James May reveals when The Grand Tour series 2 is landing on Amazon

The Grand Tour fans will be excited to hear the Amazon Prime Video series will return for a second series this year and now James May has revealed the month it will launch.

The first instalment of the show saw legendary trio Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May make their way from the California desert to South Africa, the Netherlands, Namibia and back home to the United Kingdom. And this October we will witness the boys embark on their next adventure.

Speaking on The One Show last night (Monday June 5), James revealed when viewers can expect the next batch of episodes to appear.

“October is when you’ll first be able to see it,” he said. “But after that, you’ll be able to see it whenever you want, of course. I’m told to say that!”

Host Matt Baker also asked the star how much was being spent on the upcoming series, to which James quipped: “As little as possible. No, it’s about the same, I would think. It is quite an expensive show to make.

“There’s a lot of travel involved. There’s a lot of crew involved. There’s a lot of tech involved, filming in 4K. But that’s boring stuff.

“It’s going to look largely the same, but we’ve moved it on a bit in a way that I can’t really tell you about yet because you’re the enemy and it’s secret!”

The Grand Tour will return to Amazon Prime Video in October 2017.
