The final ever episode of “ The Grand Tour ” is almost here and Prime Video is giving fans a sneak peak of what to expect — and when.

“The Grand Tour: One for the Road,” a one-off special representing the conclusion of the long-running series, is set to launch on Sept. 13 on the streamer in over 240 countries. Producer Andy Wilman unveiled a first-look image (see above) and release date at the Edinburgh TV Festival , where he is appearing on a panel.

It will see Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May reunite on a final road trip.

The trio then landed at Prime, where they continued their motoring adventures on “The Grand Tour.” In a podcast interview earlier this summer, May reflected on their decades-long journey. “I recorded today the last piece of voice-over I will ever record for ‘The Grand Tour’ – and therefore in that whole legacy of ‘Grand Tour,’ ‘Top Gear’ and the few things I did before that,” he said. “We’ve done it for nearly 22 years – a lot longer than we thought we would. I thought, when I started doing it in 2003 or 2004, that this was a bit of a laugh. Maybe it’ll last a few years. And, here we are, grey and wizened and sagging. And we’ve only just stopped doing it. It’s quite remarkable.”

After five action-packed seasons, 41 countries, and 187 cars, The Grand Tour is coming to an end, with the final feature-length episode premiering on Prime Video on 13 September .

In the special episode, titled The Grand Tour: One For The Road , Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May head to Zimbabwe in three cars they’ve always wanted to own: a Lancia Montecarlo, a Ford Capri 3-litre, and a Triumph Stag. As they embark on a stunning road trip through Zimbabwe, they say an emotional farewell to their lives together on The Grand Tour .

Clarkson, Hammond, and May spoke about their favourite memories from the series, along with how they chose the cars for their final adventure, and why they wanted the last episode to be a “thank you” to the fans.

How did you come up with the location for the final episode?

Jeremy Clarkson: Although we’ve done some very memorable and very enjoyable specials over the years – like the Middle East and Mongolia ( The Mongolia Special – Survival of the Fattest, 2019 ), and a number of others – the three of us have always agreed that Botswana was our favourite special, probably because it was our first, and so there is nostalgia to that.

Richard Hammond: We knew we wanted to end up on Kubu Island. Beyond that, I think we may have benefited a bit from the experience of making shows through lockdown. We had to strip it back a bit, and it made us think, “Okay, the big bangs and stuff are great, but hang on a minute, let's remember what's at the heart of this show.” And so that was to the fore when we came to say goodbye.

How did you choose the cars?

Jeremy Clarkson: The premise of the original Botswana film was: why, when you leave London and move to Surrey, do you always buy yourself a 4x4? You don’t need one. To prove this, we decided to drive three perfectly ordinary cars across Botswana. I've always liked the premise that cars are much tougher than you think they are. They can take so much punishment; people don't believe how much their car can take before it expires.

So, we did a similar thing this time: the three that we took to Zimbabwe were, on the face of it, ridiculous, but as you can see in the film, they survive. The concept was just driving cars we liked.

James May: I said all along we mustn’t play it for gags, we must have things that we’re genuinely curious about and always wanted. That's always risky with things like cars because inevitably, there's a car you really loved as a kid, but when you get it, it’s crap because it’s 40 or 50 years old.

So, it was a bit risky, but we had to be genuinely invested in our choices because we're not actors. We can't pretend to love things. I know Jeremy's story about looking through the dealership window longingly at the Lancia as a young man is true because I used to go past the same place, and I know exactly what he's talking about.

I had a friend whose parents had a Triumph Stag when I was a kid, and I just thought they seemed amazing. The Stag has a reputation as one of the most unreliable cars ever made but weirdly on this, it kept going all the way through.

Did it feel emotional to film the finale?

Richard Hammond: Not just for the three of us but the entire group. We've worked together for decades and we've been through good times and bad. We've seen each other in jungles covered in leeches, exhausted and grumpy in tents and boiling heat, elated in the most beautiful cities in the world. We’re a great big dysfunctional family, so there were a lot of tears.

