Owen, 50, shared, “I’m beyond delighted to continue this journey—our hearts are in the Dales,” thanking Channel 4 and Wise Owl Films for their support despite “unimaginable chaos” of filming with her nine children and ex-husband Clive, per web:3. The series, averaging 2.5 million viewers, follows the Owens restoring a derelict 1800s farmhouse, with Season 2 ending on a cliffhanger, per web:10. Fans on X, like @YorkshireFan22, tweeted, “Amanda’s words hit deep—so happy it’s back!”

Channel 4’s recommission for Seasons 3 and 4, set to air in 2026, will focus on the farmhouse’s interior renovations, including plumbing and design, while Amanda explores its history tied to Swaledale mapmaker Anthony Clarkson, per web:4. “We’re grateful for the crew braving our storms,” Owen said, per Express, referencing Yorkshire’s harsh weather. The announcement quells fears of cancellation after Amanda’s cryptic February 2025 posts about “tough times,” per web:2, following her 2022 split from Clive.

The decision has sparked joy, with X users posting, “Our Farm Next Door is our comfort watch!” under #OwenFamily. Some speculated about budget cuts, per web:14, but Channel 4’s Jayne Stanger praised the “incredible journey,” per web:12. Amanda’s resilience, amid personal and professional challenges, shines through, with @DalesLover tweeting, “She’s unstoppable!”
