Fans of The Grand Tour are feeling emotional after Amazon confirmed that the long-running motoring series, starring Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, is coming to an end. The trio, who first became famous on Top Gear, have been entertaining viewers with their adventures for 22 years. The final episode, titled “One for the Road,” is set to air on September 13, 2024, on Prime Video, marking the end of an era for the popular show.
The promotional trailer for the finale, set to the song “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” by The Hollies, features the trio embarking on one last adventure through a vast, desert-like landscape. In the episode, Clarkson, Hammond, and May travel to Zimbabwe in three of their dream cars: a Lancia Montecarlo, a Ford Capri 3-litre, and a Triumph Stag. The journey promises to be both beautiful and challenging, culminating in an emotional ending on a familiar island.
Fans have taken to social media to express their sadness over the show’s conclusion. Many shared how the chemistry between the three presenters made the show enjoyable, even for those who weren’t car enthusiasts.
