The Grand Tour’s James May reveals his injury after a horrific bike accident – as fans shower him with support

The Grand Tour launched on Prime Video in 2016 and quickly became one of the streamer’s biggest hits as presenters Jeremy, 63, James, 60, and Richard, 52, felt it was time to move on from Top Gear to deviate and set off.

They have now brought five epic series of car adventures to the screen, each taking place in different locations and even featuring celebrity guests.

Series 1

• Series 1 aired from 2016 to 2017 and took the presenters to numerous foreign locations including Jordan, Morocco and Italy.
• The series consists of 13 episodes, with episodes 7 and 8 forming a two-part special set in Namibia, where the trio took on an epic dune buggy challenge.

Series 2

• Jeremy, Richard and James returned for more car play in Series 2, traveling around Europe while testing some of their dream vehicles such as the Bugatti Chiron and McLaren 720S.
• This series, which aired from 2017 to 2018, consists of 11 episodes. It features regular “studio segments” filmed in the team’s permanent tent in the Cotswolds and regularly featured celebrities, with each episode pitting two guests against each other on timed laps.

Series 3

• In 2019, the presenting trio crossed continents – from North America to South America to Europe and Asia – and put both new vehicles and classic sports cars through their paces.
• This series was the last to feature the regular studio segments, car reviews and timed laps.
• To mark the end of this era, the final section of the final episode features a montage of scenes showing the presenters throughout their careers as a trio, not only from this show but also from their time hosting Top Gear.

Series 4

• This series marked a complete format change for The Grand Tour, as it consists entirely of full-length specials that aired between 2019 and 2021.
• The first two chronicle Jeremy, Richard and James’ epic adventures across Asia and Africa, while the third and fourth episodes see them put foreign cars to the test in their home country. And fitting American vehicles onto Scottish roads is no easy task.

Series 5

• The fifth and final season of The Grand Tour follows the same format as Series 4 and also consists of four full-length specials.
• The first film will be released in 2022 and follows the trio on their journey through Norway, Sweden and Finland in three rally-inspired sports sedans.
• The second episode was another European adventure, while the third took the presenters back to Africa.
• The fourth part of the series and final episode of “The Grand Tour” entitled “One for the Road” will premiere on September 13, 2024. It promises to be an emotional experience as the trio sets off on an epic final adventure in Zimbabwe and reflects on their 22-year working relationship and friendship.
