Could this be the end of the iconic onscreen trio of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May? After decades of working together, the three longtime co-presenters have reportedly dissolved their production company, sparking rumors that their dynamic partnership may have come to an end.
It all began in 2002 when Jeremy, James, and Richard first joined forces to host the hit BBC series Top Gear. Over the years, they became known for their entertaining banter and wild adventures, earning a massive following of fans. In 2015, the trio left the show and instead created their own highly successful series, The Grand Tour, on Amazon Prime.
However, after two decades of working together, it seems that their partnership has quietly come to an end. This news comes on the heels of the massive success of Jeremy's latest show, Clarkson's Farm, which has maintained his constant presence onscreen since The Grand Tour's fifth season in 2022.
On Thursday, the three presenters reportedly signed off on dissolving their production company, W Chump and Sons, by appointing a voluntary liquidator and making a special resolution to wind up, according to the MailOnline. This means that, for now, the only confirmed upcoming project featuring the beloved trio is the final Grand Tour special filmed in Zimbabwe, set to be released later this year.
In a recent interview, Richard hinted that the end was near, explaining that they wanted to "land this thing at a time, in a place, and in a manner of our choosing." He continued, "We set out to make a car show and it grew into something we didn't expect. So when the time comes to stop, we want to be the ones to say 'stop'."
His sentiments were echoed by James, who shared that they should just "let it lie" and stick to what they do best – cars. Meanwhile, Jeremy has openly admitted that they have run out of ideas for future installments and he is no longer physically fit enough to keep up with the demands of the show.
Despite their creative differences, the trio has enjoyed a successful partnership, with Top Gear even making it into the Guinness World Record book in 2013 as the world's most-watched factual TV program. However, their working relationship was cut short in 2015 when Jeremy was removed from the show due to a behind-the-scenes issue, causing his co-stars to resign in solidarity shortly after.
But even though their partnership has come to an end, the three are still pursuing their individual endeavors. While Jeremy continues his farming adventures, Richard is hosting a new podcast about mental health, and James is reportedly set to front a new series called The Dull Men's Club.
So, could this truly be the end of the dynamic trio's onscreen presence? Only time will tell. The Agency has reached out for comment to Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May's representatives, but for now, their fans will have to wait and see what the future holds for these iconic TV personalities.
