BBC America Announces Premiere Date for ‘Top Gear’

BBC AMERICA’S “TOP GEAR” RETURNS FOR AN ALL-NEW SEASON WITH NEW LINE-UP ON SUNDAY, JULY 14

New York – June 5, 2019 – After releasing the action-packed trailer last week, BBC AMERICA today announced that the all-new season of Top Gear premieres on the network on Sunday, July 14 at 8/7c.

Featuring new hosts Freddie Flintoff, Paddy McGuinness and returning host Chris Harris, the premiere episode sees the trio reliving their first car experiences in Ethiopia. Freddie, Paddy and Chris are tasked with buying a fine example of their own first car, and drive their purchases to the Danakil Depression – the hottest year-round place on Earth. Moreover, Chris takes to the track in the McLaren 600LT and Ferrari 488 Pista in order to determine which track-day supercar is the best. Suffice to say, Europe’s tire manufacturers were kept in business for another few years.
