- While The Grand Tour officially ended last year with its final special titled One for the Road, most of the hosts are returning for a retrospective show on Amazon Prime.
- The show will be called The Not Very Grand Tour and feature James May and Richard Hammond revisiting and commenting on old footage.
- Unfortunately, it seems Jeremy Clarkson’s appearances will be limited to his time in the old clips. The new show is scheduled to release on April 18 in the U.K.
After more than two decades of motoring all over the world, the trio of Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond aired the final episode of The Grand Tour last September. Now, they’ve got a new show coming to Amazon Prime, and they’ve thought up a cheekily fitting name: The Not Very Grand Tour.
According to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), the show’s description reads: “The team celebrates the combustion engine, with a look back at footage from past adventures and test drives.” It will be directed by Phil Churchward, who directed a significant number of Top Gear and The Grand Tour episodes throughout the decades.
The new show is set to be released on April 18 in the United Kingdom. While there’s no word on whether or not the show will be released elsewhere, the wide reach of the trio and Amazon make it seem likely. Right now, the first and only episode we currently have info on is titled The Glory and the Power, which makes sense given the show’s description.
Unfortunately, it appears the new show will have to make do without Clarkson present. A report from the British outlet Radio Times says that only May and Hammond will be hosting the show and that Clarkson’s appearances will be limited to his time in the archival footage. While the show won’t be the same without him, we’ll be glad to see the three together again in any format.
