Jeremy Clarkson has addressed his The Grand Tour exit, after it was claimed he had finished filming a finale with Richard Hammond and James May.
It was reported on Wednesday that the trio, who first hit our screens together in 2003 on Top Gear, were leaving the Amazon Prime Video show, with a final special from their travels in Zimbabwe to launch next year.
And the 63-year-old has now addressed the news, writing on Instagram: ‘Been a busy day.
‘No more Grand Tour after next year but a LOT more Clarkson’s Farm. Which, this evening, is looking extremely lovely.’
His post was flooded with fans devastated at the news The Grand Tour would be ending, with one writing: ‘Please start a podcast with the three of you, it can just be called the news and you rant for an hour about cars.’
Someone else proposed: ‘Can James and Richard join you on a special episode of Clarkson’s farm?!?’
Options, however, are being explored for the future of a new The Grand Tour although no projects have yet to be given the greenlight.
This comes after Amazon revealed it has commissioned Clarkson’s Farm for a fourth season after its future was questioned over vile remarks Clarkson made about Meghan Markle.
The streaming platform’s head of unscripted in the UK, Fozia Khan, confirmed another series was in the works at TV business conference Content London, held in venues in King’s Cross, today.
She added that shooting will begin on season 4 ‘very soon’, while season 3 has wrapped and is expected to premiere on Prime Video next year, according to Deadline.
Rumours Clarkson’s Farm had been renewed began when it was reported Amazon and Clarkson, 63, had entered talks after the streamer had reportedly ‘cut ties’ with the broadcaster over his column about the Duchess of Sussex, 42.
Clarkson later apologised for the piece, which became the most complained about in Ipso history and was ruled as ‘sexist’ in a groundbreaking decision from the press regulator.
The controversy didn’t seem to affect Clarkson’s Farm viewing figures.
It became Amazon’s most-watched original show in the UK since the ratings body began collecting data for major streaming sites.
In recent months, his girlfriend Lisa Hogan hinted season 4 was on the cards much to the delight of his fans.
