The grand tour season 4: release date, number of episodes, cars, locations.

After a full year, The Grand Tour will return from its hiatus, and fans of the popular show are ecstatic. The fun starts on December 18.

The wait is finally over as Amazon's popular series The Grand Tour has produced an actual date for season 4's return, although the show may be unleashing a second tease on its cult following. Former Top Gear  legends Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May (Captain Slow) are coming back on December 18.

Fans have been teased with The Grand Tour season 4 before. The Grand Tour Presents... Seamen  released on December 13, 2019, meaning the technical episode 2 for season 4 will air over a year later. Now, that is a tease! The Seamen episode featured the classic trio trading their clutch-pushing legs for sea legs and followed them on a boating adventure of epic proportions. They took a voyage from Siem Reap, Cambodia to Vung Tau, Vietnam. Of course, it featured all of the teams' usual fun antics. In its description on Amazon, it was labeled as "the first of a series of feature-length specials ." What happened, and why has it been so long since another release?

The second episode (or feature-length special, teaser, or whatever fans would like to call it) is airing on Amazon Prime on December 18, 2020, which means there is something good to cap off this brutal year. This special will take the team to Madagascar, where they will hunt for pirate treasure and modify vehicles for sandy, wet, and rainforest environments. Viewers will be thrilled to finally get a chance to hang out with the three best friends. However, they may have to hold onto that enjoyment for quite some time. The December 18 episode is called,  The Grand Tour Presents: A Massive Hunt . See the official trailer below :

Coronavirus has been a hot topic these days, and its reach has shut down everything, from bars and shops to the entertainment industry, even in the UK. This means that even though the team has been as careful as can be (they created a socially-distanced bubble "family"), they will be unable to film  The Grand Tour season 4 episode 3. The trio was set to go to Russia but that trip has been postponed, rather than cancelled. James May has also confirmed that there is a Scotland special which has already been filmed. The car enthusiast said:  “We’ve already filmed one for next year which is our recent Scotland adventure, so I would hope we could do another one next year but it’s slightly out of our control. It depends what happens with all the COVID stuff. But I’m confident we’ll be able to film another one, so two will come out in 2021!”

This begs the question, what is the future of The Grand Tour ? Most individuals would be fine with the comedic gold that comes from this happy little trio traveling. Others may be upset if specials are all the show offers since they typically don't review fancy cars when they do challenges. One thing on every fan's mind is whether the traditional idea of seasons is ending. With James May's comment, it seems that the team's intention is to release a new episode or special once a year. It's ideal for the cast, as they get to explore the world and do what they love, but bad news for fans who have to suffer a full 365 days with no new content. Fingers crossed that this episode is enough to tide viewers over.

The Grand Tour: Eurocrash Review – the Top Gear trio tackle Central Europe

Here is our review of the Prime Video series The Grand Tour: Eurocrash (Season 5, Episode 2), which does not contain spoilers.

Controversy be damned, Jeremy Clarkson is back on our screens once again whether you like it or not, returning for yet another instalment of the motoring reality TV series The Grand Tour .

Although this may be one of the last episodes from the series as Prime Video looks to cut ties with the controversial journalist. Current affairs aside though, this is another highly entertaining, yet standard offering from the Top Gear trio as they travel through Central Europe in weird, comical cars.

The Grand Tour: Eurocrash Review

The fifth season of The Grand Tour continues with its second stand-alone special, after 2022’s A Scandi Flick . In the latest episode, Richard Hammond , Jeremy Clarkson, and James May take part in a road trip that no one has ever thought of doing before.

Travelling from Gdansk, Poland, through the countries of Slovakia and Hungary, before ending in Slovenia, where they’ll conclude at the scenic Lake Bled.

This unconventional road trip is then made all the more hilarious with the addition of those aforementioned ‘weird’ cars. Richard Hammond is first on the scene, driving a yellow convertible pick-up truck for the entirety of the 1400-mile journey.

