Exciting Prime Video Announces Updates for ‘The Grand Tour’

In some exciting news, Prime Video has announced a new hosting trio for The Grand Tour. The popular motoring series is making a comeback with Francis Bourgeois, James Engelsman, and Thomas Holland taking the reins. The new season will consist of six episodes packed with car culture exploration, unique automotive challenges, and thrilling road trips in various locations like California, Malaysia, and Angola.

The original hosts, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, ended their run two years ago. However, the producers promise that the reboot will stay true to the show’s signature humor, adventure, and love for cars while bringing a fresh dynamic for a new audience to enjoy.

Francis Bourgeois, one of the new hosts, humorously mentioned that filling the shoes of the original hosts will be like “Mo Farah running in size 14 wellies.” James Engelsman expressed his excitement for this new adventure, especially with Thomas Holland joining the team. Meanwhile, Thomas Holland reflected on his initial reservations about taking on the challenge, emphasizing that only a “moron” would attempt to replace Clarkson, Hammond, and May.

The selection process for the new hosts was extensive, but the executives believe that the trio is more than capable of carrying the show forward. Engelsman and Holland are known for their popular YouTube channel, Throttle House, where they provide entertaining and informative reviews of classic cars. Bourgeois, on the other hand, is a mechanical engineer with a strong background in the industry and a large following online as a trainspotter.

With a mix of comedy, expertise, and thrilling driving sequences, the new season of The Grand Tour is set for a global release on Prime Video later this year, reaching viewers in over 240 countries and territories. Fans can look forward to a fresh take on the beloved series, blending the familiar charm with exciting new adventures.
