With the first episode of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May’s post-Top Gear show The Grand Tour breaking records on Amazon, excitement for the second episode is palpable.
So far, The Grand Tour has received rave reviews across the board, including The Independent’s which labeled the show “Top Gear with a bigger budget.”
‘Operation Desert Stumble’ takes the trio’s new portable studio to Johannesburg, South Africa, another exotic location following the desert of California.
In a recent interview, Netflix boss Ted Sarandos revealed how much Amazon paid for the right to stream The Grand Tour: originally, it was believed to have cost the company upwards of $160 million yet Sarandos claims it cost “a quarter of a billion dollars”.
