Deadline released an exclusive trailer on the second season of Fantastic Friends. The travel series’ clip offers glimpses into the magical escapades awaiting Harry Potter stars James Phelps and Oliver Phelps, better known as the Phelps twins, and their companions.

The first season, which celebrated significant success, saw the brothers unite with different guests in each episode for unique, intimate experiences. With the promise of the continuation of this fascinating format, Season 2 promises to further quench fans' thirst for connection and adventure.

However, it's time to discard any fantastical illusions, as the trailer frankly informs us that the Phelps twins are not real redheads nor genuine wizards. Instead, the siblings are seen involved in a multitude of adrenaline-filled activities such as flying inverted in miniature aircraft, exploring the undersea wonders through snorkeling, and even operating locomotives.

The new season not only features returning Harry Potter stars such as Matthew Lewis,...

Abacus Media Rights (Amr), an Amcomri Entertainment Company, and Herbert L. Kloiber’s Munich-based Night Train Media (Ntm) are launching pre-sales this week on the dark truths series “Conquistadors: The Rise and Fall” as Content Americas and Realscreen lift off in respectively in Miami and Austin.

The launch comes after Amr took on global distribution rights in association with Ntm on the six-part factual series, produced by Emmy-nominated Dash Pictures and Ntm. It sheds light on the harsh truths surrounding Europe’s dramatic wave of expansion from 1492 after Colombus landed in the Caribbean.
