Jeremy Clarkson, the TV presenter who was ousted as host of “Top Gear” this year, will front a new show on Amazon.com Inc. in 2016, underscoring the online retailer’s drive to push its streaming service with big-ticket names.

He’ll be joined by his “Top Gear” co-presenters Richard Hammond and James May, Amazon said on its website. The show will be available exclusively to Amazon Prime members.
