The Grand Tour’s Richard Hammond confirms series will continue with new presenters

As a lifelong enthusiast of automobiles and the camaraderie that comes with it, I must say that the news about The Grand Tour coming to an end has left me a bit melancholic. For over two decades, Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond have been my go-to trio for all things motoring, their antics, and shared passion for cars making countless hours of entertainment.


As a devoted admirer, I’m sharing the latest scoop about the fate of Amazon Prime Video’s The Grand Tour. Our beloved hosts, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, are ready to say their goodbyes to this iconic series.

The three of them have decided to conclude their partnership, which spans over two decades. They initially gained immense fame as the hosting team for the BBC’s automotive show, Top Gear.

Beyond the typical camaraderie and playful antics, this special may serve as a poignant viewing experience for certain viewers, symbolizing the close of a significant chapter since Hammond, Clarkson, and May are moving forward with their separate endeavors.

Although they’ve wrapped up their chaotic car adventures, The Grand Tour continues with a fresh creative team, as revealed by Hammond in a recent chat with Metro.co.uk.

He reassured the fans, “It won’t stop, it’ll keep going.” “The Grand Tour persists,” he added. “Although we are stepping down as hosts, Prime will be keeping it alive. I can hardly wait to take my seat and enjoy watching someone else at the helm. That’s fantastic!”

The announcer mentioned that he wasn’t able to verify if anyone is competing for the prominent position at this time, or if the upcoming team will bring about significant modifications to the structure.

Hammond clarified: “We’re open for conversation whenever they initiate it, definitely. However, we’re no longer the ones guiding the process. We’re choosing to step back.”

“Although our team created the show you saw, a new group will be developing a fresh production. Each team will create a show that suits their unique style.”

Hammond shared the key to their achievement, stating that he and his fellow hosts genuinely adore automobiles, a passion evident in the shows they created jointly.

Through their enthusiasm and expertise, they crafted shows that could be enjoyed by individuals not necessarily labeled as “car enthusiasts.” Interestingly enough, Hammond likened this approach to Channel 4’s The Great Pottery Throwdown, where even those unfamiliar with pottery found the show engaging.

“He shared that he’s really fond of it,” he admitted. “To be honest, I have zero interest in ceramics. I know nothing about the craft, but their enthusiasm for it is truly captivating.”
