“Jeffrey Dean Morgan embodies the world-class mystery actor, making him the perfect puppet master for this new travel and adventure series,” said Corey Henson, executive vice president of content programming, games and non-linear games at NBCUniversal Entertainment. “He’s a swashbuckling, charming, jumping jack and the ultimate travel companion!”
“When we thought about how we wanted to travel the world, Jeffrey Dean Morgan was the first person we had in mind,” added Toby Gorman, president of Universal Television Alternative Studio. “Destination X is full of adventure, excitement and intrigue, all of which Jeffrey embodies.”