Whilst Jeremy Clarkson can be found in a hideous, limited-edition Japanese gangster car, which looks like something Cruella de Vil would drive. And James May is there, bringing up the rear in a 75-year-old micro mini that is four feet wide and struggles to reach its top speed of 40 mph. This of course becomes a clear hazard on the European motorways.

As the they travel through Central Europe, the presenters enjoy some gorgeous sight-seeing diversions, they take in the history and the culture of each individual nation, whilst performing elaborate practical jokes on one another, as you’d expect.

There’s room for some car analysis as well in between all the pranks, with the trio using their standard sarcastic wit to inform viewers of their peculiar cars and the many other vehicles specific to those four countries.

This is all topped off with some action-packed races and a truly captivating grand finale.

Is The Grand Tour: Eurocrash good or bad?

Eurocrash is a lot of fun. The trio get up to their usual scripted shenanigans, deploying their trademark irreverent humor wherever they go, as they plough their way through Europe. It’s painfully staged at times, but the old formula still works an absolute treat anyway. This special is sure to put a smile on your face at some point during its feature-length run time.

There’s nothing new or original to the latest instalment, yet the trio are comforting and consistent nonetheless. Fans of the series and the trio’s previous work will not be disappointed.

This is an entertaining road trip, including rebellious, silly comedy, detailed car analysis, and a cracking soundtrack.

Is The Grand Tour: Eurocrash worth watching?

Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson, and James May have been performing these sorts of specials for nearly two decades now and very little has changed with regards to their style or delivery in all that time.

Yet even with such an overwhelming history of content behind them, the tried and tested formula still succeeds. It just feels a little dated now is all.

The Grand Tour Presents: Lochdown: release date, trailer and new episodes explained

What we know about the show's Scotland and Russia specials

The Grand Tour season 4, episode 3 is coming on July 30, Amazon has confirmed – and it'll take co-hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May to Scotland in a special called Lochdown. The episode was actually filmed in 2020, mid-pandemic, so hopefully we won't have to wait too long to see it. The special will imitate the feeling of an American road trip – without actually requiring the British hosts to leave their country. 

There's a first trailer for The Grand Tour Presents: Lochdown, too, which you can see below.

There's more good news if you're a fan of The Grand Tour Presents: a new episode has been filming this year in Wales and parts of England like Warwickshire. This dovetails with what James May said in an interview last year about filming more episodes closer to home in an effort to release them more regularly. Given how languid the releases have become lately – a year separated the release of the last two specials, Seamen and A Massive Hunt – that will come as a relief.

Below, we'll tell you everything we know about the future of The Grand Tour Presents on Amazon Prime – including details about the Scotland-based Lochdown special, what we know about the new UK episode as it films, and what happened to the lost Russia special that was originally set to follow A Massive Hunt.

The Grand Tour Presents: Lochdown release date is July 30, 2021

The next special in The Grand Tour Presents series is called Lochdown – and it just got a release date of July 30 on Amazon Prime Video. Check out the trailer in the section below for confirmation.

That's not all that's coming from Clarkson and pals in the foreseeable future, though.

As of April 2021, another special for The Grand Tour was filming in the UK – the three hosts were spotted filming in Llandrindod Wells, Wales, by The Grand Tour Fans YouTube channel . They were each driving classic French cars, which hints a little at the theme for the episode. Jeremy Clarkson was apparently spotted driving a Citroën CX Break, James May was glimpsed in a Renault Avantime, while Richard Hammond was reportedly in a Matra Murena, according to the channel. Later, the hosts were spot in Leamington in England, filming near a retail park.

That episode seems like it's probably a while away, though. Let's go through what we know about the Lochdown special's filming, first. A first teaser for that episode was released on social media earlier this year – Clarkson describes the special as The Grand Tour 'unplugged'.

Earlier plans to record an episode in Russia were put on-hold because of the pandemic (see below) – so the Lochdown special was filmed in Scotland across nine days earlier in 2020 instead.

