Chris Harris on Cars is a British-American motoring television series, presented by Chris Harris, and broadcast by BBC America from July 11, 2016. It is a spinoff show to Top Gear, and is also a television remake of YouTube channel Chris Harris on Cars.[1]

Production

In July 2016, it was announced that Top Gear presenter Chris Harris would be broadcast on BBC America, starting on July 11, 2016.[2] The show features the same title as Harris' YouTube channel.[1] BBC America have also used the same title card from the Chris Harris on Cars YouTube channel.[2][1] In September 2016, Harris announced that the show had gone on hiatus, in order for him to concentrate on filming Top Gear;[3] but due to declining ratings, it is reckoned that a second season is unlikely. However, there is not confirmation from the BBC.
