Amazon To Preview Second Season Of The Grand Tour On Prime Day
The Grand Tour is facing a bit of a setback following Richard Hammond’s accident but that isn’t stopping Amazon from offering a preview of the upcoming second season.
As part of the retailer’s Prime Day extravaganza, the company will offer Prime members a “brand new tease” of the popular show.
Amazon says the preview is the “first look at any filming from the hugely anticipated second season.” That’s not much to go on, but it divulges that the footage will show Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond in Mozambique, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
The inclusion of Switzerland is certainly interesting, as Hammond crashed the Rimac Concept One in the country just a few weeks ago. It remains unclear if the teaser will show footage of the accident, but it’s possible considering all the media attention it received.
Prime Day 2017 kicks off on July 10th and it will last 30 hours.
