This would put the show on hiatus for over a year, as all three hosts left to produce rival show and spiritual successor The Grand Tour.

Only one episode would fail to break the 6 million view mark, and the 7 million view mark would almost be broken three times, the final episode falling short by just 80,000 viewers. No doubt spurred on by the myriad of controversies which occurred before, during, and after the series aired, viewing figures stabilised in comparison to its immediate predecessor, retaining the 6.49 million average that Series 21 set. As such, the series marks the final appearance of the show's iconic presenting line-up of Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. Subsequently, Clarkson's co-presenters Hammond and May announced that they would leave the show shortly after and the show's executive producer, Andy Wilman, also announced his resignation. An investigation was conducted by the BBC after which Clarkson was dismissed from the show on the 25th of March, 2015. The series was put on hiatus in March of 2015 after Jeremy Clarkson was suspended by the BBC following a fracas with a producer on the show, Oisin Tymon at the time, seven episodes of the series had aired.

It was preceded by the two-part Patagonia Special, which aired in December 2014, and featured seven regular episodes in addition to the aforementioned special and a "Big Send-Off Special" inadvertently caused by what was to ensue behind the scenes. The twenty-second series of the BBC motoring show Top Gear, starring presenters Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May, premiered on the 25th of January, 2015, and concluded on the 28th of June, 2015, following a three-month hiatus.
