New Grand Tour Hosts Revealed: Social Media Stars Take Over!

The Grand Tour on Amazon Prime Video has officially confirmed a new presenting team, ushering in an era of social media stars. YouTubers Thomas Holland and James Engelsman, along with TikTok sensation Francis Bourgeois, will take the reins from original hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond. The decision for the original trio to depart, as stated by Clarkson, was due to them becoming 'unfit, fat and old' and running out of fresh concepts after years on air.

The upcoming six-part series will feature the new trio traversing difficult landscapes in diverse vehicles. Holland and Engelsman are known for their YouTube car review show 'Throttle House,' boasting over 3.2 million subscribers. Bourgeois, whose real name is Luke Magnus Nicolson, gained fame for his trainspotting videos and has amassed millions of followers across social media platforms. He has even met royal fans, including the Prince and Princess of Wales.

The previous hosts concluded their tenure with The Grand Tour in September 2024, after a successful run since 2016. Their departure marked the end of an extended period working together, which began over two decades ago on Top Gear. The original series explored various global destinations and manufacturers. Meanwhile, Clarkson has appeared on 'Car SOS,' and Hammond and May revisited their old Top Gear studio, reflecting on their time there.
