Everything to know about new BBC series Destination X as contestants revealed

NORTH YORKSHIRE, ENGLAND, JUL 22 – Thirteen contestants face a 32-day challenge across 11,000 km in Europe testing endurance, navigation, and teamwork for a £100,000 prize, BBC said.

  • The BBC is set to premiere Destination X, a reality competition series hosted by Rob Brydon, starting on the evening of July 30, with episodes available on BBC One and iPlayer.
  • The show features 13 contestants traveling around Europe on a special bus, competing in mental, physical, and teamwork challenges for a £100,000 prize.
  • Contestants must solve clues to identify their location, while the bus windows remain opaque most of the time but briefly clear by switch during the game.
  • Filming lasted 32 days with a 190-person crew that traveled over 11,000 km, and Brydon described the show as combining elements of The Traitors and Race Across the World.
  • Destination X tests endurance, navigation, and teamwork, eliminating contestants based on accuracy in location guessing, and aims to appeal broadly across generations.
