The final episode of The Grand Tour is just around the corner, and Prime Video is offering fans a sneak peek at what to expect before the big day. Titled The Grand Tour: One for the Road, this one-off special marks the conclusion of the beloved series and is set to premiere on September 13. Fans can anticipate an emotional ending as the iconic trio—Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May—reunite for one last adventure on the road.
The news of the show’s finale has left many fans heartbroken, especially after it was announced last year that the three hosts would be bowing out after eight years of high-octane entertainment. Since its launch in 2016, The Grand Tour quickly became one of Prime Video’s biggest hits, captivating audiences worldwide with its unique blend of humor, camaraderie, and thrilling car challenges. Now, as the series prepares to take its final bow, fans are eagerly awaiting this last ride with the motoring legends.
The official synopsis reads, “Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May ignore the instructions of Mr Wilman and head to Zimbabwe in three cars they’ve always wanted to own, a Lancia Montecarlo, a Ford Capri 3-litre, and a Triumph Stag, for a stunning road trip through beautiful and sometimes challenging landscapes leading to an emotional ending on a strangely familiar island.”
The Grand Tour was born when Clarkson, Hammond, and May joined forces after their departure from the BBC’s iconic motoring show, Top Gear. Clarkson, who had revitalized Top Gear in 2002, was dismissed from the show following an altercation in which he punched a producer. In solidarity with their longtime co-host, Hammond and May soon left the show as well, leading the trio to embark on a new adventure with The Grand Tour.
In an interview with The Times, Clarkson discussed the decision to end The Grand Tour, citing the physical demands of the show as a key reason. He acknowledged that the intense travel and rigorous filming schedule had become increasingly challenging, ultimately contributing to the trio’s choice to bring the beloved series to a close.
“I’ve driven cars higher than anyone else and further north than anyone else. We’ve done everything you can do with a car. If you’re Bear Grylls you go to a hotel – there aren’t any hotels in the Sahara. [The show] is immensely physical… when you’re unfit and fat and old, which I am, it makes some parts like camping, a stretch.”
