Ex-Top Gear star Jeremy Clarkson to host new car show on Amazon with Richard Hammond, James May
Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has signed a deal with Amazon to present a new motoring show alongside his former co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May.
Clarkson was fired from the BBC for physically attacking a member of Top Gear's production staff in March.
Despite being shocked at the broadcaster's decision not to renew his contract, Clarkson had said he was confident he would do another car show eventually.
Amazon said the new show, to be overseen by the trio's long-time executive producer Andy Wilman, will be available on its subscription streaming service Amazon Prime next year and will run for three seasons.
It gave no further details of the as-yet unnamed show.
Clarkson, 55, was replaced as lead presenter of the globally popular Top Gear show — aired in more than 200 countries and watched by 350 million viewers worldwide — by television presenter and DJ Chris Evans.
