Season 2 of NBC‘s Destination X features a mix of reality stars and civilians with returning host, Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
The Walking Dead actor will spearhead the travel competition that turns the world into a real-life gameboard. In Destination X, thirteen strangers face the adventure of a lifetime.
Adventurers are competing for a $250,000 grand prize. Weekly, players are eliminated one by one. The first player to reach the final Destination X will win.
Deadline announced the cast of the sophomore season. Starring in season 2 are Love Island USA alums Nic Vansteenberghe and Kaylor Martin, Big Brother legends Dan Gheesling and Tiffany Mitchell, Survivor’s Wendell Holland and Below Deck’s Aesha Scott.
Civilians include Dalen Michaels, Will Anderson, Lauren Barnwell, Amun Cosme, Lacy Dollar, Matthew Gaston, and Sasha Sloan.
Based on the Belgian format, the travel competition blindfolds its contestants to find where the “X” they are.
Players are immersed in extraordinary destinations where iconic landmarks, local culture, and tourist attractions are transformed into experiential challenges. To uncover their location, contestants must rely on their knowledge, powers of observation, and problem-solving abilities.
Discovering the right destination is only half the challenge.
“As the contestants eat, sleep, and travel together through some of the world’s most breathtaking locations, the game becomes increasingly strategic. Alliances form, rivalries emerge, and every conversation could contain a valuable clue or a deliberate misdirection. Players must determine who can help them get closer to the truth, and who should face the dreaded Map Room. There, the player who places an X on a map farthest from the actual location is at risk of leaving the competition.”
