After Jeremy Clarkson’s controversial exit from the popular motor show Top Gear, the ex-host along with Richard Hammond and James May is coming back with the new show on November 18. The team has already shot an episode in Johannesburg but the very first episode is slated to be filmed in California later this month.

The first episode of the show will be 70-minutes long and producer Andy Wilman has got his way of the show being aired weekly, rather than all released at once like many other online shows.
And fans of awkward scripted banter will be delighted to learn Clarkson, May and Hammond have committed to three series of the show as part of a “landmark global TV deal”.
Top Gear fans still miss Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, especially since their replacements aren’t ready to turn the BBC show into something of their own.
To tie in with the launch date announcement, Amazon has put a 30-second teaser on YouTube.
The tent, apparently Jeremy’s idea, travels with the show and takes two to three days to put up. It differs from Top Gear in that it is being filmed in different locations around the world. If true, it’s sure to be another cruel blow for the BBC’s re-vamped “Top Gear”, which was ridiculed earlier this summer for its string of minor guest stars while Chris Evans and Matt LeBlanc were presenting it.

Both options offer a month’s free trial, however due to the fact that The Grand Tour will be released weekly, viewers won’t be able to watch the full series on the month’s free trial.
