embraces the grit of rural living: long winters, the chaos of lambing season, and the challenges of restoring a fragile historic property.

At the same time, it celebrates small triumphs — a repaired roof beam, children learning traditional farming methods, and quiet moments of reflection against the Yorkshire landscape.

Cultural critic Sophie Bennett described the show’s appeal this way:

“Amanda Owen’s programs aren’t about escapism. They’re about endurance, resourcefulness, and community. In an era when many feel disconnected from tradition, she and her family reconnect us with it.”

Looking Ahead

With two new series now confirmed, viewers can expect to see even more of the Owens’ ongoing renovation project. Early hints suggest that the family will continue tackling difficult repairs, while also navigating the realities of running a working farm.

Whether it’s managing livestock, tending to the land, or balancing family life after a public split, the Owens’ story continues to evolve. And if ratings and fan enthusiasm are any indication, audiences will be watching every step of the way.

Final Thoughts

Amanda Owen’s journey has been one of resilience, both on-screen and off. From the end of Our Yorkshire Farm to the creation and success of Our Farm in the Dales, she has shown that endings can also be beginnings.

For fans who feared her story might fade from television, Channel 4’s decision ensures the Yorkshire Shepherdess remains firmly in the spotlight. As Amanda herself says, life on the farm is never simple — but it’s always worth telling.
