WHAT’S NEW ON PRIME

“Clarkson’s Farm” - Season 2

-

British journalist and TV personalit­y Jeremy Clarkson (famous for “Top Gear” and Amazon’s “The Grand Tour”) pulls his boots back on and gets down and dirty in the second season of the Amazon reality series “Clarkson’s Farm,” premiering Friday, Feb. 10, on Prime Video. The first season saw Clarkson, who is definitely not a farmer, take on a new venture when he buys and learns how to tend to a British farm, following him through his first year in an informativ­e, intense, back-breaking and sometimes heartbreak­ing journey, as he grappled with the worst farming weather in decades, disobedien­t animals, unresponsi­ve crops and an unexpected pandemic. Heading into its second season, “Clarkson’s Farm” catches up with the hapless new farmer as he introduces some new crops and animals, tries to diversify his operation with a restaurant, and relies heavily on his farmhand, Kaleb, and a host of local experts to get them through the year. Directed by Will Yapp (“The Circus,” 2012), the series is executive produced by Clarkson, Peter Fincham (“The Chelsea Detective”) and Andy Wilman (“The Grand Tour”).

“Somebody I Used To Know” (2023)

“Community” and “GLOW” star Alison Brie teams up with husband Dave Franco (“The Afterparty”) in the new rom-com “Somebody I Used to Know,” premiering Friday, Feb. 10, on Prime. When workaholic TV producer Ally (Brie) faces a major profession­al setback, she runs back to her hometown to seek out some familiar comfort. When she spends a whirlwind evening reminiscin­g with her first love, Sean (Jay Ellis, “Top Gun: Maverick,” 2022), she starts questionin­g everything about the life she now leads and the person she’s become. To make things even more complicate­d, Sean is now married to Cassidy (Kiersey Clemons, “Dope,” 2015), whose creativity and confidence remind Ally of who she used to be. Written by Franco and Brie, who also act as executive producers on the film, “Somebody I Used to Know” is directed by Franco. Danny Pudi (“Community”), Olga Merediz (“In the Heights,” 2021), Haley Joel Osment (“The Sixth Sense,” 1999), Julie Hagerty (“Marriage Story,” 2019), Ayden Mayeri (“I Love That For You”), Amy Sedaris (“BoJack Horseman”), Sam Richardson (“Veep”) and Zoe Chao (“The Afterparty”) also star.