"We did it in area of Scotland with not many people," co-host James May told BT . "We didn’t interact with the locals really. There were complicated systems set up for cleaning everything and it was a bit tiresome going through lots of procedures and being tested every day, but it didn’t get in the way of filming to be honest."

The hosts couldn't go to the pub after filming the episode, which must've been a challenge. 

While it might be a long wait until the trio and their crew can head to more exotic locations, the intent is to keep making episodes in locations where it's easier to pull off – hence why a Wales-filmed special probably makes sense. "In the short term we might have to reduce our travel ambitions and we’ll have a better chance of doing it," May says. "Better to film in the UK and deliver regularly than promise the earth and not deliver anything. The Grand Tour may become a little more domestic. But it will still be us three which is the important thing. And cars."

That bodes well for the future – and who knows, maybe we'll start seeing episodes of The Grand Tour season 4 land more regularly than once every year again.

The Grand Tour Presents: Lochdown trailer

Och aye the new trailer for The Grand Tour Presents... #Lochdown is here pic.twitter.com/0eobci0wpL July 15, 2021

Check out the trailer for The Grand Tour Presents: Lochdown above, which was released in July 2021.

To film the upcoming Scotland special during the pandemic, the crew formed a bubble, and no one caught Covid-19 during the shoot. It was reported that the hosts were seen driving classic American cars from Edinburgh to the Hebrides – which suggests some kind of Route 66-style road trip element. 

Clarkson was seen driving a blue Lincoln, May was seen driving a red Cadillac, and Hammond was seen in a green Buick. The trio also took part in a drag race on a runway somewhere in south Scotland, for which the cars mentioned were apparently modified, and were seen towing caravans at one point too.

May says that being a bit closer to the home for the hosts doesn't matter that much – after all, viewers on Amazon Prime Video could be watching it from anywhere. "If you're watching The Grand Tour from Sri Lanka, Scotland is as exotic and beautiful as Sri Lanka is from Scotland, so there's always going to be a large part of the audience which finds anywhere in the world fascinating."

And hey, anything that gets the hosts to film new episodes faster seems like a good thing. 

The Grand Tour season 4 Russia special: what we know

Yes, the next Special will land later this year.Yes, it’s filmed in Madagascar and yes, there will be cars.Yes, we wanted to go to Russia.No, we couldn’t (we all know why).Yes, we will try again.No, we don’t know when.Yes, we will keep you updated.#TheGrandTour July 7, 2020

The next planned episode for The Grand Tour Presents was meant to take the hosts to Russia – and this is still the idea, one day. It's just been postponed for now due to the pandemic. James May says that lots of preparation has been made for this special, but that it's "just impossible right now". Hopefully, with the incoming wave of vaccines, that might be able to change in future – but it seems unlikely you'll see a Russia special of The Grand Tour at any point in the next year or so.

After the next UK special, though, Clarkson did confirm the plan was to film abroad – they're just not sure where yet.

The boys are back with a brand new episode of The Grand Tour. This time, they are headed to Mauritania for their penultimate adventure – and viewers can watch it now!

In the latest episode, titled Sand Job, the trio will follow in the footsteps of the legendary Paris-Dakar rally, but they'll have to take on their adventure in modified sports cars.

It'll no doubt be an exciting episode, with Richard Hammond previously teasing a "surprise" for the episode.

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com ahead of the launch, Hammond revealed: "There was there was a surprise arrival in [the] minefield, because it's [Mauritania] still on the red list in terms of travel, and the last thing you want in or near a minefield is a surprise.

'There was a scary encounter with some Ebola carrying bats. My car, the Aston Martin, was the troublesome one of the bunch because it comes from an era when cars were just becoming intelligent... and that gave me no end prompt. Plus, the guys just destroyed me as well. There was quite a bit of pranking."

When will the next episode of The Grand Tour be released?

