Ator Jeffrey Dean Morgan has signed on to host NBC’s adventure reality competition series, Destination X.

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. 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.”

The series is based on a similar Belgian show where contestants are transported in a bus with blacked out windows and dropped off in mystery locations, and must figure out where they are and the person who guesses furthest from the action location will be sent home each week.

Corie Henson, executive vice president of unscripted content, competition and game Shows at NBCUniversal Entertainment, said in a statement: “Jeffrey Dean Morgan embodies the mischievous international man of mystery, making him the perfect host and puppet master for this new travel adventure series.  He’s dashing, charming, playful and the ultimate travel companion!”

Morgan said in a statement: “Destination X captivated me with its blend of travel, mystery, and gaming. 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.”
