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.

In their Instagram posts, the twins teased some of the exciting activities they engaged in while in Singapore.

Together with Williams, whom the twins affectionately referred to as “papa” or “dad”, they tried their hand at making our local favourite beverage, teh tarik.
