The Grand Tour Returns In September With New Hosts, Will You Be Watching? | Carscoops

Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond signed off as host of The Grand Tour in the fall of 2024. Now, nearly two years later, the program is set to return with a trio of new hosts.

In a series of social media posts, The Grand Tour announced the show would return on September 4 on Prime Video. They added it’s the “same show,” but “new knobs.”

The hosts were announced earlier this year as James Engelsman and Thomas Holland of Throttle House fame. They’ll be joined by lesser-known trainspotter Francis Bourgeois, who is just 26.

Little is known about the new season at this point and it’s not even on Amazon’s official press calendar. In fact, the retail giant hasn’t said much about the reboot at all.

That doesn’t exactly exude confidence in the series, but the debut is still nearly a month and a half away. As a result, there’s plenty of time left for teasers and marketing.

That being said, fan reaction has been somewhat mixed. A number of people have chimed in on the post to say they’ll give the rebooted series a shot. Others are less optimistic and have suggested “no one cares” as it was the chemistry between Clarkson, Hammond, and May that made the original worth watching.

It’s hard to argue with that as Top Gear famously struggled after their departure and has been off the air for years. Furthermore, viewers established a relationship with the trio over decades and were invested in them.

That’s not the case with the new group, but Holland and Engelsman should have plenty of chemistry as they’ve been working together for years. They’re also widely known in automotive circles, so they seem like a natural fit.

With all that being said, are you interested in the new version of the show and will you be watching?
