Rob Brydon's BBC Gameshow Destination X Renewed for Second Series

The BBC's adventure game show Destination X, hosted by Rob Brydon, has reportedly been renewed for a second series, over a year after its first run. The show features contestants travelling across Europe on a blacked-out bus, with their location unknown to them and viewers.

Players receive clues and take part in mental and physical challenges to determine their whereabouts. At the end of each episode, they must guess their location on a map of Europe; the contestant furthest from the actual 'Destination X' is eliminated. The winner of the first series, Judith Magambo, took home £100,000.

A source told The Sun that the show 'developed quite a following' and that fans will be thrilled it is returning. However, filming is not expected to begin until late summer, meaning the second series may air almost two years after the first.

Brydon previously described the show's premise: 'The players have to learn to live with each other and to complete challenges to win clues as to where on earth they are.' The first series aired in early 2023, and no official announcement had been made about its future until now.
