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.
