The BBC has reportedly decided to cancel the rest of the current Top Gear season due to a recent scuffle between host Jeremy Clarkson and a producer.
Previous reports suggested the final three episodes in the show’s 22nd season, however BBC News now claims the network has finalized its decision to not air the episode related to Clarkson’s alleged confrontation and the remaining two scheduled segments.

One source claims Clarkson attempted to punch producer Oisin Tymon in a dispute over hot meals following a day of filming, but details surrounding the incident have not been officially detailed or confirmed by BBC.
The fiasco has infuriated many fans, leading to a “Bring Back Clarkson” petition at Change.org. The campaign has been signed by more than 770,000 supporters.
Despite the truncation of the current season, Top Gear is one of the BBC’s most popular shows and is not expected to be completely cancelled, even if the dispute leads to Clarkson’s resignation or ouster.
