'The Grand Tour' is back—and it's bringing a fresh trio of presenters along for the ride.
Prime Video has confirmed that the beloved motoring series will return exclusively on 4 September with six new episodes, available to stream in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
A new era for 'The Grand Tour'
Taking the wheel this time around are trainspotter-turned-petrolhead Francis Bourgeois, alongside James Engelsman and Thomas Holland—the creators behind YouTube motoring phenomenon Throttle House.
Together, the trio will tackle motoring's most pressing (and delightfully absurd) questions across some of the world's most challenging terrains.
What to expect from the new series
The new series promises everything fans love about 'The Grand Tour'—big adventures, questionable car choices, and plenty of laughs. Here's a taste of what's in store:
- Crossing the Angolan desert in track cars
- Exploring Malaysia's vibrant car culture
- Heading to California to test cutting-edge performance cars
- Challenging fighter pilots and even an entire nation's legal system
On the road with Francis, James, and Thomas
Francis Bourgeois said: “Since completing the filming of the series, I haven’t stopped replaying every moment in my head. It has made me laugh, made my heart race and my stomach turn…remembering the tent I shared with Thomas and James filled with sulphuric farts whilst Angolan jackals snooped around outside. It feels as though it was a dream but knowing we will get to share our adventures soon makes me so incredibly excited!”
For James Engelsman, the challenges went beyond the road: "We took on the West African Desert. We contended with fighter pilots. We even decided to challenge an entire nation's legal system by protesting from the mountain tops. In doing so, the three of us learned our true strength: How to accept defeat gracefully."
Thomas Holland, meanwhile, admitted the trio were largely left to fend for themselves: "I figured someone would be there to hold our hand the whole time. Nope. We were on our own in some absolutely wild environments in very, VERY questionable cars. What did we learn from this experience? Only that we have very poor decision-making skills. When you watch in September, expect a good laugh. And maybe a few butt clenches..."
