The Owen clan are gearing up for a return to screens following the end of their hugely successful series Our Yorkshire Farm.
Amanda and Clive Owen, the parents to nine children, will soon be back on TV in a new More4 series titled Our Farm Next Door.
As Our Yorkshire Farm fans are familiar, the parents will be joined by their nine children as they get to work keeping things running at Ravenseat as well as renovate a derelict property near their home – known as Anty Johns.
There had been much speculation about the Owen family’s future on screens following Amanda and Clive’s divorce but the pair spoke out earlier this week to publicly reveal there is no bad blood and while both have dated other people since their split, they both are single.
Eldest son Reuben recently returned to social media following his parents’ relationship admissions and he too will join his mum and dad in the new More4 series – despite having his own successful Channel 5 show, Reuben: Life in the Dales.
To get excitement levels rising for the new series, Channel 4 has released an image of Clive and Amanda alongside their children Raven, Reuben, Edith, Clemmy, Miles, Annas, Violet, Sidney and Nancy posing on their farm to promote Our Farm Next Door.
As it’s been six years since Our Yorkshire Farm first started and two years since it ended, the Owen children have had plenty of growing up to do in their time off-screen.
As such, after seeing the likes of youngsters Miles, Violet and the other kids in the promo posters for the new series, some fans couldn’t quite believe how much the children had changed.
On a Clive Owen fan page on Facebook, one fan even questioned: “Is the photo AI? Who is it supposed to depict apart from Amanda and Sid?”
Elsewhere, others expressed their excitement at being able to see the family return all grown-up, including a second who commented: “Will be lovely to see how much the children have grown x.
“Cannot wait to see kids now grown up,” a third weighed in before a fourth Clive fan typed: “Looking forward to seeing how the children have grown.”
The surprise at the transformations kept coming as another fan page dedicated to Our Yorkshire Farm was flooded with comments of a similar nature.
“Lovely family pic, younger children have all grown up so much. Can’t wait for the new series to start,” a fifth fan commented on the separate fan page.
And a sixth replied, according to Express: “Me too, such a lovely family and they’ve all grown so much.”
While Amanda and Clive may not be a couple any longer, both insist their relationship as friends is going well following an amicable split.
Amanda told the Sun ahead of Our Farm Next Door’s premiere: “We’re getting to a good place, but it’s been really hard.

“You won’t see us holding hands or skipping off into the sunset. We still bicker. We care about each other, but we’re not a couple.
“We have to get on with life because we have nine kids and animals to feed. I’m just glad we can sit together calmly because there was a time when we couldn’t have envisaged it.
“We’re still here today because of the honest admission of our own failings. Maybe we know more about each other now. I feel like I can talk openly and honestly to Clive in a way I couldn’t before.”
Fans will get to see how Amanda and Clive get on with restoring Anty Johns to its former glory when the More4 series debuts, but daughter Raven gave fans a sneak peek in November last year.
