# The End of an Era: Reflecting on The Grand Tour’s Legacy
**London, 5 February 2026** – As we mark the beginning of February, the automotive and entertainment world continues to adjust to a landscape without new adventures from the iconic trio of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. Following the emotional conclusion of their final special, *One for the Road*, the focus has shifted from tyre smoke and international border crossings to the enduring legacy of a partnership that spanned over two decades.
## A Final Farewell in Zimbabwe
The conclusion of *The Grand Tour* saw the presenters return to their roots, traversing the stunning landscapes of Zimbabwe in three cars they had always loved: a Lancia Montecarlo, a Ford Capri GXL, and a Triumph Stag. The finality of the episode, which aired late last year, marked the official dissolution of W. Chump & Sons, the production company behind the series.
While rumours of a “reboot” with new presenters occasionally surface in tabloid circles, industry insiders suggest that Amazon Prime Video is currently prioritising the individual solo projects of the original hosts rather than rushing a replacement series.
