AMAZON has announced that after a year-long journey around the world, Dubai will be the final destination for the studio filming aspect of the new Amazon Original Series The Grand Tour, bringing the first series of the Prime exclusive show to a close.
Having traveled around the globe, the show’s mobile studio — a giant tent — will be pitched at the base of the world’s tallest tower, The Burj Khalifa, located in the heart of Downtown Dubai. To be part of the studio audience, fans can apply online. Entries are open for one week and successful applicants will be contacted over the next few weeks, with the studio filming taking place in December.
“After an epic whirlwind trip around the globe, Dubai will be the final chance for fans to come and join Jeremy, Richard and James for the final studio recording of the first ever series of The Grand Tour,” said Jay Marine, VP of Amazon Video Europe. “Demand for tickets has been incredible, so don’t miss out and apply today to join the guys in Dubai for the ultimate adventure and an experience to remember.”
The Grand Tour, which has been shot in 4K Ultra High Definition, will launch on Nov. 18 exclusively for Amazon Prime members, with new episodes releasing weekly for 12 weeks. Prime members can watch The Grand Tour via the Amazon Video app on smart TVs, streaming media players — including FireTV and FireTV Stick - Xbox, PlayStation, Wii, Wii U, on iOS and Android phones and tablets, and on the web.
Jeremy, Richard and James have been traveling the world filming the first series of The Grand Tour in far-flung locations across the globe. The team has already taken the tent to Johannesburg, California, Whitby, Rotterdam and Lapland with Stuttgart, Scotland and Nashville next on the itinerary. To keep across all the news, fans can follow The Grand Tour on Facebook, Twitter and at Amazon.
