Grand Tour series ends

AMAZON won’t be renewing the contracts for Clarkson’s Farm and the Grand Tour when the current series comes to an end according to a US entertainment site.

It is understood that once the current commissions run out Jeremy Clarkson won’t be rehired to do any more work for the video streaming site following his statements in a UK newspaper regarding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Although there has been no official confirmation from Amazon, however, a virtual press conference on Monday January 16 to promote Clarkson’s Farm was cancelled.

With the fallout from his newspaper column yet to settle down, Clarkson has “fuelled the fire” by writing to Prince Harry only. The couple said that he had failed to address them both in his email, which many believe was a cop ­ out when he should have done the mature thing and picked up the phone.

Clarkson’s current commissions with Amazon will see his show continue into 2024, but privately the company is saying it will no longer use him or his series in the future.