Jeremy Clarkson: I'm not saying this in a derogatory way by any means, but James has the emotions of a stone. He just doesn't do emotions, so there were no tears from him. Hammond, yes. I was surprisingly unemotional in a weird way because I can see James and Hammond any time I want to, they’re only a phone call away, and I’m sure we will. And I’ve done enough of the travel, I was worn out by it.

Where I would have been emotional was saying goodbye to the crew because most of them started with us. There's a photograph taken on Kubu Island of Russ Edwards and Casper Leaver (Camera Operator) and Andy Wilman (Executive Producer), who were there on the original crew, and they're still with us. You can’t say that about any other show.

What did you want to achieve with the final film?

James May: I remember saying in an early meeting that it was important that we actually genuinely enjoyed our cars and didn't allow it to descend into too much bickering or aggressive pranking of each other. I also didn't want to be too introverted, emotional or navel-gazing; it had to be joyous. We had to come together and acknowledge our shared enthusiasm. It's quite a tricky balance to strike, I think because it's in our nature to be horrible about each other. And there are a few moments like that, like when I say, “I’m deleting their numbers from my phone” as soon as it’s over. That’s us being quite British and undermining our own feelings, which I think is the right thing to do because that’s genuinely us.

Richard Hammond: We wanted to say “thank you” to the audience. This is the biggest thing to happen in my life ever. It changed my life, it affected my daughters’ lives, my whole family, everything. And that's down to the audience.

I think you will see that this is each of us genuinely saying “thank you”, and the way Andy Wilman put that together – he’s the master behind it. Andy Wilman didn't want it to end on exploding things; he wanted it to be sincere. You don't put on a comedy clown suit to say “thank you”, do you?

What have been the highlights from ‘The Grand Tour’ journey?

Jeremy Clarkson: I have always loved driving into an African city. There’s a buzz in African cities that you don’t get anywhere else. Harare — wow, what a singing, melting pot of busyness and joy that was. Kampala’s the same.

I think the most surprising location in all the years was Mongolia (The Mongolia Special – Survival of the Fattest, 2019). That was incredibly beautiful. It’s carpeted – and I mean completely carpeted – by thyme, rosemary and sage. As you drive along, you just get the smell all day, constantly. And then we drove into a pine forest, and I can still remember that. Mongolia was the nicest smelling country I've ever been to, and the terrain is also visually stunning. For six days, we drove in pretty much a dead straight line, and we never saw a cloud in the sky, a farm animal, a person, a telegraph pole or a pylon – there was simply no evidence that man had ever existed.

Richard Hammond: We’ve always loved Africa, waking up in jungles. I remember in Syria in the desert, we were all staying in this massive tent with about 50 of us, and it was boiling, and I was like, “sod this” so James and I grabbed our gear and decided to sleep in the desert instead. Unfortunately, the incredibly strong and mind-numbingly cold wind shot straight into the sleeping bags. It was just the worst night. We were freezing to death.

There were lots of nights like that. Or I remember lying in a tent in Bolivia at about 35 degrees, full of cockroaches that kept me awake all night. And if it wasn’t the cockroaches, it was the drug runners on mopeds going up and down the dirt track passes.

I remember chasing one of Pablo Escobar’s hippos when we were drunk late at night, trying to get a picture on my phone before thinking, “Hippos are quite dangerous; I probably shouldn’t be doing this.” Lots of stupid, wonderful, privileged moments.

James May: I remember in Chile – or maybe Argentina – staying in a shepherd's hut with simple embroidered bedspreads. I shared a room with Hammond, and it was like an adventure from childhood. It was like going to a holiday cottage somewhere, and it was really brilliant. We did some awful camping all over the world, but it was still quite exciting waking up in the desert or in a rainforest. I wouldn’t have done that were it not for the show.

What we've just done, going across Zimbabwe and into Botswana, I don't know if you could even organise that as a holiday. You could probably pay a posh holiday agent to put that together for you, but it would be extremely expensive, so I’ve seen a lot of places that I simply wouldn’t have done if it hadn't been part of my work.

