Prime Video has confirmed that The Grand Tour will return for a seventh season on 4 September, with a completely new line-up of hosts. The streaming giant announced the release date on Instagram, tagging the show’s latest recruits: Francis Bourgeois, James Engelsman and Thomas Holland. They replace Top Gear legends Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, who bid farewell to the show after the previous season.
New Adventures Across the Globe
According to Prime Video, the new hosts will take on a series of extreme challenges. They will be “crossing the Angolan desert in track cars,” “exploring Malaysia’s vibrant car culture,” and “heading to California to test America’s latest and greatest performance cars.” The trio will also challenge “fighter pilots and even an entire nation’s legal system.”
Hosts Tease What’s to Come
Ahead of their debut, the new presenters shared their experiences. Francis Bourgeois said: “Since completing the filming of the series, I haven't stopped replaying every moment in my head. It has made me laugh, made my heart race and my stomach turn… remembering the tent I shared with Thomas and James filled with sulphuric farts whilst Angolan jackals snooped around outside. It feels as though it was a dream but knowing we will get to share our adventures soon makes me so incredibly excited!”
James Engelsman added: “We took on the West African Desert. We contended with fighter pilots. We even decided to challenge an entire nation's legal system by protesting from the mountain tops. In doing so, the three of us learned our true strength: How to accept defeat gracefully.”
Thomas Holland noted: “I figured someone would be there to hold our hand the whole time. Nope. We were on our own in some absolutely wild environments in very, VERY questionable cars. What did we learn from this experience? Only that we have very poor decision-making skills. When you watch in September, expect a good laugh. And maybe a few butt clenches...”
Season 7 Release Date
Season seven of The Grand Tour will land on Prime Video on 4 September.
