Meet the cast of 'Destination X' reality show hosted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan
Having a Euro summer isn't for everyone between the cost and getting the time off of work. Thankfully, there's a new reality competition series to satisfy that travel bug without having to leave the comfort of your own couch!
NBC's Destination X, hosted by The Walking Dead and Supernatural star Jeffrey Dean Morgan, combines a trip across Europe with a guessing game, and features some reality show alums from The Challenge, The Traitors, and Love Island playing against normal civilians.
Competitors travel through different countries living in a blacked-out bus, and their goal is to figure out where they've been dropped off at each destination by using tourist attractions, hidden clues disguised as artifacts, and challenges. At the end of each episode, they'll enter the Map Room to make their guess on where they think they are, and the furthest from the location is sent home. Ultimately, the last player standing meets the host and wins $250,000.
According to the release, contestants will need to rely on "their knowledge of pop culture, history, geography, and observational skills to win clues to their current location and earn an all-important advantage." Plus, players will need to learn to "ignore intentional misdirects" from their opponents to figure out where they are. We love sabotage!
Another twist includes The Traitors/The Bachelor alum Peter "Pilot Pete" Weber and Love Island alum JaNa Craig hopping on the adventure bus to "change the trajectory of the game" somehow. And The Challenge and Big Brother alum Josh Martinez is also among the cast, starting off the season as the only reality TV veteran before Weber and Craig join the show.
"I was expecting for there to be more TV vets, and I was very shocked when I took off my goggles and I was like, 'I don't recognize anyone!'" Martinez previously told Entertainment Weekly. "Once I saw the bus pull up and Jeffrey said that's where we were going to be living, I was instantly excited. And then once we hit the road for about six to eight hours, it had set in that this was going to be my reality for the next few weeks or months, and I went absolutely crazy... The living conditions on the bus was extremely hard for me."
Below, check out the full list of cast members competing for the ultimate X premieres Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC, with episodes streaming the next day on Peacock.
