Destination X premieres on NBC

Our thrilling new reality competition series Destination X premieres in the US on Tuesday 27th May at 10/9C. Under the dynamic hosting of Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Walking Dead, The Boys), the series sends 10 contestants on a high-stakes journey across Europe – completely unaware of their whereabouts.

Traveling aboard a blacked-out bus with no windows, phones, or access to maps, contestants must depend entirely on their powers of observation, sharp deduction skills, and collaborative teamwork to uncover their mysterious location.

Each episode builds to a crucial moment where players must place an “X” on a map, marking where they believe they are. The contestant whose guess proves furthest from the actual destination faces elimination. The winner who reaches Destination X scores $250,000.

Adapted from the successful Belgian format, Destination X combines adventure, strategic thinking, and mystery, featuring an engaging cast that includes everyday players and recognisable faces from shows like The Challenge and Love Island USA.

The show has received strong early reactions from viewers and critics. 

Collider writes: “What happens when you blindfold a group of strangers, drop them somewhere in the world, and challenge them to figure out where they are, with no maps, phones, or windows? NBC’s Destination X, hosted by the charismatic (and delightfully mischievous) Jeffrey Dean Morgan, turns that nerve-wracking question into TV’s next great obsession.”
