Fred and George Weasley have left the Hogwarts Universe and officially landed in Southeast Asia
Pioneer actors of the Harry Potter franchise, Oliver and James Phelps, who played the iconic roles of Fred and George Weasley in the movie series, were spotted filming an upcoming episode of their 2022 television series, Fantastic Friends.
Described on IMDb as a sequence of extraordinary exploits which see them meeting spellbinding guests, exploring enchanting cities, and taking on phenomenal challenges, Oliver and James discover the beauties of a multitude of countries, all while managing their own mischief along the way.
Having confirmed that they are in the process of filming a second season, the brothers made their first trip to Southeast Asia for the show in Singapore.
However, Oliver and James were not the only Weasleys who popped into Singapore — as Mark Williams, who played the duo's father in the Harry Potter franchise, also joined them for their adventures
In the caption of a post shared by Oliver on his Instagram page, the actor spoke about filming an episode with his "papa".
"Fantastic Friends Season 2 Singapore with Papa — I mean, Mark Williams! We had so much fun in this brilliant destination. The food, the culture, the laughs — all brilliant," wrote Oliver.
Nevertheless, this isn't the first time the pair have filmed with a member from the Harry Potter series — nor will it be the last
In the first season of the show, the twins shot with Bonnie Wright in Iceland, who played their on-screen sister Ginny Weasley, Evanna Lynch in Ireland, who played Luna Lovegood, and Luke Youngblood in Dubai, who played the role of Lee Jordan.
According to a report by Deadline, fellow Harry Potter co-stars Matt Lewis, who played the role of Neville Longbottom, Stanislav Ianevski, who played Viktor Krum, and Natalia Tena, who played Nymphadora Tonks, are set to appear in the second season as well, though their locations have yet to be revealed.
