British auto show Top Gear will return in May to BBC Two and BBC America, and the network just released a trailer to give UK and US audiences a taste of what’s to come. The show will be different from previous seasons without longtime former Top Gear presenters Jeremy Clarkson, James May, and Richard Hammond. Those three have since signed a three-year deal with Amazon to create another car show.
Instead, the new season of Top Gear features former Friends actor Matt LeBlanc, who had previously appeared on Top Gear as the fastest “Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.” LeBlanc’s presence will probably help the show gain broader appeal in the US, and the actor is a noted Formula 1 fan. He likely won’t be out of place.
Other presenters will include Chris Evans, Sabine Schmitz, Formula 1 commentator Eddie Jordan, and Rory Reid. In the trailer, we see racing driver Jenson Button behind the wheel of a lime green McLaren 675LT, Chris Harris in a yellow Ferrari F12, and LeBlanc in what appears to be an Ariel Nomad.
