With Clarkson, Hammond, and May stepping down from The Grand Tour, can the show’s popularity continue with new presenters?
Amazon’s automotive adventure show The Grand Tour will continue without its three beloved presenters, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May.
Speaking to UK publication Metro, Hammond said The Grand Tour wasn’t going to end when the trio stepped down from their roles – confirming a rumour from April 2024.
The series was originally created for the men after they left Top Gear – with the BBC struggling to find new presenters with the same chemistry, trying out several combinations of hosts in the years since.
While Hammond admitted he wasn’t privy to any potential future hosts, he said it was up to the show’s producers to decide on whether to keep the current format.

“That's for the people who are making it to decide,” he told the Metro.
“We'll always be on hand to talk if they want to talk to us, absolutely. But it's not for us to shape it anymore. We're stepping away. We made the show that we made.”
Clarkson, Hammond, and May confirmed in late 2023 they would be finishing up on The Grand Tour.
The final episode with the trio will premiere on Amazon Prime on 13 September 2024, marking the end of a 22-year on-air partnership that began on Top Gear.
