The BBC has yet to recommission the show

Will there be another season?

The BBC has yet to recommission the travel show for a fifth season. However, given the show’s popularity and its regular scheduling on BBC Two, we’d be surprised if the series wasn’t renewed.

Renewal announcements are typically made after a show’s run, so now that the fourth season has ended, fans should expect to hear news about the programme’s future soon.
