DESCRIPTION: (from The CW's web site, July 2023) “Fantastic Friends” is part adventure-travel series, part magic-infused challenge show and part a celebration of friendship. The six-part series is hosted by James and Oliver Phelps — aka the mischievous Weasley twins of Harry Potter fame. The action moves from Iceland to Ireland, from St. Lucia to Dubai, as the twins expand their horizons and explore new worlds, while engaging in a series of magic-themed challenges and competitions. Produced and directed by Emmy® Award-nominated filmmaker Daniel Sharp (“Vikings: The Rise and Fall”; “Disasters Engineered”; “Top Gear America”), each episode sees the Phelps twins travel to a destination to meet up with one of their famous friends, who then take on the role of tour guide. The cast includes the twin’s Harry Potter co-stars Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood), Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley) and Luke Youngblood (Lee Jordan), as well as Maisie Williams (“Game of Thrones”), Sophie Skelton (“Outlander”) and Haley Joel Osment (“The Sixth Sense”). “Fantastic Friends” is executive produced by James Phelps, Oliver Phelps, Martin Blencowe and Daniel Sharp. |
