Four Retrospective Specials: Amazon Prime Video confirms four new specials featuring Clarkson, May, and Hammond, revisiting highlights from The Grand Tour.
First Special: 'The Not Very Grand Tour: The Power and the Glory' launches globally on April 18, 2025, focusing on the internal combustion engine and iconic car moments.
Future Specials: Three more specials ('A Trip Down Memory Lane', 'A Bit Further Down Memory Lane', 'Completely Lost Down Memory Lane') will follow, covering epic drives, builds, pranks, and mishaps, reportedly with new commentary from the trio.
New Host Rumors: Reports suggest popular TikTok trainspotter and engineer Francis Bourgeois is being considered to host a *future* iteration of The Grand Tour, potentially alongside May and Hammond, as the brand may continue without Clarkson in the lead.
Why this matters: This provides fans with more content featuring the original presenters while hinting at a possible evolution of the popular motoring show format with a fresh perspective, potentially appealing to a wider audience.
After years of globetrotting adventures, first on BBC's *Top Gear* and then on Amazon Prime Video's *The Grand Tour*, the presenting trio of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May concluded their joint road trips with the final special, "One For The Road," in late 2024. While their production company dissolved, the demand for their unique brand of motoring entertainment remained.
Amazon Prime Video is bridging the gap with four retrospective specials collectively dubbed 'The Grand-ish Tour'. These episodes will delve into the archives:
The Not Very Grand Tour: The Power and the Glory (April 18, 2025): Celebrating the internal combustion engine, hypercars, muscle cars, and races.
The Grand-ish Tour: A Trip Down Memory Lane: Reliving epic driving moments and the challenges faced in various locations.
The Grand-ish Tour: A Bit Further Down Memory Lane: Focusing on the trio's ambitious and often chaotic builds.
The Grand-ish Tour: Completely Lost Down Memory Lane: A mix of racing, drifting, demolition, explosions, and farewells.
These specials promise to bring back fan-favorite moments, potentially enhanced with new commentary from the hosts.
Richard Hammond confirmed that while the original hosts are stepping away, the *brand* "The Grand Tour" is set to continue on Prime Video with new presenters. Adding fuel to this, multiple reports suggest that TikTok sensation Francis Bourgeois, known for his infectious enthusiasm for trains and holding an engineering background, is being considered for a hosting role in a future reboot. It's speculated Clarkson would only appear in archive footage in this potential new format. Amazon has not officially confirmed Bourgeois's involvement.