I’ve thought constantly over the years, “How the hell did this happen?” It really is an enormous privilege, or an enormous stroke of luck, however you want to look at it. Being able to do that and making a living out of it whilst being on the telly and going to foreign places, that blew my mind – it still staggers me.

Jeremy Clarkson Confirms The Grand Tour’s Final Episode on Amazon Prime

TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson has confirmed the end of The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime after next year. This announcement marks the conclusion of a series beloved by fans since its inception in 2016.

Key Takeaways:

• End of The Grand Tour: Jeremy Clarkson, along with co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May , will no longer film new series of The Grand Tour after next year, following a decision by Amazon Prime’s executives. This marks the end of a popular show that started in 2016 and quickly garnered a devoted fanbase.
• Fan Reactions and Future Prospects: Fans expressed their disappointment and gratitude on social media, reflecting on the impact the show had on their lives. Despite the end of this era, there’s speculation that Amazon Prime may revive The Grand Tour with new hosts, a move reportedly welcomed by the current presenters.
• Clarkson’s Future Endeavours: Clarkson mentioned a focus on his other project, ‘Clarkson’s Farm’, and there are two more special episodes of The Grand Tour slated for release, featuring travels to Mauritania and Zimbabwe.

TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson, renowned for his role in the popular car show The Grand Tour alongside Richard Hammond and James May, has recently spoken about the future of the series. The show, which began on Amazon Prime in 2016, has been a fan favourite but will see no further series after next year. This decision, made by the streaming platform’s bosses, brings an end to a series that has been both entertaining and influential for car enthusiasts.

Clarkson shared his thoughts on Instagram, stating:

“Been a busy day. No more Grand Tour after next year but a LOT more Clarkson’s Farm. Which, this evening, is looking extremely lovely.”

This post quickly became a hub for fans to express their feelings about the series ending. The emotional reactions ranged from sadness over the show’s conclusion to appreciation for the years of entertainment it provided.

One fan commented:

“Please start a podcast with the three of you, it can just be called the news and you rant for an hour about cars.”

Others expressed their gratitude:

“The end of Clarkson, Hammond and May in whatever it’s called is a sad day. Thank you for everything you did for petrolheads. And now farmheads!”

The influence of the trio was evident in another fan’s words:

“It’s really nice coming to the comments and seeing how these 3 impacted the lives of so many. These lads got me through countless dark times with laughter and endless banter. We all knew the day was coming, and the truest of fans will wish you, Hammond, May, and indeed all of the crew that made the magic happen the absolute best in the next stage. Thank you for inspiring countless enthusiasts around the world.”

Despite Clarkson’s announcement, there’s talk that Amazon Prime might continue The Grand Tour with new hosts. An insider revealed:

“It’s a surprising decision and everyone realises it very much marks the end of an era for the three presenters.”

This potential revival aligns with the presenters’ acceptance of passing the torch to a new generation.

“The Grand Tour is one of Prime Video’s most watched shows and Jeremy, James and Richard have a devoted following. But the guys have made no bones about the fact they’re all advancing in years and they have lots of other projects to pursue,” a source informed The Sun. “They just felt like the time was right and wanted to go out on a high when the show remained popular.”

As fans prepare to bid farewell to this iconic trio, they can look forward to two more special episodes of The Grand Tour, showcasing the team’s adventures in Mauritania and Zimbabwe. This farewell follows their departure from Top Gear in 2015, after a disagreement with producers.

Clarkson, hammond and may explain why they're leaving the grand tour.

We’re less than two weeks away from saying an emotional farewell to nearly 22 years of automotive TV hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, as the final episode of The Grand Tour (or the final episode hosted by them , at least), One For The Road, is launching on 13 September.

Now, in preparation for the episode, the trio, as well as long-time producer Andy Wilman, have gone into a bit more detail on why they felt the time was right to bring the show to a close.

