The latest television venture from the renowned trio Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May has been revealed. The three are set to grace our screens once more following the conclusion of their popular show, The Grand Tour.
Famed for their stint on Top Gear, Jeremy, Richard and James hosted the successful series until 2015 when Jeremy was dismissed due to an alleged dispute with a producer. His co-hosts subsequently departed and transitioned to the Amazon Prime series The Grand Tour, which premiered in 2016 but concluded in 2024 with two poignant special episodes.
At the time of the show’s finale, James suggested that it might be time for a fresh motoring show as he felt they were “too old”, a sentiment Jeremy concurred with. However, the trio is now reuniting for another Amazon Prime Video project, aptly named The Not Very Grand Tour.
