The future of Grand Tour Presents finally gets an update from Amazon Prime

When is the next episode of Grand Tour Season 4? That's the question every fan of the hit Amazon Prime Video series has been asking Jeremy Clarkson on Twitter since the last episode, Seamen, in December 2019. Now Amazon has finally shed light on what's going on with the series. The next episode of The Grand Tour Presents, which confirms that it will take Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond to Madagascar, is scheduled for later this year, Amazon confirmed on Twitter. Unfortunately, the next scheduled episode, which was to be filmed in Russia, cannot start production yet, for obvious reasons. Here is the statement from the Grand Tour Twitter account:

Yes, the next special will land later this year. Yes, it is filming in Madagascar and yes, there will be cars. Yes, we wanted to go to Russia. No, we couldn't (we all know why). We will try again. No, we don't know when. Yes, we will keep you informed. #TheGrandTour July 7, 2020 In April, it was revealed that the last episode was finished in 2-3 weeks, the release date was in the hands of Amazon. In her most recent responses to subscribers regarding the next episode's release date, Clarkson simply replied, "Ask Amazon."

What happens next?

Film and television production are facing challenges right now, but The Grand Tour is built specifically on the premise that the hosts go to interesting settings to create their usual brand of vehicle quarantine crisis content. Russia is approaching 700,000 cases of Covid-19, which will undoubtedly create challenges for the filming of a new episode of the series. It could mean, then, that this next episode of the Grand Tour is the last one we've seen for a long time.
