The Grand Tour
Prime Video has revealed the presenters of the new series of The Grand Tour: celebrated trainspotter and secret petrolhead Francis Bourgeois, alongside James Engelsman and Thomas Holland, the acclaimed creators of the YouTube phenomenon Throttle House.
Together, the trio will front a six-part, globe-trotting series, tackling motoring's most pressing—and delightfully absurd—questions across some of the world's most challenging terrains.
Bourgeois said: “The saying ‘big shoes to fill’ spring to mind. Well, in this case it’ll be like Mo Farah running in size 14 wellies — it’ll be a little awkward at first, perhaps blister-inducing but will overall be an interesting watch.”
Engelsman said: “I’ve worked with Thomas for almost a decade making car films. Who knew that all this time, the one ingredient that was missing was a Francis Bourgeois? Let the car adventures commence.”
Holland added: “When I first heard they were rebooting The Grand Tour and replacing Clarkson, Hammond and May, I said ‘only a moron would take that job’.”
Tara Erer, head of UK & Northern Europe Originals, said: “The Grand Tour is Prime Video’s most watched unscripted UK Original series globally, so finding the right successors was no small feat – but we’ve absolutely struck gold.
“We’re beyond excited to pass the keys to Thomas, James and Francis, three standout talents who emerged from an extensive search, each bringing distinctive talents and energy that will propel the series into exciting new territory while capturing the spirit of adventure and camaraderie of this beloved franchise.”
Two years after Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May drove off into the Botswana sunset for the final time, The Grand Tour roars back with a new series packed with adventure, from crossing the Angolan desert in track cars to exploring Malaysia's vibrant car culture, before heading to California to test America's latest and greatest performance cars.
The new series of The Grand Tour honours the show's legacy whilst driving it into a new era.
