Kelvin Fletcher and His Family Return to ITV with “Fletcher’s Family Farm”

Former “Emmerdale” actor and “”Strictly Come Dancing” winner Kelvin Fletcher is returning to ITV with a second series of his show “Fletcher’s Family Farm“. The show offers an intimate insight into the lives of Fletcher and his family as they navigate their journey as first-generation farmers.

ITV’s Commissioner, Leanne Clarke, is enthusiastic about the show’s return: “We are thrilled to have Kelvin, Liz, and the whole family showing us the ropes of what it takes to run a working farm. I’m sure it will prove to be a thoroughly entertaining adventure for them and our audience.”

Series Editor Ben Harris, from Daisybeck Studios, shares his thoughts: “As first-generation farmers, Kelvin and Liz have their work cut out, sharing their journey as they strive to make their farm a success while balancing the complexities of family life with the lows and highs of farming… It will be a revealing and heart-warming insight into farming today. One of the things that strikes me the most is just the joyful nature of this family and how they are embracing this new life. This is going to be a real treat for the audience.”

The show is set on the Fletcher family’s 120-acre farm in the Peak District, where they keep a variety of animals, including sheep, pigs, goats, alpacas, and horses. The first series debuted in 2023, and the second series will continue to follow the family’s farming adventures.

In the new series, viewers can expect to see the Fletchers navigate a busy lambing season once again and venture further into pig breeding, exploring the intricacies of artificial insemination. Kelvin will also acquire new livestock as they prepare to open their farm to the public for the first time.

Kelvin and his wife, Liz, have expressed their excitement about sharing their unique journey: “When we embarked on this new chapter of our lives, we couldn’t have imagined what an extraordinary journey it would be. Since the arrival of our two newborn twins last year, it has been even more of a rollercoaster ride… Navigating farming life with four small kids is certainly a challenge but one full of laughter and unforgettable memories. We are so excited to invite viewers into our lives like never before – we hope to share the beauty and unpredictable joy of life on our farm.”

Kelvin has also shared his thoughts on returning to ITV and working with the team again: “It has been absolutely great to work with the ITV family again, with whom I worked with for so many happy years.”

The second series of “Fletcher’s Family Farm” will air on ITV1 and ITVBe, with filming currently underway. The show promises to offer a heart-warming and authentic glimpse into modern farming and the joys and challenges of rural life.
