The Grand Tour new host lineup and debut

Overview

Amazon Prime Video’s seventh season of The Grand Tour debuted on 4 September 2026, marking a new era for the series with a fresh presenting lineup. YouTubers Thomas Holland and James Engelsman of Throttle House, alongside social-media personality Francis Bourgeois, have replaced the original trio of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May.

The reboot maintains core franchise elements such as high-speed driving and automotive challenges, with the first season featuring episodes set in the Angolan desert, Malaysia, and California. While the new hosts are working to establish a distinct identity separate from their predecessors, they have received significant support from the original team.

Following a cameo at Diddly Squat Farm in the premiere episode, Jeremy Clarkson further endorsed the newcomers at the National Television Awards. Praising their automotive expertise, Clarkson stated, “I think they're fab. They couldn't have picked three better guys to take over from us,” describing the new presenters as “proper petrol heads.”
