In season one, the pair explored countries like Ireland, Dubai, and Iceland.
At each location, they partook in various thrilling activities like water jet-packing, zip-lining, and diving.
According to Deadline, the new season will consist of eight episodes and feature eight different locations.
They include the Swiss Alps, Australia, Chile, and, of course, Singapore, among others.
Other Harry Potter stars, such as Matt Lewis (Neville Longbottom) and Alfie Enoch (Dean Thomas), will also be guesting in this new season.

And it seems like James took quite a liking for lion dance, judging from the shots of himself with a lion dance puppet.
The trio also shared cool shots against Singapore’s iconic skyline.
