Destination X Reportedly Set for Series Two as BBC Keeps Quiet

Unverified industry reports say filming is planned for late summer with the new run likely to screen in 2027.

Overview

  • Several UK outlets, citing an unnamed television source, report that the BBC adventure game show Destination X has been recommissioned for a second series while the broadcaster has declined to comment.
  • Those reports say filming will not start until late summer 2026, a schedule that would probably delay transmission until 2027 and leave almost two years between series one and two.
  • Series one aired in early 2025 and followed 13 contestants on a blacked-out coach around Europe where they complete tasks and use a Map Room to place an X that can eliminate players.
  • Host Rob Brydon has publicly compared the format to The Traitors and Race Across the World and has said he became highly engaged with the contestants and the production.
  • The story is currently based on an unnamed source published by tabloid and TV outlets, so a formal BBC announcement remains the definitive confirmation to watch for.
