The BBC has issued an update on the future of Freddie Flintoff's Field of Dreams.
The first series of Freddie Flintoff's Field of Dreams aired on the BBC back in 2022.
It followed Flintoff as he created a "cricket team like no other" in his hometown of Preston.
During the series, he transformed a rundown cricket club and changed the lives of the players in his "unlikely" team.
Field of Dreams returned two years later (in 2024) for a second series, which saw the team head to India for a cricket tour.
Field of Dreams on Tour marked Flintoff's return to TV following an accident at the Top Gear Test Track - the Dunsfold Aerodrome, Surrey, in December 2022.
'Freddie' Flintoff flipped a Morgan Super 3 vehicle on one of the bends at the Top Gear test track during filming for the show, while not wearing a helmet.
Describing the accident on the Disney+ documentary Flintoff, the former international cricketer said he was travelling at around 40 to 45mph when the front wheel came off, and the car flipped.
Because it was an open-top car, Flintoff's face scraped along the tarmac.
At one point, he said he was dragged under the car for about 50 metres as it slid across the runway, before it eventually hit the grass and flipped back upright.
Flintoff added: "I thought I was dead because I was conscious, but I couldn't see anything."
The presenter sustained "significant" facial injuries, including losing portions of his upper and lower lips and broken and lost teeth.
Series three of Freddie Flintoff's Field of Dreams aired in 2025, featuring three new teams - two boys' sides from Bootle (Liverpool) and Newton Heath (Manchester), and a girls' side from Blackpool.
The latest series, which aired on BBC One and iPlayer, received rave reviews online.
One person, posting on Reddit group r/EnglandCricket, said: "Just wanted to say, third series of this is as brilliant as the last two.
"Fred's an absolute legend and the man can pick his son for as many teams as he wants in my opinion."
Another added: "Some of the best telly I've ever seen."
A third viewer commented: "It's made me cry and laugh!"
