An exclusive sneak peek of Destination X will air after the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, May 3.
Destination X's cast of 12 people will include Peter, Josh and Love Island alum JaNa Craig.
Based on the Belgium format, which had debuted in 2023, Destination X is a travel competition series in which Europe will essentially be turned into a real-life gameboard.
Complete strangers, who consider themselves to be adventurous, will traverse each country on a blacked-out "Destination X" bus -- where they will eat and sleep as a group -- with the goal of figuring out where they are each week.
In each episode, the players will disembark the bus and visit unique and unfamiliar tourist attractions that have been "gamified" into experiential challenges, according to the network.
The contestants will need to rely on their knowledge of pop culture, history, geography and observational skills to win clues to their current location and earn an all-important advantage.
The contestants must identify hidden clues that are disguised as artifacts and discern intentional misdirects from competitors to ultimately determine their whereabouts.
"Destination X has already captivated audiences around the world, and now we're bringing a fresh, uniquely NBC twist to it -- led by the endlessly charismatic Jeffrey Dean Morgan," NBC executive Sharon Vuong said in a statement.
"This series is the ultimate high stakes guessing game, inviting viewers to embark on a thrilling journey across Europe's most iconic landscapes and landmarks, all while playing along with our adventurous, dynamic cast."
Jeffrey Dean will also have a few tricks up his sleeve. Not only will he be playing mind games, but he'll also give the contestants ultimatums.
Peter and JaNa will join the cast to "change the trajectory of the game," according to NBC.

As the strangers travel together, trust will be put to the test and alliances will be made throughout the show.
At the end of each episode, certain contestants will be asked to enter the Map Room and place their X on the map to indicate where in the world they think they are.
The contestants are trying to answer the question, "Where the X are we?"
The person to guess the farthest from his or her actual location will be eliminated from the show.
The last player left standing at the end of the tour will find Jeffrey at the ultimate "Destination X" and win $250,000.