The next instalment of The Grand Tour became available to watch on Friday 16th February on Prime Video . It's out now!

The Grand Tour locations

The trio have previously filmed in far-flung locations such as Colombia, Vietnam and Switzerland - and next time will be no different.

The newest instalment will see the trio head back to Africa, as they have this time filmed the show in Mauritiana, a country in the Northwest of the continent.

Speaking of the location, Clarkson said: "I love deserts, so I've always wanted to do the Sahara, but it's difficult to go there; you can't go to Mali or Libya or Algeria or Chad. You can't go to the top of Nigeria.

"And then it was really a question of finding the most inappropriate cars for trans-Sahara travel, and I think we did a pretty good job on that."

Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond Shoot Final Episode of The Grand Tour

After seven years on Amazon Prime, the beloved motoring show will end with the final special filmed in Zimbabwe.

The trio has been together for twenty years. In 2003, they worked together as presenters on the hit show Top Gear. In 2015, Clarkson left the show after getting into a physical altercation with a producer. In 2016, the group reunited for The Grand Tour. In 2019, after the first three seasons, the format of the show changed from a weekly program to a series of specials. About two feature-length specials were released each year. Now, those are set to end.

This has been a tough month for fans of both The Grand Tour and Top Gear. It was recently announced that Top Gear would also not return for the foreseeable future.

In an appearance on the Today Podcast last week, May said he felt it was time for Top Gear to try something new.

"My honest view is—I can say this now—it does need a bit of a rethink," May said. "It's time for a new format and a new approach to the subject because the subject has not been this interesting, I suspect, since the car has been invented."

Thankfully, fans of Clarkson, May, and Hammond can still get their fix with other shows. Clarkson has the popular Clarkson's Farm series which will have at least two more seasons. And May has his Our Man In... series. Still, the end of The Grand Tour marks the end of an era in automotive entertainment.

Clarkson, Hammond, and May’s Grand Tour Tenure Is Coming to an End

The Grand Tour’s end comes just weeks after the BBC indefinitely shut down Top Gear.

NicoDeMattia

The old Top Gear trio of Jeremy Clarkson , Richard Hammond, and James May will be hitting your screen as the hosts of The Grand Tour for the final time in 2024. The two final episodes have now been filmed, taking place in Mauritania and Zimbabwe, where the trio we've grown to love will close a chapter that's been three decades in the making.

“We’re done. I have reviewed cars on TV since 1989. That’s 34 years. And after next year, I won’t be doing that any more," Clarkson told The Times .

Since The Grand Tour launched in 2016, after Clarkson was fired from Top Gear for punching a producer, it's gone through several changes. First, it was essentially a Top Gear recreation, with celebrity interviews and an in-studio live show. Then they tightened it up by ditching the celebrity stuff. Eventually, they ditched the live show altogether and just made feature-length specials. And while none of The Grand Tour's iterations managed to capture the magic of Top Gear at its best , it was still one of the most watched shows on Amazon Prime . Millions of people tuned in to watch the automotive equivalent of the Three Stooges (and I mean that as a grand compliment).

All three hosts have their own projects to pursue outside of The Grand Tour anyway. Clarkson has his farm show and May has a travel show, both of which are also on Amazon Prime , while Hammond still does a lot of work for DriveTribe , while also presenting other TV programs. So they'll still be around, even though The Grand Tour won't be.

This news also comes just a couple of weeks after the BBC decided to indefinitely shut down Top Gear . After host Freddie Flintoff's accident during filming and the subsequent settlement, the BBC decided against renewing the show. Clarkson doesn't blame the most recent trio of Top Gear hosts for not wanting to return, either, specifically Flintoff.

"Richard Hammond was always keen to get back to work [following a crash], whereas Freddie isn’t," Clarkson told The Sun . "I don’t blame him. I know what happened on that awful day and it was horrific."

Clarkson even said that anyone who wants to take over in Flintoff's spot would come across as "heartless."