Earlier this year, Clarkson spoke to The Times , explaining that filming the show is “immensely physical… when you’re unfit and fat and old, which I am.” He specifically mentioned camping in the Sahara Desert during the production of recent episode Sand Job as a particularly brutal experience:  “If you’re Bear Grylls you go to a hotel – there aren’t any hotels in the Sahara.”

Clarkson has now doubled down on that ahead of One For The Road, calling the show’s production “a young man’s game.” He also explains that the show is running out of new places to visit and things to do:

“We’ve done everything you can realistically do with a car, and the world has shrunk and that’s the tragedy. Years ago, we drove from Iraq into eastern Turkey into Syria, Damascus and Israel. We did the Crimea to Ukraine. You couldn’t do any of that now.”

Hammond, meanwhile, reflected on the process of bringing this iteration of the show, and the trio’s working relationship, to an end: “The way in which [Top Gear and The Grand Tour] took off was kind of beyond all of us. The only thing we could control was how and when and where we landed it.

“We wanted to say ‘thank you’ to the audience. This is the biggest thing to happen in my life ever. It changed my life, it affected my daughters’ lives, my whole family, everything. And that’s down to the audience.”

May chimed in on why the time felt right to end things: “I’ve always said that if it ends tomorrow, which it nearly did at one point, that I should just be grateful that I had the opportunity… But it didn’t end, it kept going. In the end, we got to the point where we said, ‘No, we must stop while we’re still vaguely ahead. We mustn't keep going until we embarrass ourselves.’”

Andy Wilman, who has acted as producer alongside the trio ever since Top Gear’s 2002 reboot, also reflected on why they’ve decided to end things now, explaining that things were nearly brought to an end after the three studio-based series of The Grand Tour:

“We came to an agreement with Prime Video where we’d just do the specials as we knew that the big cinematic adventures were what our fans loved… We could keep some kind of quality control in place by doing fewer things.

“We’re lucky that we’ve been able to control our destiny. We are now calling it a day on our own terms, and not many shows get to do that. Most of the time, you want to carry on, and you get told, ‘We don’t want you anymore.’”

Grand Tour's final episode with the iconic trio airs September 13

T he latest episode of "The Grand Tour" featuring Hammond, May, and Clarkson will be released on September 13. It's the end of an era, although—as Richard Hammond claims—not the end of the show itself.

It has been known for some time that the iconic trio is parting ways with "The Grand Tour." On September 13, the final farewell episode of the show with the British presenters will be aired. However, Amazon plans to continue the show in the future.

"It will be carrying on," says Richard Hammond in a "Metro" magazine interview. "We’re stepping away as the hosts, but Prime will be continuing it. So I can’t wait to sit on my own chair and watch somebody else do it. That’s amazing," he adds.

It is currently unknown who Amazon plans to replace the legendary presenters explicitly. However, it is known that it won't be easy. It is worth noting that it was similar to "Top Gear," in which other hosts replaced May, Hammond, and Clarkson.

Unfortunately, the new version of the show didn't enjoy the same popularity as the original. So much so that the BBC finally decided to take the program off the air.

Richard Hammond has spoken about the future of The Grand Tour after ending his TV partnership with Jeremy Clarkson and James May .

The former Top Gear trio began presenting the show in 2016 and have worked on the show for five seasons and 46 episodes in total.

Fans of the series may have feared that the show would be leaving their screens for good when the final episode debuts on 13 September but Hammond has now quashed those concerns.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk , the presenter has revealed the show will be “carrying on.”

He said: “ The Grand Tour continues. We’re stepping away as the hosts, but Prime will be continuing it.”

Hamond then jokingly added: “So I can’t wait to sit on my own chair and watch somebody else do it. That’s amazing.”

The TV star admitted that he didn’t know who the new presenters would be but did share some advice with his successors. “If you’re making any show that at its heart has a subject, whether it’s cooking, dancing or cars, the hosts, the primary makers of it, have to have that passion in their heart. And we always did,” said the 54-year-old.

