Top Gear’s licensing activity to be unaffected by show’s hiatus, says BBC

Despite ‘resting’ Top Gear for the foreseeable future, the BBC has stated that licensing activity for the show will be unaffected.

The car show is being put on hiatus following a crash involving presenter Freddie Flintoff in 2022.

“We know resting the show will be disappointing news for fans, but it is the right thing to do,” read a statement from the BBC.

“All other Top Gear activity remains unaffected by this hiatus, including international formats, digital, magazines and licensing.”
