Prime Video has confirmed that the six-part motoring series The Grand Tour will return on 4th September in its revamped form, made by Studio Lambert.
Replacing presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are Francis Bourgeois, alongside James Engelsman and Thomas Holland, the creators of the YouTube show Throttle House, behind the wheel.
Studio Lambert is now producing the series which last aired on Prime Video in September 2024.
Together, the trio will tackle motoring challenges, from crossing the Angolan desert in track cars to exploring Malaysia’s vibrant car culture, before heading to California to test cutting-edge performance cars.
Francis Bourgeois said: “Since completing the filming of the series, I haven’t stopped replaying every moment in my head. It has made me laugh, made my heart race and my stomach turn…remembering the tent I shared with Thomas and James filled with sulphuric farts whilst Angolan jackals snooped around outside. It feels as though it was a dream but knowing we will get to share our adventures soon makes me so incredibly excited!”
James Engelsman said: “We took on the West African Desert. We contended with fighter pilots. We even decided to challenge an entire nation’s legal system by protesting from the mountain tops. In doing so, the three of us learned our true strength: How to accept defeat gracefully.”
Thomas Holland said: “I figured someone would be there to hold our hand the whole time. Nope. We were on our own in some absolutely wild environments in very, VERY questionable cars. What did we learn from this experience? Only that we have very poor decision-making skills. When you watch in September, expect a good laugh. And maybe a few butt clenches…”
