JAMES MAY TRAVELS TO AMERICA FOR AMAZON TRAVELOGUE

Following is first successful travelogue Our Man In Japan, James May is to front James May: Our Man in the USA, which has been ordered for Amazon Prime Video and will land in 2022.

May will set off on an epic 4,000-mile fact-finding mission across the United States of America, journeying from Cape Cod to Seattle, via New York, Detroit, Nashville, New Orleans, Houston, Santa Fe, Las Vegas, and LA, he’ll put the disappointment of 1776 behind him as he immerses himself completely in the real American way of life to discover its true flavour.

James May said: "I’m setting off with two objectives: To go West, like the settlers and prospectors of old, and not get fat on American breakfasts in the process. As a man brought up (raised) on U.S. cop shows and Hollywood films, I still believe that everything in America must be better; from the size of their fridges to the uncanny alignment of their teeth. But is it?"

Dan Grabiner, Head of UK Originals, Amazon Studios:“Exhilarating as James exploring his own kitchen is, we are thrilled to be getting Our Man back on the road for another adventure. Our Man in Japan’s anti-travelogue approach was a hit with Prime Video audiences, and we are so excited to finally be able to re-assemble this brilliant team for their next journey.”
