Joe Otterson TV Reporter Jeffrey Dean Morgan will host the upcoming NBC reality competition series “Destination X.” The show is based on the Beglian format created by Geronimo and distributed globally by Be-Entertainment.

Morgan will also serve as an executive producer on the series, which marks his first time hosting an unscripted series. “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 of unscripted content, competition and game shows for NBCUniversal Entertainment. “He’s dashing, charming, playful and the ultimate travel companion!” The official series description states: “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.
