Destination X is in post-production and will premiere in 2027. Based on the Belgian format, the travel competition blindfolds its contestants to find where the “X” they are.
In each episode, players are immersed in extraordinary destinations where iconic landmarks, local culture and tourist attractions are transformed into experiential challenges. To uncover their location and gain an edge in the competition, contestants must rely on their knowledge, powers of observation and problem-solving abilities. But discovering the right destination is only half the challenge.

As the contestants eat, sleep, and travel together through some of the world’s most breathtaking locations, the game becomes increasingly strategic. Alliances form, rivalries emerge and every conversation could contain a valuable clue or a deliberate misdirection. With each step of the competition carrying real consequence, players must determine who can help them get closer to the truth, who poses the greatest threat, and who should face the dreaded Map Room. There, the player who places an X on a map farthest from the actual location is at risk of leaving the competition.
