Overview
- Prime Video has installed social media personality Francis Bourgeois with Throttle House’s James Engelsman and Thomas Holland as the new presenting trio.
- Filming and editing are underway on a six-episode season expected later in 2026 with a global launch in more than 240 countries.
- Speaking on Autocar’s podcast, Clarkson said the show will feel different but called the new presenters “bloody funny” and confirmed he is not involved.
- He added that executive producer Andy Wilman is participating to some degree, while long-time scriptwriter Richard Porter is not part of the reboot.
- Fan pushback online has been notable, even as Prime Video executive Tara Erer praised the choices and said the team had “struck gold.”
