The Grand Tour is a British motoring television series for Amazon Video, presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, and produced by Andy Wilman.
The four agreed to produce the series following their departures from the BBC series Top Gear with an initial agreement of 36 episodes over three years. Episodes are released weekly to those with Amazon Prime Video accounts, repeats of the first series began airing on traditional broadcasters in late 2017. As of December 2016 the show was made available to an additional 195 countries and various territories. Studio audience segments for the first series were filmed in the travelling tent between 17 July and 11 December 2016 in various countries, while for the second series the tent was stationed permanently in the Cotswolds. Series one was filmed over the course of mid- to late 2016 and premiered on 18 November 2016. Series two was filmed over the same time period the following year; however, filming was set back due to various illnesses and injuries suffered by the presenters. Due to this, it premiered on 8 December 2017.
In the days following the launch, “The Holy Trinity” became Amazon Video’s most watched premiere episode. Overall, the show has received positive reviews from critics.

Amazon has announced that Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are bringing hi-jinks and hot wheels to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in The Grand Tour Game.
Billed as an episodic racing game based on the hit Prime Original series, the new title puts players behind the wheel of the cars from season three.
It will also feature iconic locations from the show, including The Grand Tour‘s signature Eboladrome test track.
“It’s a video game featuring me, the crashy one, and the slow one. That’s all you need to know,” said Jeremy Clarkson.
“If you’ve always wanted to come on the road with us, this is as close as you’ll ever get. Unless you kidnap James and steal his face.”
“If you’ve ever wanted to do my job, now you can,” added James May.
“Obviously not literally, it’s just a game, so please don’t go through the drawers of my desk.”
