DESTINATION X: Jeffrey Dean Morgan to Host New NBC Adventure Reality Competition Series

Jeffrey Dean Morgan will host the upcoming NBC’s adventure reality competition series DESTINATION X. (The actor will also serve as an executive producer on the show.)

“Jeffrey Dean Morgan embodies the mischievous international man of mystery, making him the perfect host and puppet master for this new travel adventure series,” said Corie Henson, Executive Vice President, Unscripted Content, Competition and Game Shows, NBCUniversal Entertainment, in a statement. “He’s dashing, charming, playful and the ultimate travel companion!”

“DESTINATION X captivated me with its blend of travel, mystery, and gaming,” added. “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.”

“When thinking about who we’d want to travel around the world with, Jeffrey Dean Morgan was the first person to come to mind,” said Toby Gorman, President, Universal Television Alternative Studio. “DESTINATION X is filled with adventure, excitement and intrigue, all the characteristics that Jeffrey exemplifies.”

In the series, which is based on the Belgian format, “viewers will follow contestants as they embark on the road trip of a lifetime but have no idea where they are. In order to win, they must figure out their mystery locations. Once they’re on the blacked-out DESTINATION X bus, the journey transforms into a real-life game board, with challenges designed to offer clever clues as to their location, along with a few misdirects to keep them guessing. At the end of each episode, contestants must guess where they are and the furthest from the actual location is sent packing. The first participant to reach DESTINATION X will be crowned the winner. With high stakes and mind-blowing spectacular gameplay, the series will keep viewers engaged and take them along for the ride.”

The series is set to debut in 2025.
