" As for more future locations, White has also teased that he'd like to make one season on every continent. "My dream would be to hit every continent, so yeah, this is like its own continent basically," he said atSydney's Vivid Festivalin 2023. "We kind of have to come to Australia if we keep going... It would be so fun. Obviously, there's a huge wealth of talent here and the beauty is inarguable, so it feels like it checks all the boxes."