In a matter of weeks, the world learned that the two most entertaining car shows on TV are shutting down. We all knew this day was coming soon, as the original Top Gear gang are all either in their sixties or getting quite close, but it's still a little sad to see them go. Sure, their most recent work pales in comparison to the shows from their prime but, like most millennial car nerds, Clarkson, Hammond, and May made an indelible impression on me and the way I look at cars, and I'm sure I'm not alone on that one. Thanks for the memories, chaps.

'no more grand tour after next year', clarkson confirms.

The Grand Tour is coming to an end. After Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond filmed two final specials last year, in Mauritania and Zimbabwe, Clarkson has confirmed TGT is not long for this world, later stating that he is “old and fat and unfit” and that the show is running out of fresh ideas. "No more Grand Tour after next year but a LOT more Clarkson's Farm," he initially said on Instagram in late 2023, not long after announcing that there's to be a fourth season of his hit agricultural series. 

The Grand Tour may yet be remade into something different, however. “The BBC understands options are being explored for a new incarnation of the show,” the BBC News report said. At the time of writing, Amazon Prime and Clarkson's co-stars had yet to comment on the show’s demise in its current form.

News of TGT's demise doesn’t come as a huge surprise. Earlier this year James May hinted on the Fuelling Around podcast that the end of TGT was on the horizon. "It's not over but we're probably nearer the end than the beginning,” he said, adding, “God, I hope so, we don't want another 20 years of this."

There did, however, seem to be some uncertainty over the show’s expiry date at the time. "We've got another one about to come out, we've just filmed another one a few weeks ago and we've got another one planned to film later this year,” May said at the time, adding, "What happens after that I don't know, it's a bit of a grey fog, it always is."

News of TGT’s end comes a little over a week since the BBC announced Clarkson, Hammond and May’s former show, Top Gear, would be paused for the “foreseeable future” following an accident during filming that left presenter Andrew ‘Freddie” Flintoff seriously injured.

Hammond and May followed Clarkson to Amazon Prime after the latter’s contract wasn’t renewed by the BBC following a physical altercation with a producer. The trio produced three series in a studio-based magazine format, much like Top Gear, before switching to make sporadically released ‘specials’.

The final two episodes are set to be released later in 2024. Along with Clarkson's Farm, May’s other Amazon project - Our Man In… is set to continue.

When will The Grand Tour: Sand Job be released in the UK?

Clarkson, may and hammond’s rough-and-ready road trips near their end.

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Jeremy Clarkson , Richard Hammond and James May return for The Grand Tour : Sand Job, a special new episode of the trio’s popular motorsport programme due to air on Prime Video .

Debuting in 2016, The Grand Tour was conceived after a much-publicised scuffle resulted in Clarkson leaving the BBC and its popular car magazine show Top Gear . His fellow co-hosts Hammond and May quickly followed suit and before the engine of their previous show had time to cool, the threesome had been snapped up by Prime Video and production for The Grand Tour was underway.

Initially, The Grand Tour followed a similar format to its BBC predecessor, with Clarkson, Hammond and May reviewing cars, engaging with a live audience in a hangar-type space and embarking on various car-related quests. This changed after the show’s third series, with its remaining episodes instead sending its presenters on various racing adventures worldwide which were later released as a series of specials.

With the show nearing the finishing line, we now have details of the first of its final special episodes. Here’s everything we know about The Grand Tour: Sand Job.

When will The Grand Tour: Sand Job be released?

The Grand Tour: Sand Job will debut on Friday, 16 February on Prime Video.

Is there a trailer for The Grand Tour: Sand Job?

A trailer has now been revealed for The Grand Tour: Sand Job, which teases the long and difficult journey that Clarkson, Hammond and May go on in order to complete the Paris-Dakar race themselves.

The trailer shows some of the hurdles that the trio face along the way, including Hammond's Aston Martin struggling in the desert terrain and breaking down in multiple ways — like his air conditioning turning off. But there are a number of funny moments too in the trailer, showing that the penultimate Grand Tour special will be one that will delight viewers.