Clarkson, Hammond and May’s 22-year journey of working together, across both Top Gear and The Grand Tour , comes to an end later this month with an episode called ‘One For The Road’ which was filmed in Zimbabwe and Botswana . The episode will reportedly end on Kubu Island, which the gang visited as part of a Top Gear special in 2007.

Meanwhile, Clarkson , who is currently enjoying the biggest success of his career with Clarkson’s Farm , has reflected on why he decided to cut professional ties with both Hammond and May.

‘After 36 years of talking about cars on television, I’m packing it in, because I’m too old and fat to get into the cars that I like and not interested in driving those I don’t,” he said in a new interview with The Sunday Times .

“What this means of course is that my 22-year partnership with James May and Richard Hammond is now over. You can see our final road trip together on Amazon Prime very soon. It’s emotional.”

Clarkson said the trio had “thought long and hard about how we should end our 22-year partnership, but in the end we just went to the end of the alphabet” and selected Zimbabwe as a place to set the special.

“There was another reason why we chose Zimbabwe, though,” he continued, revealing: “We would drive across it from east to west, as usual, but then we could cross the border and finish up where we began all those years ago: the Makgadikgadi salt pans in Botswana.”

"It will be carrying on," he says. " The Grand Tour continues. We're stepping away as the hosts, but Prime will be continuing it. So I can't wait to sit on my own chair and watch somebody else do it. That's amazing."

Hammond admits he doesn't know the identity of the new presenters, but revealed the key factor he thinks they'll need in order for the show to continue being a success.

"If you're making any show that at its heart has a subject, whether it's cooking, dancing or cars, the hosts, the primary makers of it, have to have that passion in their heart. And we always did," he said.

"You never had to be a car geek to watch our show. Plenty of people who weren't did watch it, but it was important that we were the car geeks."

Hammond, Clarkson and May have worked together as a presenting trio for over two decades, with the three of them co-hosting BBC car show Top Gear from 2002 to 2015, before moving to Prime Video and launching The Grand Tour in 2016.

Their final episode - set in Zimbabwe - was filmed in September 2023, but Hammond admits that the show ending hasn't sunk in yet for him.

Asked what viewers can expect from the upcoming finale, he said: "It's a very honest and heartfelt goodbye and thank you from us. Don't expect big bangs and crashes. It's actually quite simple.

"It's quite a sincere thank you for making it possible for us to have such an incredible time over the last two decades together."

The Grand Tour: One For The Road will be released on Prime Video on September 13. All five seasons are available to stream now.

Nate Bargatze is going primetime.

The world’s top earning comic, according to Pollstar, has signed on to do his first primetime special, an hour-long, holiday-themed variety show for CBS . Lorne Michaels and his Broadway Video are on board as producers of the hour, which will roll out in December and also stream on Paramount+.

While many of the details are being kept under wraps, Bargatze intends to film the special Nov. 21 at the iconic Grand Ole Opry, where he got his start in comedy as an entry-level employee. On this night, Bargatze will serve as master of ceremonies, as he guides the in-house audience and viewers at home through a mix of stand-up, sketch, pre-taped bits and musical performances.

The announcement comes as Bargatze continues to expand his footprint beyond standup , unveiling Nateland Entertainment, his family friendly content company, in 2023. The company is expected to produce standup specials as well as scripted fare across film, TV, podcasts and music. Of course, it’s worth noting, Bargatze’s monstrous success is relatively new, but his efforts to parlay his brand of comedy into other arenas are not. In fact, a decade ago, he developed his act into an NBC sitcom with the help of Jimmy Fallon, but the network ultimately passed.

The news arrives as comedy specials continue to be a red-hot market , with many describing it as a rare bright spot in an otherwise bleak entertainment landscape. This one will be exec produced by Michaels, Bargatze, Erin David and Andrew Singer of Broadway Video as well as Tim Sarkes and Alex Murray of Brillstein Entertainment. Bargatze’s next hour of traditional standup will stream on Netflix .
