Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Upcoming Reality Travel Competition Show Sounds Fun

Throughout the history of the reality TV show genre, many celebrities have appeared in them. For example, Theo Von previously starred in The Challenge and several A-list stars got their start on reality shows. On the other hand, several famous people have gone on to host reality shows. For example, there is Alan Cumming, who revealed the funniest players from The Traitors, and Joe Manganiello, who auditioned for Survivor before hosting Deal or No Deal Island.




As it turns out, The Walking Dead’s Jeffrey Dean Morgan is set to follow in Alan and Joe’s footsteps. The reason for that is that it was revealed that Jeffrey Dean Morgan is going to host an upcoming reality competition show.


Jeffrey Dean Morgan Will Be Hosting An Upcoming Reality Competition Show

Throughout the majority of Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s time in the public eye, he has been known as an actor. After all, Jeffrey has been seen in a slew of successful movies and TV shows since he first rose to fame.

In terms of movies, Jeffrey has starred in P.S. I Love You, Watchmen, and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Jeffrey has also been a memorable part of shows like Supernatural, Grey’s Anatomy, The Good Wife, The Walking Dead, The Walking Dead: Dead City, and The Boys.

Given how busy Jeffrey clearly is as an actor, it seemed like that was the main thing his career would focus on. However, it was revealed in September 2024 that Jeffrey was going to become the host of an upcoming reality competition travel show.


On September 19, 2024, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Jeffrey Dean Morgan was set to star in a huge new project.

According to The Hollywood Reporter’s article, Jeffrey is going to be hosting a reality travel competition show that is titled Destination X.


Over the years, there have been many reality shows that have shown viewers the world. The most obvious example of that is The Amazing Race, since that show takes its players all over the world where they have to complete a myriad of different tasks.

According to a

Men’s Health

article from April 2019,
The Amazing Race
had already visited more than 80 different countries by then. That number has only grown in the years since that article was published, which makes it clear the show has been all over the place.

Based on what The Hollywood Reporter’s article revealed, Destination X viewers will get to see the show’s competitors travel the world. If that wasn’t attractive enough, Destination X will also show the locations in a new light.

As a part of The Hollywood Reporter’s article, it was revealed that the show will make some changes to the locations where filming takes place. More specifically, the article describes these small changes as “tweaks.”

In September 2024, Jeff Dean Morgan’s wife, Hilarie Burton, spoke to

E! News

about her relationship with her husband. During that interview, Hilarie spoke about how Jeffrey had been traveling for work and about how excited she was for his return. “He’s traveling for work, and so I’m going to see him for a whirlwind 24 hours and no one should expect to be in touch with us. It’s kind of great.”

Since most people like to travel the world and see it as it is, some people may ask why any “tweaks” were being made to the locations. There is a fantastic explanation for that, since the concept behind the show’s competition means that these “tweaks” have to be made.

As a Just Jared article revealed, Destination X will take a handful of players all over the world. The twist is that none of the players will be told where they are, and they will have to try to figure that out for themselves.


According to
The Hollywood Reporter’s
aforementioned article,
Destination X
is based off a show format that was created for Belgian TV. Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s version of the show is being adapted by the BBC and NBC, the same networks that adapted the American version of
The Traitors
together.

At the end of each episode, the players will have to guess where they think they are. The player whose guess is the furthest away from where they actually are will then be eliminated from the game, according to Just Jared’s article.

As an actor, Jeffrey has proven to be the kind of star that has a lot of fans who care deeply about him. Still, Jeffrey has never hosted a reality show before. With that in mind, it begs an obvious question. Why was Jeffrey chosen to host Destination X?


The Hollywood Reporter’s article quoted NBC’s executive in charge of reality shows, Corie Henson. Fortunately for curious fans, Corie explained why Jeffrey was chosen to host Destination X.

“Jeffrey Dean Morgan embodies the mischievous international man of mystery, making him the perfect host and puppet master for this new travel adventure series.”

In September 2024, Deadline also reported on the news that Jeffrey Dean Morgan was set to host Destination X. As a part of that article, Deadline included fascinating details about the upcoming reality show, like the fact that the players will be transported in a bus with blacked out windows.

Deadline’s article also included a quote from Jeffrey about why he was excited to be the host of a reality show. More specifically, Jeffrey explained what appealed to him about Destination X.



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.”

The one thing that isn’t clear yet, as of the time of this writing, is when reality show fans will finally get the chance to see Destination X.

That said, it seems extremely likely that Destination X will be embraced by a lot of passionate reality show fans. After all, the show has an interesting concept and there is no doubt that a lot of people like watching Jeffrey Dean Morgan on their screens. The only element that Destination X will need to secure to become a great show is an interesting cast of players that viewers invest in enough to care if they win or lose.
