Will there be a Destination X series 2?
The game show started back in July and has had viewers guessing from the off. Audiences are able to play along and attempt to work out where the bus is, at the same time as the contestants - but just one episode is left.
Based on a Belgian TV show, there is also an American version which aired earlier in 2025. Destination X will continue with two episodes per week on BBC One until the conclusion of season one.
Daily Star reports that the show has been renewed for a second series by the Beeb. According to the website, the decision is set to be announced later this month.
The BBC has not formally announced the recommission. But an insider told The Daily Star: “Everyone at the BBC thinks Destination X is a cracking show, so they want to bring it back in 2026.
“It’s a clear sign that they have faith it could become one of the biggest shows on TV.” The website adds that Rob Brydon will be offered a “big money deal” to return as host.
Destination X’s final will air on BBC One and iPlayer tonight (August 28). It will start at 9pm, it has been confirmed.
