Original Trio Returns in Grand Tour’s New Season Cameos

Exciting news for fans of The Grand Tour! The show’s co-creator, Andy Wilman, has announced that the beloved original hosts—Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May—will be popping up in the upcoming season. This revelation came during an appearance on 3Bs radio at the Buckingham Literary Festival, where Wilman expressed his enthusiasm for the new lineup.

Wilman shared, “We’ve got three guys coming soon with a new Grand Tour and we’ve got behind them. We’re really supporting them.” He added that the original trio will be appearing in cameo roles, highlighting their continued connection to the show and wishing the new hosts well as they take the spotlight.

For those who may not know, The Grand Tour first hit our screens back in late 2016 after Clarkson, Hammond, and May left the BBC following Clarkson’s controversial exit from Top Gear. Wilman played a key role in bringing this iconic trio back together for a fresh start. The new lineup of hosts was revealed earlier this year and includes motoring journalists Thomas Holland and James Engelsman from the popular YouTube channel Throttle House, as well as Francis Bourgeois, a social media sensation known for his trainspotting content.

Mark your calendars—the new six-episode season is set to premiere on Prime Video this September! Unlike Top Gear, which has struggled with a revolving door of hosts since the original trio departed, The Grand Tour’s new season will benefit from the nostalgic presence of Clarkson, Hammond, and May, albeit in limited roles.

This intriguing mix of old and new should bring a fresh perspective and keep audiences entertained. Fans are certainly eager to see how the show evolves while still honoring its roots with the original hosts. Stay tuned for what promises to be an exciting new chapter in The Grand Tour saga!
