This follows the recent global phenomenon of &#8220;<em>The Traitors<\/em>,&#8221; which was also a co-commission between the two broadcast giants. The North American rights were secured by Toby Gorman and Ed Havard for Universal Television Alternative Studio, a division of Universal Studio Group, for development at NBC, led by Corie Henson. Whilst for the BBC, Director of Unscripted Kate Phillips and Editor of Unscripted, Syeda Irtizaali, secured UK rights for BBC One and iPlayer.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Destination X<\/em>&#8221; crosses fantasy with reality in this larger-than-life adventure competition. Ten contestants embark on the road trip of a lifetime, but have no idea of their location. Once they&#8217;re on the innovative Destination X bus, reality is tweaked to mislead them and the viewers. Information comes with a number of clues designed to help the contestants decide if they can trust what they see. They need to be on top of their game at all times to figure out where they are. At the end of each episode, the contestant who places their X on a map furthest away from the bus&#8217;s actual location has to leave the game and loses their shot at winning a cash prize. The surviving participants search for the location of the host, who interacts with them from the secret command post. Mind-blowing and spectacular gameplay will keep viewers engaged and playing along on all screens.<\/p><div id=\"morty-1973721707\" class=\"morty-content morty-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Destination X<\/em>&#8221; was created and produced by Geronimo, the award-winning team behind &#8220;<em>The Big Job Switch<\/em>&#8221; and &#8220;Doctor Davy,&#8221; and launched in Belgium on February 20th on commercial broadcaster VTM.<\/p>\n<p>Kate Phillips, BBC Director of Unscripted, says: &#8220;Following the must-see success of The Traitors, I&#8217;m delighted that once again we&#8217;re partnering with NBCUniversal on another very smart, very addictive, and very innovative competition show.
