The Grand Tour’s new hosts already being lined up for second season

Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond have reunited at the premiere for the new series of The Grand Tour.

The trio founded Prime Video’s motoring show in 2015, following their departure from Top Gear, which they had hosted together since 2003.

Their tenure on The Grand Tour went up to 2024, when they enjoyed one final trip together across Zimbabwe and Botswana in One For The Road.

According to executive producer Andy Wilman, a new series will fully establish the new hosts as personalities in viewers’ minds.

Bourgeois, real name Luke Nicolson, said of his Grand Tour appointment: “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.”

Meanwhile, Holland, who hosts Throttle House, a popular automotive YouTube channel known for its car reviews and track tests, alongside Engelsman, 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.’”

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.”
