Dash Pictures advances on the production of "Fantastic Friends" second season

The trailer of the second season of Dash Pictures’ thrilling travel series, "Fantastic Friends", with hosts James and Oliver Phelps – aka the mischievous Weasley twins from Harry Potter – has been released. The 8 x 1-hour series features a line-up of special friends, including Corey Mylchreest ("Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story"); Matthew Lewis ("Harry Potter"); Alfie Allen ("Game of Thrones"); Mark Williams ("Harry Potter"); Alfred Enoch ("Harry Potter"); Genesis Rodriguez ("The Umbrella Academy"); Natalia Tena ("Harry Potter") and Stanislav Yanevski ("Harry Potter").

Filmed in incredible locations including Turkey, the Swiss Alps, Singapore, Australia, Florida in the US, Chile, and Patagonia, "Fantastic Friends" sees the twins and their special guests embark on adrenaline-fueled and exhilarating adventures such as ice climbing, snowmobiling and ghost hunting. Produced and directed by Emmy Award-nominated filmmaker Daniel Sharp ("Billy & Dom Eat The World"), the high-energy series is distributed internationally by Off The Fence.

James Phelps comments: “'Fantastic Friends' was Oliver's brainchild. But we found out straight away that our friends who joined us for series one were fully behind it. We always wanted their input into activities and the places we went to. I learned early on that doing something a friend wants to do and not necessarily you end up being even more fun as it isn't expected. I’ve now told anyone when you're traveling try something you wouldn't normally do.” James adds, “Working with our friends, a great crew, and my brother has been made even more special with the kind words that so many who have already seen the show have shared with us.”

Corey Mylchreest says: “Working on the second series of 'Fantastic Friends' was truthfully the most fun I've had all year, pure craziness! Having never been to Australia before, simply being able to travel around and see the place was more than enough. But being the Potter fanboy that I am, to do it with two of my idols growing up was a dream come true. I can safely, but more importantly, solemnly swear we got up to no good.”

Oliver Phelps comments: "Travelling has long been a pleasure and a passion of ours. Being able to make 'Fantastic Friends' has been a brilliant experience. Seeing the world with your brother and some friends... it's the perfect combination. One thing we always wanted was for the audience to feel like they are on the journey with us. We wanted to show not just the nice parts of travel but felt it was important to include parts people may forget – the early starts, long days, getting lost – it's all in there."

Producer Daniel Sharp says: “It’s been such a thrill to spend time with James, Oliver and their friends, watching them discover what they are capable of, however daunting, and having a great time in the process. Our aim was always to make a relaxed and genuine, non-fiction show that would help our viewers see the wonders of the world and the joy of travel, and we have done just that. Working alongside Off The Fence, HBO, The CW and many others has been a pleasure, and we’re excited for this second, eight-episode series to be available.”
