Jeffrey Dean Morgan (The Walking Dead: Dead City, The Boys) is apparently against having any downtime. Morgan’s just signed on to host NBC’s Destination X, an adventure competition series based on the Belgian format.
Morgan will also serve as an executive producer.
“Destination X captivated me with its blend of travel, mystery, and gaming,” said Morgan. “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.”
Additional executive producers include Andy Cadman, Lee Smithurst, and Twofour Managing Director Dan Adamson and Chief Creative Director David Clews. The unscripted competition series is produced by Twofour, part of ITV Studios, and Universal Television Alternative Studio, a division of Universal Studio Group.
“Jeffrey Dean Morgan embodies the mischievous international man of mystery, making him the perfect host and puppet master for this new travel adventure series,” stated Corie Henson, Executive Vice President, Unscripted Content, Competition and Game Shows, NBCUniversal Entertainment. “He’s dashing, charming, playful, and the ultimate travel companion!”
NBC released this description of Destination X:
“Merging fantasy with reality in this larger-than-life adventure competition series, 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.”
