There may be attempts to take production to Australia or New Zealand--some scripted shows, including Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Apple+ show "Mr. Corman," were shot in those countries in the last year and Fox's reboot of "Name That Tune" was shot in Sydney with US expat contestants. Of course, this was being done because of COVID, although recently Australia's two main production cities have been hit again with lockdowns due to the Delta Variant.
