ITV has commissioned two more seasons of Fletchers’ Family Farm following its impressive ratings success, which has seen 6.3 million streams on ITVX so far this year.
The series follows former Emmerdale star and first time farmer Kelvin Fletcher and his family in their 120-acre Peak District farm, and explores the family’s everyday life as they navigate the highs and lows as a family, going from complete novices to learning the hard graft, sacrifices and farming gambles they must take to provide the life they’ve always dreamed of.
Seasons 5 and 6 have been commissioned following a hit season 4, which was up 6 per cent in audience volume on the previous season, and the final episode averaging 1 million – making it the highest daytime episode to date.
The programme has also received 6.3 million streams on ITVX compared with 1.7 million for the same period in 2025.
Kelvin and Liz Fletcher said: “We’re delighted to be returning for series five and six, what started as a simple desire to share our family’s journey has grown into something far bigger than we ever imagined.
“We’d like to thank ITV for their continued support and belief in the series and Daisybeck Studios for creating such a true account of our lives. As we enter this next chapter we’re also proud that Fletcher Studios will be joining Daisybeck as a co-production partner on the series. It’s an exciting step for us creatively.”
Leanne Clarke, assistant commissioner, ITV entertainment & daytime commented: ”The response to this show has been incredible, so we’re thrilled to return to the farm for two more series. The show continues to capture family life in all its chaos and charm and there’s plenty more laughter, hard work and unforgettable moments still to come.”
While Kim Metcalfe, series producer from Daisybeck Studios, added: “We’re absolutely thrilled to be returning to the farm for two more series. The continued success of the series across both ITV and ITVX is a testament to the warmth, humour and authenticity at the heart of the Fletcher family. We’re incredibly proud of what the team has achieved and excited to continue telling this remarkable story as the next chapter unfolds.”
