Rumours that Jeremy Clarkson’s show The Grand Tour is being canned after three series may have been blown out of proportion, but the show was reportedly only ever meant to have a limited run.

While fans are loving Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond back together on the Amazon show, there aren’t any plans for it to run as long as their old stomping ground Top Gear.

‘The whole thing is a huge storm in a teacup. There were only ever plans for three seasons, and the guys have only just finished filming the special episode that’s coming out between season two and season three, so they aren’t even in pre-production for series three yet, let alone series four,’ an insider told Metro.co.uk.



‘Driving around the world for 12 hours a day, with brutal filming schedule often in far flung destinations and arid deserts isn’t easy. They can’t do it forever!’


Recently Jeremy rubbished reports his show had been axed as ‘inaccurate’.

He told The Daily Star: ‘All I will say for now is that, as usual, the reports are inaccurate.

Jeremy, 57, also said it would be ‘hilarious’ if anyone believed ‘the f*****g stories’ about his show being canned.

His comments come after a source close to the show told Mail On Sunday that ‘there is nothing to suggest they are going to do another [series].

‘No one has signed anything and employees are wondering where everyone will go once filming wraps.’

Grand Tour producer Andy Wilman also revealed that the team are ‘focusing on series three at the moment.’

Over the past three years, Grand Tour has brought in a staggering £100million for Amazon and has been one of the biggest shows for the TV service.

Amazon declined to comment.
