Top Gear's Clarkson, Hammond And May Are Doing A Show On Amazon
We may receive a commission on purchases made from links.
While most (including us) were expecting the trio to land on Netflix, Top Gear's former presenters ended up working for Amazon Video (time to get that Prime membership). Call us excited.
Not much is known at this point apart from that the deal was signed already if you believe a certain ex-BBC employee:
I'm very excited to announce that Hammond, May and I have signed a deal with .@AmazonVideo

And that Amazon wants them to produce a car show again instead of letting the orangutan become their chief drone pilot:
.@AmazonVideoUK now saying I can't be their chief drone pilot. Apparently they want us to make a car show.

Mr May had this to add,
Good news! I've got a job with @AmazonVideoUK. Bad news! So have the other two. #AmazonPrime #ItSaysHere

I've got a job I've got a job I've got a job.
