The Grand Tour series 3: All you need to know
Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond return for a third season The Grand Tour, here’s everything you need to know.
Since its announcement back in 2016, The Grand Tour has always drawn the attention of petrolheads around the world with Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May at the helm.
The Amazon Prime show is entering its third series, following on from the positively-received second season and will likely come with the same hijinks as in the first two sets of episodes.
But what do we know about the upcoming season 3, and what is likely to happen? We take a look..
When will it be televised?
A date hasn’t officially been confirmed for when the first episode will be aired, but if the first two series are anything to go by, episode 1 is likely to be available to stream around the end of November or start of December.
Filming has been underway for some time, with Jeremy Clarkson revealing that in a tweet back in March.
What will Clarkson, Hammond and May get up to?
The Grand Tour’s Twitter page has been giving hints as to what will be included in the third season, with one post depicting Clarkson dressed as a traffic warden as well as various posts of the team in China and Mongolia. As usual, what will be happening in these locations has been kept secret, so we won’t really know what the trio have been up to until the programme has aired.
How many episodes will there be?
When The Grand Tour was announced back in 2016, the contract stated that 36 episodes would be commissioned over the three initial series. Season 1 had 12 episodes and Season 2 had 12, so if our maths is correct that leaves 12 shows for the third series. Each episode will be released on 12 consecutive Fridays and will be available to stream on Amazon Prime.
What other GT news is there?
In conjunction with the start of Season 3, Amazon and The Grand Tour has announced an all-new video game that will allow fans to rerun the challenges in the show, as well as race against each other.
After every new episode in season 3, new challenges, races and locations will become available to gamers – with exclusive content from the show also being shared. Iconic shows from the first two series will also be included, such as the iconic ‘Holy Trinity’ test from the programme’s first episode that pitted the McLaren P1, Porsche 918 and Ferrari LaFerrari against each other.
It will be
available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 when the show comes to air.
Although we are still a fair amount of time from the start of the third series, excitement is building for what the next season of the show has to offer – especially as further episodes beyond the current run are yet to be confirmed.
This potentially could be the last series of the show, which makes the upcoming run all the more interesting.

Hope I can see it before new year.
absolutely
Can not wait !
You´re wrong about the episodes. If you read and listened carefully to all the interviews the presenters and producer did you know they only produced 12 episodes in season 1. It was the decision of Amazon to cut the Beach Buggy Special in two parts. Therefor the Colombia special is an episode from Season 2. I expect it to be available prior to the start of Season 3 as a kind of warming up.
Cheers! I've changed that now :)
They work so hard! When Series 3 comes out, I will treasure each episode 🙂
