For sure! At the moment we have a few other passion projects in the process of being green-lit. We would love to revisit Departures in the future for an epic season 4! We have one rule, if we are going to do another season it has to be better than season 1,2 and 3 combined :)

We spent upwards of a month in some countries. The shortest was in North Korea where we were only allowed to stay 5 days. It's amazing to think we got two full episodes shot in such a short time, but everything we were allowed to film was so fascinating.

Most of the places we went to we wish we had more time to explore. It was great to revisit some places when we filmed Descending, to see them again but from a whole new perspective.

We were closely monitored and moderated. We were only taken to the places that were part of the "tour", places that they wanted to show us. This is what its like to tour DPRK and that experience we had was 100% accurate. If you look closely at the episode and read between the lines, you can see the "real" DPRK, again, anything we were allowed to put on camera we did.

Rwanda, Japan, and Vietnam you can talk about those things with the people and they are willing to talk about it. In DPRK, people are unable or un-wiling to speak about these things at this time. So we decided to show the experience the locals presented to us and try and connect in a human way with those we met. We felt this was being a respectful and responsible traveler. We also got to show a different side of the DPRK that is not normally shown on the news, in docs etc.

We are always true to showing OUR experience within a country.

The people we met and the friendships we forged with our guides were genuine. Even Nick who as been visiting there for 20 years has never seen foreigners connect like that before. If thats true then we feel we did something right.

Never say never! D4 would be amazing! Some of the places we had on our list but were unable to get to were:

Iran, the "stans", Mali, Mauritius/Reunion, Peru, Argentina, Pitcairn...

Its a big world and after 3 seasons we still only barely saw it.

Zimbabwe was pretty cheap. 10 cents a bottle, and it was good!
