Prime Video has released the trailer for the new series of The Grand Tour, confirming a September 4 launch date with all six episodes dropping at once. The series streams exclusively on Prime Video and rolls out globally across more than 240 countries and territories.
Taking over presenting duties are Francis Bourgeois, the trainspotter and mechanical engineer who built a following on social media before moving into car content, alongside James Engelsman and Thomas Holland of the YouTube channel Throttle House. Holland launched Throttle House in 2015 and works as a motoring journalist and amateur racing driver, with Engelsman joining a few years later. The channel draws roughly 75 million viewers annually.
Filming took the trio to Angola, where they crossed the desert in track cars, and to Malaysia to cover the country’s car culture. In California they tested current American performance cars, and other segments include an attempt to cross Colorado undetected in three Japanese microcars, a search for the most unbreakable car in history, and a bit involving Formula 1 driver Alex Albon and a Pagani hypercar. Studio Lambert produces the series.
Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May all make guest appearances, as does 2009 Formula 1 world champion Jenson Button. This is the first series of The Grand Tour without the three original hosts, who finished their run with “One for the Road,” released on September 13, 2024, and filmed in Zimbabwe and Botswana. That episode closed out a 22-year presenting partnership that also covered their time on Top Gear.
The new lineup was confirmed in February 2026, with the series marking the seventh for the show since it launched in 2016.
