The Grand Tour season 3: Release date and how to watch Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May's show

Buckle up and get ready for a high-speed thrill with a brand new series of The Grand Tour only on Amazon Prime.

Yes, the ex-BBC trio – Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May – are back on the streaming service with a new batch of episodes and a whole host of new adventures.

From America to China to Colombia, the third series isn’t short of laughs as the firm friends embark on the ultimate roadtrips in the name of entertainment.

Here is everything you need to know about The Grand Tour….

What happens in series 3?

The third series is all about exploring the world in the hottest cars on the market. Clarkson, Hammond and May get out and about on some on some of the trickiest terrains in the world – and with many laughs along the way.

The show takes them to Georgia, China, Detroit and, erm, Stansted Airport with three specials in Colombia, Nevada and Mongolia. The first of the specials is spread over two episodes starting next week.

Along the way, the guys step out of their cars to take on tough challenges – even battling the snow – and relax with new cultures, taking in the sights.

Any studio segments are once again in a tent, pitched in the Cotswolds, but the third series will be the final time the three bad boys of the road will be holed up in a studio.

Are there any celebrity guests?

Speaking at the launch, Clarkson and the gang revealed that the star-studded episodes are a thing of the past due to their international popularity surging, which means UK celebrities aren’t as much of an appeal.

How can I watch it?

The Grand Tour returns to Amazon Prime weekly from Friday January 18. The series consists of 14 episodes, over 13 weeks.
