Amanda Owen's popular Yorkshire Dales television programme Our Farm Next Door has been renewed for two more series following its success on More4.
Channel 4 has commissioned Leeds-based Wise Owl Films to produce a further ten episodes of Our Farm Next Door: Amanda, Clive and Kids, which will be broadcast across series five and six.
The announcement comes as the fourth series reaches its conclusion on Monday, November 2, with the Yorkshire Shepherdess and her family celebrating a major milestone in their restoration of Anty John's farmhouse in Swaledale.
The programme, which follows Amanda, former husband Clive Owen and their nine children, has been More4's highest-rated show for three years, according to the broadcaster.
The two new series will continue documenting the family's efforts to transform the derelict farmhouse into a home, alongside their daily farming lives at Ravenseat.
Series five will pick up immediately after Amanda and her daughters spend their first night at Anty John's, the first time anyone has slept at the property in decades.
The new episodes will follow the family from early summer 2026 through to spring 2027 as their renovation plans continue.
All 11 members of the Owen family will feature, with Edith, Violet and their sisters reopening the family's cream tea van at Ravenseat, while Sidney and Miles take on increasing farming responsibilities.
Amanda will also delve further into the history of Anty John's, particularly the life of former owner Anthony Clarkson, a 19th-century Swaledale mapmaker.
Revelations from Clarkson's diaries are expected to reveal further parallels between his life and the experiences of the Owen family almost 200 years later.
Jayne Stanger, commissioning editor for Channel 4, said: "Our Farm Next Door is a joy of a series that holds a special place in the hearts of our More4 viewers.
"I am thrilled we're continuing to work with the team at Wise Owl to follow Amanda, Clive and the whole family on their renovation journey and I can't wait to see whether Anty John's might ever be finished."
James Knight, creative director at Wise Owl Films, said Amanda's approach to the renovation was one of the reasons the programme stood out.
He said: "Amanda admits she has never seen a renovation show on TV, which might help explain why we think Our Farm Next Door is unlike any other series on television.
"The combination of family life, the farming calendar and the subject of succession on the farm, the ever-revealing history of Anty John's and of course the appropriately slow (reflecting Swaledale life) renovation of the building means there is always something fascinating going on for us filming with the Owens.
"It might seem like chaos at times, but we are so pleased that those who watch the series are finding comfort and pleasure in the chaos."
The renewal follows another successful run for the programme, which has documented the Owen family's progress as they restore the historic property.
The fourth-series finale, scheduled for November 2, features Amanda and her daughters preparing for their first sleepover at Anty John's, while the family moves furniture collected over the years into the building.
Away from the renovation, the episode also sees Nancy and Clemmie riding across the moors for the first time since winter, while Clive works with sheepdog Nellie to move sheep ahead of mowing.
The programme continues the Owen family's television story following the success of Channel 5's Our Yorkshire Farm, which introduced viewers to their remote life at Ravenseat.
Amanda and Clive announced their separation in 2022 but have continued working together on the restoration project and raising their nine children.
The latest commission consists of ten hour-long episodes, divided into two five-part series.
Wise Owl Films, the Leeds-based production company behind the programme, is a non-scripted label of Lime Pictures, part of Banijay UK.
The new series will be produced by Clare Smithies, with Mark Robinson as executive producer and James Knight as creative director.
Broadcast dates for series five and six have not yet been announced.