Watch the trailer for The Grand Tour: Sand Job:

What happens in the grand tour: sand job.

The Grand Tour: Sand Job will take Clarkson, Hammond and May on a new trip to the African country of Mauritania where the hosts must replicate the famous Paris to Dakar rally.

However, like all of their TV treks, there’s a catch.

“Instead of bespoke Dakar racers, the boys must complete their journey in cheap modified sports cars,” explains the show’s official synopsis. “Their journey begins with the world’s longest train and sees them tackle the killer Sahara and perilous river crossings whilst protecting their precious fuel bowser from exploding.”

This special episode of The Grand Tour will see the trio forced to endure red-hot temperatures and harsh sand terrane to finish a challenge that Prime Video has described as “a true test for both the presenters and their cars.”

Is The Grand Tour: Sand Job the last episode of season 5?

No. The Grand Tour: Sand Job is not the final episode of season 5 - it’s the penultimate show.

The final episode of The Grand Tour season 5 will debut later in 2024 but a concrete release date has yet to be pinned down. All we know is that it will take Clarkson, Hammond and May to Zimbabwe.

The decision to end the series comes after Clarkson admitted that producers behind the show had run out of ideas about where to send them.

"I’ve driven cars higher than anyone else and further north than anyone else. We’ve done everything you can do with a car,” Clarkson told The Times . "When we had meetings about what to do next, people just threw their arms in the air."

The Grand Tour: Sand Job will be released on Friday, 16 February on Prime Video.

Amy Roloff and Husband Chris Marek Tour 10,000-Square-Foot ‘Dream’ Retirement House with 6-Car Garage

• Amy Roloff and her husband Chris Marek tour a potential dream retirement house on Tuesday’s episode of Little People, Big World 
• Chris also sees the massive abode as a business opportunity to host events, while Amy admits that the property is outside of their budget 
• The pair are blown away by the space but agree that it would require a lot of maintenance 

Amy Roloff and her husband Chris Marek are thinking big when it comes to their retirement!

On Tuesday’s new episode of Little People, Big World , the TLC stars brought viewers along with them as they tour a massive 10,000 sq. ft. house in Oregon. The scene begins with Roloff and Marek discussing the pros and cons of the property as they drive over. 

“I’m worried that this house is a little outside our budget, but it’s good to look at and see,” Roloff says.

“I think the first step is to see if we like it and if we do, work out how we pay for it,“ Marek counters, adding that seeing Amy's ex Matt Roloff ."get so far along on his dream house reminds us that we’re not in our dream house yet. So we’re actively watching and it would be nice to find that home before we retire.”

Amy then admits that the home they’re about to look at, which boasts a six-car garage, is bigger than they need but it’s more up their alley. 

“We’re used to having a little more space,” she says. “An acre would be nice. I would eventually like a home with a master on the main. We’d love a three-car garage.” 

Upon entering the six-acre property, Amy immediately notes the long, beautifully landscaped driveway, but worries about the maintenance it may require.

As they pull up to the home, they are both blown away by the spacious entryway and stunning rural view from the back windows.

“I think it looks better than the pictures,” Marek says. 

While Amy is looking for a permanent home to retire in, her husband sees the sprawling abode as a business opportunity. 

“It seems like this would be a good venue for weddings,” he says. “Not a lot of people around, you know, beautiful farmland.” 

Amy understands where her husband is coming from but admits that she doesn’t want to be working “until I’m 85” just to afford it. 

In a confessional-style clip, Amy reveals her excitement about sharing this new experience with her husband. 

“I think Chris and I, we’re still learning about each other,” she explains. “This will be the first time that we’re making some really major decisions together. I think this is kind of fun and exciting to see how we work together.”

After the pair tour the kitchen, bathroom, primary bedroom and movie room, she sighs and says: “This is high maintenance, man.”

