What is The Grand Tour (TV) About?
The Grand Tour is a British motoring series that showcases the exploits of presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. Created after their departure from the BBC's Top Gear, the show premiered on Amazon Prime Video on 18 November 2016. Characterized by its blend of car-centric content and the trio's comedic chemistry, the show often features high-performance vehicle reviews, epic road trips, celebrity guests, and eccentric competitions. Initially formatted similarly to Top Gear, the series also included studio segments filmed inside a large traveling tent, which catered to a live audience and visited various international locations in its first season before taking a permanent location in the Cotswolds. The Grand Tour has evolved from its conventional episodic release to a focus on feature-length specials, presenting the hosts in grand automotive escapades around the world. The show gained notability for its high production values, in-depth car analysis, and the hosts' light-hearted take on motoring.
The first episode of The Grand Tour aired on November 17, 2016 and the most recent episode to air was on February 15, 2024.
