NBC's 'Destination X' Renewed for Season 2
Get ready for more thrilling adventures as 'Destination X' has been renewed for a second season on NBC! This exciting reality show, hosted by the charismatic Jeffrey Dean Morgan, is set to return with a new group of hopefuls ready to embark on a quest for a life-changing prize.
The first season, which premiered in May 2025, captivated audiences with its unique concept. Contestants were transported to various global destinations, from London to Monaco, without any prior knowledge of their location. The show's innovative format, combined with the introduction of reality stars like JaNa Craig and Peter Weber, contributed to its success. With an impressive average of 14 million viewers across linear and streaming platforms in its initial 26 days, 'Destination X' became the top alternative series launch on Peacock and the number one new show of the summer, attracting a massive audience of 20 million across all platforms.
In the show, contestants must decipher their mystery location by solving challenges and navigating a blacked-out bus filled with clues. The one who places the X on the map closest to the actual destination at the end of each episode wins the grand prize. The first season showcased iconic locations such as London, Rome, Geneva, Paris, Amsterdam, Munich, Salzburg, Venice, and Monaco, leaving viewers eager for more.
Produced by the talented team at ITV-owned Twofour, known for Apple's 'The Reluctant Traveller', and Universal Television Alternative Studio, 'Destination X' is based on a Belgian format created by Geronimo and distributed by Be-Entertainment. The show's success has sparked a partnership between NBCUniversal and the BBC, with the British public broadcaster also adapting the format.
Season 2 promises even more thrilling twists and a global adventure, as Sharon Vuong, EVP of Unscripted Programming at NBC, stated, "Destination X is returning with the world as our playground to deliver new unforgettable adventures that will keep viewers guessing every step of the way." Toby Gorman, President of Universal Television Alternative Studio, added, "With this new season, we're dialing everything up even more, taking both the contestants and the audience on adventures that are bigger, bolder, and completely unexpected."
With Jeffrey Dean Morgan back at the helm, the show's second season is set to push the boundaries of unscripted television, offering a cinematic and exhilarating experience that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Get ready for more excitement as 'Destination X' returns to NBC!