Also during the scene, she compares the home to her ex-husband Matt's property, Roloff Farms , where she and Marek tied the knot in 2021. 

“10,000 square feet is big. I think the ‘Big House’ at the farm is a little over 5,000 square feet. And I thought the farmhouse was plenty of space as well,” she says.

Amy previously owned a portion of the farm and lived there until she and Matt divorced in 2016 . The exes share four children together — twins Zach and Jeremy , 33, a daughter named Molly, 30, and another son named Jacob , 27.

While both have moved on with new partners , Matt revealed that he was planning to leave the farm to his ex-wife during the season 16 premiere of Little People, Big World after he had a falling out with son Zach.

Little People, Big World airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET on TLC.

Jeremy Clarkson Confirms The Grand Tour’s Final Episode on Amazon Prime

TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson has confirmed the end of The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime after next year. This announcement marks the conclusion of a series beloved by fans since its inception in 2016.

Key Takeaways:

• End of The Grand Tour: Jeremy Clarkson, along with co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May , will no longer film new series of The Grand Tour after next year, following a decision by Amazon Prime’s executives. This marks the end of a popular show that started in 2016 and quickly garnered a devoted fanbase.
• Fan Reactions and Future Prospects: Fans expressed their disappointment and gratitude on social media, reflecting on the impact the show had on their lives. Despite the end of this era, there’s speculation that Amazon Prime may revive The Grand Tour with new hosts, a move reportedly welcomed by the current presenters.
• Clarkson’s Future Endeavours: Clarkson mentioned a focus on his other project, ‘Clarkson’s Farm’, and there are two more special episodes of The Grand Tour slated for release, featuring travels to Mauritania and Zimbabwe.

TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson, renowned for his role in the popular car show The Grand Tour alongside Richard Hammond and James May, has recently spoken about the future of the series. The show, which began on Amazon Prime in 2016, has been a fan favourite but will see no further series after next year. This decision, made by the streaming platform’s bosses, brings an end to a series that has been both entertaining and influential for car enthusiasts.

Clarkson shared his thoughts on Instagram, stating:

“Been a busy day. No more Grand Tour after next year but a LOT more Clarkson’s Farm. Which, this evening, is looking extremely lovely.”

This post quickly became a hub for fans to express their feelings about the series ending. The emotional reactions ranged from sadness over the show’s conclusion to appreciation for the years of entertainment it provided.

One fan commented:

“Please start a podcast with the three of you, it can just be called the news and you rant for an hour about cars.”

Others expressed their gratitude:

“The end of Clarkson, Hammond and May in whatever it’s called is a sad day. Thank you for everything you did for petrolheads. And now farmheads!”

The influence of the trio was evident in another fan’s words:

“It’s really nice coming to the comments and seeing how these 3 impacted the lives of so many. These lads got me through countless dark times with laughter and endless banter. We all knew the day was coming, and the truest of fans will wish you, Hammond, May, and indeed all of the crew that made the magic happen the absolute best in the next stage. Thank you for inspiring countless enthusiasts around the world.”

Despite Clarkson’s announcement, there’s talk that Amazon Prime might continue The Grand Tour with new hosts. An insider revealed:

“It’s a surprising decision and everyone realises it very much marks the end of an era for the three presenters.”

This potential revival aligns with the presenters’ acceptance of passing the torch to a new generation.

“The Grand Tour is one of Prime Video’s most watched shows and Jeremy, James and Richard have a devoted following. But the guys have made no bones about the fact they’re all advancing in years and they have lots of other projects to pursue,” a source informed The Sun. “They just felt like the time was right and wanted to go out on a high when the show remained popular.”

As fans prepare to bid farewell to this iconic trio, they can look forward to two more special episodes of The Grand Tour, showcasing the team’s adventures in Mauritania and Zimbabwe. This farewell follows their departure from Top Gear in 2015, after a disagreement with producers.
