The Grand Tour returns with new presenters

Published 5 September 2026

The popular motoring series The Grand Tour has returned to Prime Video with a new lineup of presenters, marking a significant shift for the show. Season seven launched on Friday, September 4, 2026, featuring James Engelsman, Thomas Holland, and Francis Bourgeois taking the reins from long-time hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond. The original trio made a brief appearance in the premiere episode, passing the baton to their successors. In a scene set at Clarkson's Diddly Squat farm, the new presenters encountered Clarkson, who humorously informed them that the show's iconic tent was no longer available, having been repurposed for his farm shop and bar. He offered a gruff but encouraging send-off, urging them not to "f it up." Clarkson later shared a photo of the handover, wishing the new team good luck. Engelsman and Holland are known for co-hosting the YouTube channel Throttle House, which has garnered a substantial following for its automotive content. Bourgeois, a social media personality, gained fame for his enthusiastic trainspotting videos and brings a unique energy to the presenting team.
