NBC is gearing up to launch its highly anticipated adventure reality series "Destination X" in early 2025, with actor Jeffrey Dean Morgan taking the helm as host and executive producer. The show, based on an award-winning Belgian format, promises to blend travel, mystery, and gaming in an innovative competition that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
In "Destination X," contestants embark on a mysterious road trip aboard a blacked-out bus, facing challenges that offer clues about their location while also being misled. The journey transforms into a real-life game board, with participants trying to deduce their whereabouts using clever hints and overcoming misdirections.
Morgan, known for his roles in "The Walking Dead" and "The Boys," expressed excitement about his first unscripted project: "I can't wait to embark on this wild guessing game across the globe as Master of Ceremony, navigating players through challenges that test their mental and physical abilities".
The show's format has already proven successful in several countries, including Belgium, France, and the Netherlands. As the seventh territory to adapt the series, Denmark's public broadcaster DR is also set to air its version later this year.
With its unique blend of adventure travel and immersive gameplay, "Destination X" is poised to become a standout addition to NBC's midseason lineup in 2025. As viewers follow contestants trying to unravel the mystery of their location, the show promises to deliver high-stakes entertainment and spectacular gameplay that will engage audiences across all screens.
