Could We See the Final Season of The Grand Tour?
This racing show took the basic principles of Top Gear and applied them to locations all around the world — with a significantly increased budget. The show featured tons of incredibly famous celebrities and several cars (and other vehicles) that were likely more valuable than the plane the crew flew in on. The show did incredibly well, and although the public retained a love/hate relationship with Clarkson, his popularity didn’t seem to suffer.
Although Prime Video declined to comment on the state of the show, as Variety’s exclusive report understands it, this will be The Grand Tour’s final set of episodes. And although you can expect the streamer to finish out the season, chances are Clarkson will have to find another racetrack, yet again.
“It also means that motoring format “The Grand Tour,” one of Prime Video’s biggest shows, will also come to an end. Variety understands the series will conclude after four more special episodes — the last of which is expected to land in late 2024.”
Clarkson’s Farm May End With Three Seasons
Prime Video
Clarkson’s Farm premiered in 2021 with outstanding reviews and audience ratings. Clarkson had purchased a 1,000-acre farm and began to cultivate the land with wheat, herds of sheep, and all manner of things that he didn’t have the education for. The show quickly became a comedy of errors, and the people he hired to help him run the farm served as stand-ins, shaking their heads while the audience was surely doing the same at home. People seemed to enjoy watching Clarkson mess things up from time to time. As the television show host became more and more certain that this is where he would retire, audiences became more excited about the show. At the end of the first season, when Clarkson opened his farm’s roadside shop, the line for his wares went down the road.
He might find a new home for his programs like he did last time. But other stations will probably be much more cautious to pick him up, considering that this is the second time in Clarkson’s career he’s been dismissed for unconscionable behavior. Fans are still waiting for the results of this statement, and whether his co-hosts will follow him away from the shows again.
