New Grand Tour Hosts Premiere on Prime Video September 4

The new season of The Grand Tour will premiere on Prime Video on September 4, 2026, marking a new chapter for the motoring show with a trio of fresh faces replacing the iconic original hosts. Francis Bourgeois, Thomas Holland, and James Engelsman take the wheel as the series returns, following the departure of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. Bourgeois, a 26-year-old social media star renowned for his viral trainspotting videos, expressed that the support from his predecessors has been transformative. Speaking at a London premiere event, he said the guidance from Clarkson, Hammond, and May was an "absolute superpower," noting they were "warm and open" and offered their blessing for the new era. This endorsement appears to have been crucial for the incoming team, with Holland describing May's advice as simple but effective: "Don't ask me just do your thing." He compared the sentiment to wisdom from "Yoda." The new hosts aim to establish their own dynamic rather than directly imitating the old one.
